BSPA is delighted to announce our Junior Summer Youth Project 2024 will be Disney’s. “The Little Mermaid Jr” and tickets are now on sale!!
Journey “Under the sea” with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR., adapted from Disney’s Broadway production and the motion picture (featuring the enormously popular Academy Award-winning music and delightfully charming book and lyrics). Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories, Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR.is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance.
In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home – and her fins – behind and live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she’s the girl whose enchanting voice he’s been seeking.
It is the perfect show for our Junior Project with 4 shows in Stranmillis College Theatre
We are delighted that our Artistic Director: Peter Corry will be directing this magical show and he is very much looking forward to working with our younger pupils, the start of a very busy but exciting summer for him

**Please note there may be some weekend rehearsals for principals**
It is essential that your child attends all rehearsals but if that is not possible, please ensure we know what dates not available and reason, so the team are aware when planning schedule
Unlike our Senior Project we believe that any child should be able to experience the joy of musical theatre and therefore completing the form and payment of fee will confirm your child’s place.
Auditions for principal and featured roles will be held on 2nd June, details will be sent nearer the time.
Fees: £325 (£300 for BSPA Pupils)
For anyone paying in instalments a non refundable deposit of £50 will secure your Child’s place
All fees must be paid before rehearsals start.
