Disney musical spectacular Frozen, spun from Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen, has added extra matinees for the Easter holidays, and you can also check out a new contemporary ballet, Grimm, based on the dark tales of the Brothers Grimm who wrote Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Now The Little Mermaid is swimming into the mix of this magical line-up of Sydney shows ready to cast a spell on you.
The Victorian State Ballet will take up residence at The Concourse in Chatswood with their vision of this under the sea fantasy.

Ariel will be performed by Alana Puddy and Janae Kerr alternately, with Charlie Morton as the admiring sailor she saves from the wild seas after a devastating shipwreck.
