After last year’s highly successful production in Fergus and Kitchener, the decision was made to plan for a multi-city tour the following Summer.

With the first day of summer just a few days ago, the cast and crew of Playful Fox Productions Disney’s The Little Mermaid are readying their fins, flippers, claws, tentacles and what’s that word again… oh feet for Opening Night!

Travelling to five different cities this July and August, this magical story of Ariel’s journey of self-discovery is being performed by volunteers from all over Southwestern Ontario including cast members from right here in Brant County and Brantford.

“Given how loved our Disney musicals have been here in Paris and Brantford, especially after our soldout production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at the Sanderson Centre last December, it was a no-brainer when putting this tour together to include our wonderful home base of the ForParis Centre (Paris Community Church) here in the beautiful town of Paris,” said Marissa Wilson-Fox, Producer and Music Director. “We are also pleased to let the public know that our venue does have air conditioning and concessions, including bottled water, will be available at the show.”

This is not the first time Playful Fox Productions has put on Disney’s The Little Mermaid in Paris The show was previously staged in 2019 and again in 2022. Even if you’ve seen the show in the past, there have been a bunch of exciting new surprises added specifically for this tour.

“Playful Fox is known for our audience engagement and Little Mermaid is no different! We guarantee that there will be times you’ll want to laugh, cry, and to get up and dance!” said Wilson-Fox.
