Back by popular demand, following a sold out run in 2025, State Street Ballet’s The Little Mermaid returns for another unforgettable dive into one of the world’s most beloved stories. A young mermaid sacrifices everything—her tail, her voice, her world— to pursue life as a human and follow her heart. This innovative reimagining brings the tale to life, with vibrant costumes, incredible life-sized puppets, and an original score. Magical, moving, and perfect for all ages.
