When Long Gone Silver and his bumbling pirates discover Treasure Island, they're not expecting Marina and her super-cool mermaids. Chaos ensues and, when The Sacred Coconut disappears, it's down to singing parrot Rita Conchita and her friends to save the day.
Mermaids & Pirates features a shipload of unforgettable characters, including the Seasick Pirate, a crazy castaway and Isla, Queen of the Island. Packed with calypso-infused songs, salsa-styled choreography and plenty of comic surprises, this one-hour musical celebrates teamwork, courage and the magic of the Caribbean.
