Hello landlubbers and denizens of the deeps. It’s Lewis here reporting for the Daily Star(fish). Following a snowy weekend off, this week was kicked off at Cannon house with singing recaps under the tutelage of Mike B. Wednesday saw us all running some of the show ahead of the week’s main event – the first […]

Hello Merfolk my name is Debbie and I am playing the part of Briny one of the mermaid sisters! This week we were swept along on the currents of the stormy ocean with rehearsal venues being changed but in true SMP spirit we pull together and make the best of a challenge. On Monday we […]

Hi, I’m Mike Benyon, musical director for this and the vast majority of SMP’s pantos in the last 25 years! It’s normally fairly easy to tell early on whether you have a good show on your hands and A Little Mermaid certainly comes into that category. To start with we are blessed with an SMP […]

Greetings humans! This week’s blog comes from your very own sea princess- Coral. I’m Mariel’s (ditzy) sister and proud daughter of King Triton- Lord of the Seas. This week’s rehearsal saw the return of our glorious costumiers Ellie and Fay, who came armed with sequins and ball-gowns, ready to robe us under-the-sea royalty. There was […]

Welcome mere mortals. This is Triton! I am Mariel’s father and king of the Merfolk. We had the pleasure this week to be rehearsing one of Jo B’s awesome choreographed numbers. This dance is a interesting mix between fluid movements to more upbeat choreography. Jo, as always, tested our dance ability and all the cast […]

Hi Marian here, October has been a bit of a busy month for me, so I missed a couple of rehearsals in the last few weeks, which is never ideal as panto rehearsals are particularly busy and fast paced. I was therefore very pleased to see that we were doing dance recaps this week on […]

Greetings! I am Crusty, the super intelligent villainous side kick of Octavia! I am using big words like villainous in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis – you know like clever and that! We have had a marvellous time in rehearsal this week learning lots of songs and dances to dazzle you with! […]

Hi everyone out there, my name is Tina and I have been lucky enough to be chosen to not only tread the board’s once again with this bunch but the chance to rule the on land kingdom as the Queen with my King Andy as well as swim the sparkly depths of the sea with […]

Hello! Luke here, aka Corky a splendidly dense minion shark! Another fun week of rehearsals here in SMP’s production of The Little Mermaid. Monday saw us recapping the dance numbers already learned and then setting the dance to our finale song. Without giving it away, it’s an absolute banger of a track and the routine […]
