Synopsis

When best buddies, Fish and Chips find and old document in Granddad's shed, the school holidays don't seem so boring. They need to take care of the Blue Mermaid, but have no idea who or what it is. As the friends travel along the coast of Australia in an old boat they encounter many new friends. Steve, Budgie and Croc offer to assist them, by crikey! As do Jasmine and the Chinese dragon, Shelly and Coco the beachcombers, dancing skeletons, and plenty of surfers, synchronized swimmers and dancing fish. Meanwhile, in the bottom of the ocean a mermaid waits for her turn to surface. She is sure today is the day! Traveling in a yellow submarine with her assistant, Hands, the octopus, she arrives to a packed beach with television cameras, Ray Mortein and Sandra Silly reporting and discovers fame to be not all it is cracked up to be! A message in a bottle answers everyone's' question of just who is the Blue Mermaid.

All scenes handled on stage with a minimum fuss. Music from the Sing book series.

Testimonials

A funny, colourful and entertaining musical with the underlying theme that "the thing you are looking for most is generally right under your nose". This musical is full of great songs, crazy characters and hilarious scenes. The script is skillfully written to allow easy transition from scene to scene. There are many opportunities for creative use of dance, lighting and costumes. The synchronized swimming routine and the fluoro skeletons were a real hit.
