The Story
Sea Witch is a new musical that reimagines the origins of one of the sea’s most feared villains. A prequel inspired by The Little Mermaid, it follows Evie, a witch surviving in a world where magic is outlawed.
When her fate collides with Annemette, a mermaid with a secret of her own, both are driven toward a reckoning that will reshape their futures forever. A powerful story of identity, sacrifice, and self-discovery. A myth reimagined. A villain reborn.
