All-star casting for this unmissable musical theatre event includes:

- Olivier Award nominee and original SIX cast member Natalie Paris as Evie

The show is driven by a brand-new creative team, featuring Dean Lee (choreographer to global icon Janet Jackson), Kristopher Russell & Michael Glover (featured in Rolling Stone), Music and Lyrics by Segun Fawole and Music Production by Jeff Nang. A revolutionary soundtrack that blends cinematic pop, dark soul, and soaring musical-theatre songwriting to create a sound unlike anything currently in the West End.
Natalie Paris added:
“It’s really special to be able to create a role in a new musical, especially when it is as exciting and dynamic as Sea Witch. I cannot wait to bring this magical show to life alongside an epic cast and team of creatives.”
Sea Witch is a new musical that reimagines the origins of one of the sea’s most feared villains.
Jay McGuiness added:
“It’s really exciting working on something new, and especially an amazing fantasy novel being brought to life on stage – I can’t wait to get in the rehearsal room and see what the team brings to life.”
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.
