The Little Mermaid

 
Based on the original Hans Christian Anderson fable, this tragic journey of broken dreams is an ideal storyline for musical theatre. The Rock/Pop score is to my mind the best theatre writing dean has done, encapsulating every emotion possible. With fun tracks like Its a sailors life to the heart wrenching 'So I say goodbye' the Little mermaid is a fascinating piece. Narrated by a five piece boy band you don't even notice that the protagonist loses her tongue and is unable to sing in the second act.
 

The sound track has various west end singers who are guesting on it (Emma Kershaw, Rohan Rekord, Hazel Fernandez) but the one track that blows me away and in my mind equals any disney classic song is Anna Jane Cassey's version of 'Hocus Pocus' Again Dean also shows his incredible vocal versatility as the prince, and the five narrating (virtual) boyband.
