The Little Mermaid Ballet

One of the many reasons that I love Rodger is that he bought me "The Little Mermaid" ballet tickets for my birthday. I know he wasn't really interested in going but he bought them anyways. Then Friday night he hurt is back and didn't sleep at all and was pretty much miserable all of Saturday but he still went. He got dressed up and sat there through the whole thing in pain because he knew how much I wanted to see it.
The ballet was put on by The Inland Pacific Ballet Company was based on the Hans Christian Anderson version of "The Little Mermaid" with a happy twist at the end. In the version that the ballet company created they had the little mermaid's father give the prince fins so that he could become a merman and marry the little mermaid.



The set was beautiful and the dancing was unbelievable. The performers were so graceful and talented. The ballet was held in the Bridges Auditorium at the Claremont Colleges. It was my first experience at the ballet and I had a great time. I would highly recommend it.
