More About the Production
Sea Witch is created and conceived by Kristopher Russell and Michael David Glover, with a book by Glover and music and lyrics by Segun Fawole. Music production is by Jeff Nang, delivering a soundtrack that feels cinematic, contemporary, and emotionally raw.
Inspired by The Little Mermaid and based on Sea Witch by Sarah Henning (adapted with permission of HarperCollins Publishers), the musical reimagines the origins of one of fantasy’s most misunderstood antagonists.
The story follows Evie, a witch surviving in a world where magic is outlawed. When her fate collides with Annemette, a mermaid hiding a dangerous secret, both are pulled toward a reckoning that will reshape their futures forever.
This is a story of identity, sacrifice, power, and self-discovery.
A myth reimagined.
A villain reborn.
The Story
Sea Witch follows Evie, a witch surviving in a world where magic is outlawed. However, her carefully balanced life begins to unravel when she crosses paths with Annemette, a mermaid hiding a dangerous secret of her own.
As their fates collide, both characters face choices that will ultimately reshape their futures forever. In doing so, the musical explores themes of identity, sacrifice, and self-discovery, while challenging traditional ideas of heroes and villains.
Ultimately, Sea Witch presents a myth reimagined — and a villain reborn.
