City Circle - Rachel Howell, director, and Chris Okiishi, assistant director, have announced a cast for Once on This Island, book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty.
This show is a calypso-flavored re-working of the “Little Mermaid” story. Ti Moune, a poor peasant girl, falls in love with Daniel, an upper class boy whose life she saves. The show opens on a Caribbean island where villagers comfort a little girl with the story of the orphan Ti Moune, destined to love too much for the human heart to bear. The show focuses on the effects social class divisions have on love.

Little Ti moune: Rachel Falduto
Ti moune: Melissa Melloy
Daniel: TBA
Andrea: Megan Henry
Mama: Genevieve Heinrich
