About the Show:

A Murmured Tale is a musical adaptation of the 19th century folktale by Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid. This rendition of the story uses original music, narration, and correography to bring new life to Andersen's classic tale. The musical was originally written in 2005 by Chloe, Rachel and Erika Tietjen (aka the T-Sisters) and Melanie Paterson.

Since it's initial creation this show has been enlivened through various manifestations and shaped by changing casts, musicians and venues; from a performance as an art school senior thesis to a production in an alternative arts festival in Baltimore, Maryland, Whartscape, this story has demonstrated its dynamism. Last spring we completed our first series of full length performances in our native land of California at Shotwell Studios in San Francisco. See photos here.
