Tea and Sweets with Ariel

When Marina and I saw The Little Mermaid on the schedule for this summer, we knew we’d want to see it. Before it opened, they also announced three dates for “Tea and Sweets” with Ariel. Our first visit to the theater was for a Cinderella tea party in 2012, so I thought it would be fun to do that again. Marina decided to wear her Ariel costume for the day.

Our trip took longer than we expected but we arrived a bit early for the tea party. We were seated with a very nice mother and daughter. We started off by choosing what kind of tea we wanted to have. Then plates of cookies and pastries were brought out for us.

 

 

While we ate, some of the performers from the show came by our table. First, we chatted with Flounder. The actor remembered meeting us at another show at BDT. Next by our table was Scuttle, being played by a friend of ours. The next character was Prince Eric. Last, Ariel came to our table. She and Marina seemed to bond over their costumes. As we exited the tea party, we stopped to have a photo taken with all the characters.
