Mermaid is a classic that has inspired not only Disney to produce a “live” version of 2023, but also a variety of unique art forms from around the world. Among them, Vietnam also had a version Mermaid own, but expressed in an extremely unique and graceful form.
Specifically, in 2004, the IDECAF theater stage launched the project Once Upon A Time 7 Name Mermaid , inspired by the familiar old story of Andersen. The play does not necessarily learn the shape of Disney movies, on the contrary, creates its own unique characters, with funny and charming names.
The female lead image was built into a mermaid named Me Ly, performed by Meritorious Artist My Duyen. With her youthful beauty over time, it’s not when My Duyen often takes on the role of the princess of Once Upon a Time.
The character of the prince in the fairy tale The Little Mermaid played by actor Quoc Khanh. He scored points for his handsome, bright and sweet voice. Every time I say “Girl…”, so many hearts melt
Artist Bach Long takes on the role of Hai Vuong – the father of the mermaid Me Ly. The shape of the water king is somewhat sloppy, heavy, but still has its own unique and humorous
Actress Hong Anh that year was assigned the role of the villain – the sorceress Octopus. Hong Anh’s appearance and performance in the play was praised and remains to this day one of the highest-rated villains of Once Upon a Time.
Meritorious Artist Thanh Loc embodied the image of Sebastian the crab in the play The Little Mermaid, named Me Muoi. The cute and funny performance of the veteran artist has helped the image of the crab come to life
Always accompanying the mermaid Me Ly and the crab Me Muoi is the character Me Lo, played by artist Thanh Thuy. Me Lo fish also has many witty lines like Me Muoi, also known as “golden fish” and vows to sing to the last drop of fish sauce.
Not only Once Upon a Time, the program Once Upon a Time also exploits the story of the mermaid, but this time focuses on Me Ly’s daughter. The mischievous, pretty girl of Sea Flower is not inferior to the Disney version’s Melody
Artist Dai Nghia specializes in taking on strange characters in Once Upon a Time, and this time too. He was given the role of Chubby Shark in The Little Mermaid’s Daughter, completely different from the cunning Undertow fish in Disney cartoons.
Ursula is gone, but there is still a younger sister Morgana “troubled” the great sea. This villain is performed by artist Thanh Thuy in The Old Story with the name Seven Hammers. The funny thing about this character is that he always calls the name of the trident by mistake
