Allegro

Edinburgh based amateur musical theatre society. The Little Mermaid 11th - 14th November 2026 🧜‍♀️🌊

Allegro was formed in 1977 from the then Barclay Bruntsfield Drama Group. The intention of the company was to bring lesser known or rarely performed musicals to the attention of audiences for amateur theatre in Edinburgh. The company has come a long way in that time, building up a reputation for producing highly polished performances with high standards of acting, singing and choreography. However

, as a consequence of performing these lesser known shows and the high costs involved in producing stage musicals, following our 2001 production Allegro found itself in the position of being unable to fund another full production. Our concert production in 2004 raised sufficient funds to enable us to restart the company and present a full scale musical production of the same high standard as before.

Everyone at Allegro would like to send the biggest congratulations to our wonderful Musical Director, Lou and her soon-to-be husband Joe, as they tie the knot today! 💍✨

Having first met during Legally Blonde, theirs is another beautiful Allegro love story and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate it.

Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, music and happiness 💕

Could you be our King of the Sea?

King Triton, King of the Sea and a harried single father to seven girls, struggles to balance his political and paternal powers. A widower, Triton is as fond of his daughters as he is frustrated with their teenage angst. Even when unsure of his parenting technique, he is a tender patriarch who becomes a royal force to be reckoned with when Ariel’s safety and happiness is threatened by his sister, the Sea Witch Ursula.

Could you be our tentacled Sea Witch?

Ursula is the tentacled and manipulative Sea Witch who is sister to King Triton. Cunning and calculating, she will stop at nothing to get what she wants – and what she wants is Triton’s throne. To gain the upper-hand, she utilises her slick sense of humour, a flash of glamour, and larger-than-life confidence.
