Synopsis

So, as previously mentioned, the most popular synopsis has been synopsis 3 with the 2nd ending which is as follows...

Boys father owns the biggest, meanest pirate ship in the entire ocean. The mother died at birth. The father really loved her and was devastated, he locked up his feelings though and carried on the only way he knew how. But the boy, as he grows up doesn't want to be a pirate...it's not the life for him...In the middle of the night he makes a break for it and runs away, taking the rowing boat. There is a big storm that night/ the mermaids sirens begin and he cannot resist. His pirates ship can resist though as the father has shut himself out from the world of love and women. Somehow blocks his ears and steers the ship away. The son becomes stranded on a deserted islands where the only other life form is mermaids. He falls in love with one of the mermaids but there are obvious complications in their relationship...he lives on land and can't breath underwater. They have the option of overcoming this though as true loves first kiss can turn her from a mermaid to a beautiful woman. They are about to share their first kiss when... His fathers ship tracks him down but he refuses to go with them. So they capture the mermaids. There's a big sword fight, the father loses his balance and falls back, in to sea. The boy reaches out to save him but can't reach and the father dies. But I'm not sure I want the father to die because of the son. It's mean. However, if the father were to die, the ship would become the sons responsibilities. Then he has the choice of whether to honour his fathers dying wish which is to give everything up for the mermaid he loves, for love is hard to find and he loved the mother.

For the actual double page spread this will be written out properly. Possibly not as much detail of the story though. For example, I might not put the ending in, leave it on a cliffhanger to make the reader want to see the musical and find out. Also some songs and actors/actresses will be reviewed, with a full list of cast and information on the production side and cost.
