This week will take the stage for producing the Little Mermaid Chanukah starring Adi Beatty. The musical, which will run across the country until January 6, tells the story of the famous fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, and alongside Beatty playing Bar Grotsky and Ilana Avital.
"We're in the middle of rehearsals," says Beatty, who, despite her young age of 18, has been on the stage for quite a few years now, since she was discovered at the Rainbow Music School program at age 10. Beatty has so far been able to play in the play "The Doll Zahava", in the performance of Little Michal and in the musicals "The Jungle Book" and "The Miseries of Life" that came up in the Deer House. She spent the last two years studying at school and was missing from the stage. She is now returning, preparing for her next stage: recruiting to the IDF.
"Because of my maturity, I haven't performed in theater for the last two years, but I graduated and this February I am recruiting for a military band," Beatty says. "I don't know which band yet but it really excites me. I'm starting a new era in life."
In Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy tale, the ending is not the end of the mouth. The prince falls in love with someone else and marries her, and the mermaid becomes foamy over the waves, which means dead. The Israeli deportation had no intention of breaking the children's hearts, so they embraced the optimistic ending of Disney Studios in the fairytale animated version.
"We didn't want the kids to come out crying, so we went for the Disney optimistic ending," Beatty says. "I'm the most Disney girl. For me, this is the dream of this production, it's a privilege. As a child, there was no Disney movie I missed or a show I hadn't seen."

Are you ready and ready for the Chanukah marathon?
"You have to be responsible, to know that in the near future I go to bed early, and should not go out for coffee with friends. You also have to keep your voice, speak correctly, be aware of the sound. I practice voice development lessons and pay attention to it. Raise your voice, don't get upset and sleep a lot. "
These days Beatty also appears in a show entirely dedicated to Disney songs, which went on at the piano festival. "It's a hit by a hitman fan who hosts me, and it's all made up of Disney songs," Beatty says. "It has songs from all kinds of movies, like 'Breaking the Ice', 'The Beauty and the Beast', 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Lion King', 'Cinderella' and more. Among the songs are passages. A lovely playing fan and this is a magical show for the whole family "The audience is participating, the kids are active. It's a show that was born for the piano festival but it has a demand and we continue to perform. On December 29, we will be in Zappa in Tel Aviv."
Soon, a glimpse of Beatty's older side taking part in the new "Survivor" season on Network 13. Filming has already ended, but Beatty is prevented from expanding on what is expected of us. "I came back from filming in the Philippines two months ago and it was a crazy experience," she says. "It's very different from being a (laughing) Disney princess. It was definitely one of the craziest experiences I've ever had in life, and I believe I will feel that way in many years when I am older."
