Weeki Wachee produced an underwater ‘Alice in Waterland’ in the mid-1960s. 25 mermaids got their underwater Broadway musical debut! The tough part was creating the costumes to be underwater and to work with air tanks and the breathing hoses. Tweedledum & Tweedledee hid their air tanks in their fiberglass bellies.
This is from ‘Weeki Wachee – City of Mermaids’ by Lu Vickers and Sara Dionne.
This is a fantastic, colorful and very well written book.
