Siouxsie Q's Mermaid Musical 'Fish Girl' Swims to Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. — Following successful runs in New York and Los Angeles, Siouxsie Q is heading to Portland next month to perform her critically acclaimed mermaid musical, “Fish Girl.”

The upcoming production hits the stage as part of the Come Inside Festival that runs from Oct. 4-7.

Described by BroadwayWorld.com as “on the cutting edge of fantasy,” “Fish Girl” is the poignant and entertaining story of an enchanted mermaid plucked from the sea and doomed to sing for her supper.

This unconventional fairy tale sings the story of a lovestruck tourist who falls into the deep end when he meets the “girl” of his dreams.

The original production is a fully realized dream on stage created by Siouxsie Q and Sean Andries.

Written and performed from the perspective of a sex worker and the one who loves her, “Fish Girl” serves as an allegory for our current state of affairs and exposes the deeply personal stakes of sexual politics.

“I've been working on this play throughout my entire career in the adult industry, the first songs came to me nearly the same week I first had sex for money,” Siouxsie Q said. “While the songs and the story have stayed essentially the same, the nuances of the work has grown by leaps and bounds as my career and my relationship to the sex industry has evolved.

“We workshopped and premiered the show at Portland's Fertile Grounds Festival in 2012, and we are so pleased to bring this re-vamped version back to where it was born,” she said.

“Additionally, we have been blessed with the opportunity to collaborate with my longtime friend, Penthouse Pet and fellow member of the APAC Board of Directors, Olive Glass, who has released a brand new set of illustrations that will be premiered on an antique slide projector as part of the show.”

“Fish Girl” received the Best of The Fest award at the 2013 San Francisco Fringe and hailed praise from outlets like the San Francisco Chronicle and SF Weekly.

The show will be held at the Coho Theater from Oct. 4-7. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased here.
