The Plot Unfurls: Ursula’s Side of the Story
Who Is Ursula?
Ursula, the iconic sea witch from “The Little Mermaid,” has always been shrouded in mystery. But now, she’s ready to spill the salty tea. Fresh from complete sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and across the UK, “Unfortunate” gives Ursula the spotlight she deserves.
Starring Shawna Hamic and River Medway
Shawna Hamic, known for her role in “Orange is the New Black” and her Broadway performance in “1776,” takes on the role of our favorite Disney Diva, Ursula.
River Medway, a star from “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK,” transforms into Ariel, the little mermaid herself.
What to Expect: A Sea Witch’s Tale
Original Hot Pop Soundtrack
Ursula spills the beans with an original hot pop soundtrack. Expect catchy tunes, sassy lyrics, and a few surprises beneath the waves.
Trademark Filthy Humor
This isn’t your typical Disney tale. “Unfortunate” dives into the deep end with trademark filthy humor. Brace yourself for laughs, gasps, and maybe a scandalous revelation or two.
Sex, Sorcery, and Suckers
The legendary queer queen bares it all—sex, sorcery, and suckers. Ursula’s side of the story involves more than just stealing voices and signing contracts. It’s a tell-all tale of intrigue, betrayal, and fabulousness.
Age Guidance and Q&A Session
Age Guidance: 16+ (Contains strong language, partial nudity, scenes of a sexual nature, and flashing lights.)
Q&A Session: Following the Thursday evening performance, there will be a short Q&A session with members of the company. It’s free for all ticket holders.
