It's newer, better, and ruder – don't miss Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch.

Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch is a parody starring the evil villain Ursula from Disney's The Little Mermaid. This critically acclaimed musical has audiences laughing in their seats as the madness unfolds to a brilliant original pop soundtrack, accompanied by lashings of wicked adult humour.

Acclaimed seasons in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Manchester, and London precede this popular show, a jewel in the Edinburgh Festival crown in 2019 and a sell-out at the festival for 2022. A 2024 London run and UK tour, plus a Nordic premiere in Sweden, make the latest run a potential best-seller.

The plot sees Ursula telling her own version of what really happened all those years ago under the ocean. A hilarious tell-all story of sex and magic ensues, accompanied by fabulous soundtrack to create a sparkly affair starring beloved characters seen in an entirely different, naughty light.

The cast features Sam Buttery as Ursula and Miracle Chance as Ariel. Book and Lyrics by Robyn Grant and Daniel Foxx, Music by Tim Gilvin and direction from Robyn Grant turn the comedy dial up to eleven.
