Critically acclaimed musical parody Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch has released production photos ahead of the show opening at Southwark Playhouse Elephant this evening.
The show will run in London until 17th February before embarking on a tour of the UK’s biggest theatres through to July 2024.
With an original hot pop soundtrack and trademark filthy humour, Shawna Hamic (Orange is the New Black, 1776 on Broadway) leads the cast as Ursula, opposite Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK star River Medway as Ariel. They are joined by Thomas Lowe (Triton), Allie Dart (Sebastian), Jamie Mawson (Eric), Julian Capolei (Grimsby) and Corrina Buchan, Jack Gray, Jamie McKillop and Milly Willows in the ensemble.
Cruella told her side, and Maleficent’s had her moment. Now the legendary queer queen is ready to spill, in this tell-all tale of sex, sorcery and suckers. With a new script and production, the latest version of this hit show is bigger, bolder and sexier than ever before. It’s time to take the plunge and dive into this year’s hottest night out.
