A musical parody Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch is arriving at the New Theatre, Peterborough, from April 16-20. 

With an original hot pop soundtrack and trademark filthy humour, the show follows Disney Diva Ursula as she gives her take on what really happened all those years ago under the sea.

Unfortunate tours off the back of a 10-week London run, with rave reviews and six Off West End Theatre Award nominations – one of the highest for any show in the past year.

Shawna Hamic (Orange is the New Black1776 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. Casting is by Sarah Leung CDG.

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.

The smash-hit show is written by Robyn Grant (who also directs) and Daniel Foxx, with music, arrangements, and orchestrations by Tim Gilvin.
