Highlighting an incredible Ursula actress

[merprincess]

I was scrolling around YouTube when this performance of Poor Unfortunate Souls caught my eye. The actress playing Ursula is Francesca Camus and she's one of the best I've seen from a stage production - I think I prefer her Ursula over Sherie's tbh! I really like how animated she is and I like that the key of the song isn't too high and perky. Her Ursula really dominates the stage and harkens back to the sophistication that Pat originally brought to the role. I can definitely see how she took the original inspirations in stride while making it her own, really great work!

This took place at the Henderson Pavilion in Nevada in 2017. The production as a whole, judging based on this clip (since I couldn't really find much else), looks to be really really good as well! I also really love the way Flotsam and Jetsam were done, the puppetry with their heads is designed very true to the film!


Check her out for yourselves and let me know what you think!

WELL Let me saw this I HAVE SEEN the Broadway show TWICE The Voyage attraction at Disney World The ABC thing Recently and a small time performance in Smithtown Long Island NY and possibly ANOTHER PERFORMANCE WATCHING THE FILM WITH LIVE ORCHASTRA PERFORMING IN JAN?!!?!?!?! but to the subject at hand This performance you suggest to watch here is ONE TO ADMIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to put it mildly    THIS IS WHAT THE BROADWAY SHOW SHOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE IF DISNEY JUST SPENT A "LITTLE" MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  THE COSTUMES THE PACING AND THE NEW DIALOUGE


WHO MADE THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? BESIDES NV          Ariel's costume here was well ALMOST perfect As was the costumes of the others

Now I am not as versed in stage as some other aspects of the entertainment industry I have dabbled in stage (Was a Roadie at a Raffi Concert) seen various stages in places with all the trappings hidden secrets etc  ONE of the problems with Broadway Little Mermaid was the stage was EXTREMELY limited WHAT I SEE HERE     THE POSSIBILITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Little Mermaid had the MISFORTUNE of being in this theater had it been in a bigger one...……………………………………………………………………………...


As to the actress here YES you are right she is better then Sherie Rene and Faith Prince When I saw Ms. Scott I said             THIS IS URSULA??   SHES TO GORGEOUS


BUT I remembered  she "disguises" herself as Venessa so  a little "subtle" costume change and


BUT URSULA DOES NOT CHANGE INTO VENESSA IN THE BROADWAY SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


if I only got to work at Disney Studios  AND LORD KNOWS I SHOULD HAVE


but I digress        Yes this is a good performance                                               good day all
