I was there in October '08 and also loved Flotsam and Jetsam! Especially the blond one was just amazing, although they don't have it easy-going acting next to brilliant Sherie Rene Scott!
i saw it yesterday...it was ok. not the best show on broadway. sherie was great as ursula but seemed to completely loose interest during act 2. the one who played ariel was great, so was sebastian and flounder. flotsam and jetsam were the gayest men i've ever seen in a musical and king triton's voice was a little too...annoying. it definitely had some great moments though
well ur mentally ill if u think triton's voice is annoying hahaha, and if u didnt really like it, why did u come here looking for the song? thats what i thought
Ugh, I love this song. I refuse to put the ! as my endings, because everything would look tacky, but seriously, I'm glad they sped up the song for broadway. Its WAY too slow here, but Sherie still owns it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!111!!1!!one
oh, thank goodness!!! but still, does the wig always look like that or is it hairsprayed? cause i heard that they took ten cans a show on that and that seems ridiculous.
I think Sherie's AMAZING in this role! She's brought a completely different interpretation to that of Pat Carol and is more vampy. She has attitude and is the sort of actress I feel who we can see immediately has a point of view when she is on stage. SHERIE! SHERIE! SHERIE!
There are so few good roles out there for plus-sized performers---even as there are more and more plus-sized people out there. Ursula is supposed to be huge, fascinatingly corpulent, and with a deep booming voice. Why would Disney cast a thin actress with a high voice to play Ursula in this musical? Then again, perhaps it's not such a surprise when you consider that Disney Store employees have to "maintain an appropriate body weight, so as not to distract from the displays."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I love Sherie, I just hate her in this role. I think Ursula should have been cast as a huge like 300 lb Black Gosple Singer. Sherie's voice is not strong enough to be a Ursula to me.
this part is the first time she comes out, i felt so exited when i saw her because at that time you know tha the show is great!!!!, you just find that out when she comes out
YES!! I really agree with you! I'm Italian and I spent my holidays in N.Y ..everything was wonderful but the best thing I did was go to see this great show!!!!
I've seen this show in nyc, and I can say that she honestly stole the show. She fit the role very well, unless you've seen the show then I think it's hard to say whether or not she fits the part.
Sherie is so amazing in the role. Just go see her live and any doubt you have about her will disappear instantly. When I saw her, she just about stole the show.
I love the original picture Ursula, but it was logically that in a broadway musical of Disney it was be changed the concept (like the Lion King) and this new Ursula i loved too... The motion picture and the musical it'll be 2 diferents things.
i love sherie and she made ursula her own and no she is not a big fat diva.. she made ursula, a old broadway chick.. honestly i think she did a good job.
I still think that Sherie Rene Scott was the wrong choice... I love her voice, and I think she's immensely talented, but come on! It's Ursula! She's supposed to be a big fat lady with a deep, booming alto! I'm sure Scott will be awesome as always, but I just feel like we've departed the text a little TOO much.
ok I saw the show twice and she is definatly not miscasted! she was incredible along with sierra boggess, tituss, and cody, and tyler and derek! it was overall casted great!
She's amazing! Her costume as Ursula is incredible!! I can't wait to see this musical! She was the original broadway cast in Aida. She played the princess, her performance singing "My Strongest Suit" was amazing!!
Um...This is Sherie Rene Scott we're talking about here. How can anyone honestly think she is miscast? HELLO! She's only one of THE most talented and famous Broadway veterans ever. I'm pretty sure they knew what they were doing when they hired her. And I saw her in Denver, and she is absolutely incredible!
CAN YOU UPLOAD HUMAN STUFF OR THE WORLD ABOVE OR DAUGHTERS OF TRITON! OR UNDER THE SEA? OR KISS THE GIRL? ANY SONG JUST THAT ISNT UPLOADED! (cause i already put them on my quicklist lol)
I won't upload them, but if you send me a message, I'd be glad to send the audio to you via an email or (preferably) AIM as I have done with several other people. ;)

By the lyrics in 1:53 to 1:58 it can be assumed that Ursula is a cannibal. No wonder they exiled her from the palace.
