Critically acclaimed musical parody Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch will start its UK tour at The Lowry this February.

Coming off the back of a 10-week London run, the musical will hit The Lowry in Salford from Thursday February 22 – Saturday March 2 2024.

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.


With a new script and production, the latest version of the show claims to be “bigger, bolder and sexier than ever before.”

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. Casting is by Sarah Leung CDG.

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