Unfortunate: the untold story of Ursula the sea witch - a review (14/07/2022)

overstudies requested a review of “unfortunate: the untold story of Ursula the sea witch” and for some reason I originally decided to write this as a of tweets, as I'm not usually a reviewer, but for the fact maybe I'd like to do more of that, its now here, on this barely used blog.
This is unedited from my original tweets aside from the addition of the date.

I went on Thursday 14 July 2022 to the giant upside down cow that is udderbelly, which in the had a good range of food and drink


On to the actual show, I’d seen a little of this at west end live but was in love with how fun the set was, and a favourite of mine - a visible band! I went in expecting a slightly naughty and funny evening, and we got that and more! I was actually surprised by how much more

There were wonderfully controlled puppets, actors playing multiple roles, and a range of props that such a small theatre and stage would make you think wasn’t possible! The show itself contains more innuendo and sexual jokes than you can shake a phallic shaped object at
I especially enjoyed some of the jabs at the Disney little mermaid, with the the song parodying kiss the girl being changed to being about getting consent! I’d initially been a little concerned at what direction they were going to take this, but I felt this was the best option
Also I don’t think I could talk about this show without my joy as seeing a plus size woman, who is the “villain” of the original, being portrayed as this woman who has her struggles, and gets her success without having to change her entire being to fit in to a smaller package
So overall if you want a very adult night out full of innuendo, sexual humour, making digs at Disney, and endless laughs, I would recommend unfortunate!

 For a while I’d say I was known amongst friends and future friends who were at the time strangers on Facebook, for my habit of visiting the jungle, the pub of which choir of man is based around, during its first outing un London’s west end. (All photos are my own) Homed again in the arts theatre, the choir of man is a 90 minute non stop emotional rollercoaster with some stunning vocals and surprisingly emotional poetry It’s a show that’s really impacted me throughout the last almost year, so here’s an expansion upon the review I wrote after the first time seeing the show. what a show!! You wouldn’t think a jukebox musical set in a pub could make you laugh and cry so much in 90ish minutes, but it sure delivers! It’s absolutely an absolutely wild evening, I have long delighted in the fact this musical which could so easily have been stereotypical lad culture really touches on the importance of men having a space to talk about and express their emotions, with some real honest emotional d

 Am I really out here starting a blog and a series of posts entirely made from a half joke I made on twitter ? Absolutely, this is the high brow theatre blogging that the world has been missing (I am, being rather sarcastic, but I do enjoy writing) I would like to add before i get in this isn't meant as a "dig" at anyone, just some funny observation I made that really started snowballing! If you'd like to provide pricing for a diet coke at a theatre I've missed, do feel free to contact me on twitter, or @TeaAtTheTheatre on  Instagram. Without further ado let's get in to the meat of the subject: the varying prices of Diet Coke in London's theatres.
