News Story

Diving into Oxford this week, RuPaul's Drag Race UK's River Medway and Orange is the New Black's Shawna Hamic braved the cold on the banks of the River Cherwell yesterday to get audiences excited for Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch.

Setting about Christ Church Meadow, 'Ursula' and 'Ariel' brought some unexpected joy to passing punters. However gloomy the weather may have been, the pair brought some much-needed colour to the afternoon before heading back to The Playhouse just before a very apt shower of rain. Things really are going to get wet in Oxford this week!

The brand-new show features an original hot pop soundtrack (listen on Spotify) and trademark filthy humour. The show received rave reviews in London, which have continued during its run in Oxford, with nominations for six Off West End Theatre Awards – one of the highest for any show in the past year. For those aged over 16, Unfortunate puts the Disney Diva front and centre, giving her take on what really happened all those years ago. Take the plunge and experience Ursula in a way you’ve never seen before.

Cruella told her side, and Maleficent 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.

Don't miss the outrageous and wickedly camp cast of this smash hit parody musical. Playing on our Main Stage until Saturday.
