⭐ UNFORTUNATE – THE UNTOLD STORY OF URSULA THE SEA WITCH – LONDON RETURN ANNOUNCED ⭐
The critically acclaimed musical parody UNFORTUNATE – THE UNTOLD STORY OF URSULA THE SEA WITCH will return to London, it has been announced.
The musical will transfer to London’s The Other Palace from for a strictly limited season next February.
Newer, better, ruder and shorter, the 2026 transfer marks the musical’s fourth incarnation following two previous sold-out runs and a successful Christmas season. It will feature a brand-new set and costumes, new jokes, new characters and will play to a new running time of 2 hours including one interval.
Cruella told her side, and Maleficent’s had her moment… Now the legendary sea witch is ready to spill in this tell-all tale of sex, sorcery and suckers – a laugh-a-minute dive through Ursula’s backstory filled with a filthy pop soundtrack, much-loved characters as you’ve never seen them before and enough (eco-friendly) glitter to keep you sparkling all the way home. Gather up your merfriends; it’s going to be one hell of a beach party.
