If only they'd kept the "Sing or I'll turn you both into handbags" in the actual show! Best line :D and I love the way she flicks her hands after like… Yup. Here we go.
Amber It's funny but it goes against her character. Ursula is the only Disney villain who actually LOVES her minions. They are the only minions who actually succeed at every task given to them until they die in the movie. Ursula never scolds them or says anything negative to them. That's most likely why the line was taken out. Also to make the song flow better.
This is one of the most clever songs in the whole show. I love that the villain does the kick line...it's so perfect. And the lyrics are genius. Such a fun show! :D
For some reason I wanted to play Ursula as a kid. Always liked the villians. This is now my shower song. I can sing it word by word and backwords. U no judge me 3:
Thank you for posting this... even though this song changed a lot before the official opening... I love Sherie so much, and I only got to see her understudy. ;.; (Seeing TLM was my birthday present, too. I wanted Sherie's autograph so badly!) So I'm thrilled to see her perform this!
@GaaraIsMine4Ever Thank you! Finally someone understand! And like you said Ursual is actually supposed to be a mermaid, but I think the idea of her as an Octopus is really great! Especially with Sherie playing her!!!
This establishes that Broadway Ariel does care about her father's feelings, and he doesn't want to hurt her but has a loose control over his temper when humans are involved. Parents can't win.
I could care less if Sherie was "fat". I care that she has an amazing capability to be slimy and evil while having the most amazing, characterized voice of the entire show. She's perfection.
@bwyfan19 Yeah, a theory is that Ursula used to look like Vanessa (that form she takes with Ariel's voice) and she had a fish tail like the Mer-People until her black magic usage turned her into what she is now. That's why Vanessa looked a lot like Ariel, an Aunt and a Niece can look alike sometimes.
the cool thing with how they did Ursula in this version is she really looked evil and creepier with her color changes like what mos people think of with octopi
Sierra did a backstage tour video and she showed the boys who plays flounder rehearsing the effect. They use these special shoes with wheels at the bottom on the shoes that go with the costumes.
I saw this show back in July and I was very disappointed that "I Want the Good Times Back" was cut and replaced with "Daddy's Little Girl," and "Human Stuff" was gone as well. Although the show itself was fabulous.
@JulieWinchester In the original story Ursula was Triton's sister. Disney changed it completely and then created Morgana for the second movie. I have no idea whether she ever really existed though I doubt it. Anyway, for some reason, they decided to make Ursula Triton's sister again in the musical.
I wish people would get over the fact that Sherie "Isnt Fat" just because in the movie she is. Well, Eric doesnt have a ponytail in the movie, but he does in broadway. It really DOES NOT and SHOULD NOT matter.
This is such a good villain song! Makes me sad that it’s not in the version that schools and community theaters do today. The new song “daddy’s little angel” is ok but this is better
Yep. The guy who plays King Triton in The Little Mermaid and Javert in Les Miserables is Norm Lewis. He also played the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera in 2014. Sierra was his Christine.
It look like someone is actually watching that mermaid because of the two sea green seen all the action of Arie's movements. Then went to the sea witch and sinking a way to have the good times back then after the sea king have told many times and the voice of Aire is his the queen and then sapbation try's to help but the sea king have gotten really trying to figure out to be a father or the sea king
I want the good time back is replace "by Daddy little angel" Human stuff is gone,but they add"if only"(sing by Ariel only)after"World above reprise". This is the national tour product.
Thank you for figuring this out, but honestly it doesn't matter, because they are all talented actors and we should just imagine them as the characters, rather than focus on the color of their skin and how it makes sense.
@SamSkii14 I agree with you. She's not supposed to be fat anyway. Hans Christian Anderson didn't even write Ursula that way. Sherie is a WONDERFUL Ursula.
@SamSkii14 You are so right!! The musical doesn't have to follow the movie down to the last miniscule detail. That's ridiculous! These new little nuances are what set the show apart from the film.
sorry you're right lol, I wrote this at 2am, so I was half asleep~ and I got "Bitch can sing" mixed up with "can see" and added in talk~ oops :D Many pardons, sorry for offending you. I was just sleepy~
@AlexTurner227 Changed for this stage show, Triton and Urusula are siblings, Triton deposed her from her half of the kingdom when she turned into a tyrant.
i think they should have kept ursula's hue blue, with black and purple tentacles.. instead of having her be white with black and green tentacles. and all the green in the background is bad. ursula's color was purple. morgana was green. but i love her costume and think her hair is amazing. =]
@pokemonumbreon1 Oh, absolutely. i'm just saying that it's not Sherie Rene Scott's real hair. have to They probably have to restyle it after every couple of few shows.
Further, they could even get in trouble for associating being overweight with being "evil." Producers have to be especially sensitive nowadays. There are a lot of cooky people out there who will sue over anything...

Sherri did some improv in this character, so this line was probably not written into the script directly. (Late response ik lol)
You just have to love Sherie Rene Scott as Ursula . :D Never fails to make me smile and tap my toe to the beat.
I love Ursula, "sing or I'll turn you both into handbags" haha, that's hilarious, and the song, Good times IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
"I Want the Good Times Back" is an even better villain song than "Poor Unfortunate Souls."
agreed
This is one of the most clever songs in the whole show. I love that the villain does the kick line...it's so perfect. And the lyrics are genius. Such a fun show! :D
It's so cool that they're dancing on heelys.
For some reason I wanted to play Ursula as a kid. Always liked the villians. This is now my shower song. I can sing it word by word and backwords. U no judge me 3:
same!!!
I even tried to make a video of Ursula coming to life xD
ttpinkpinkAJ cool
thx😃
Love this!.. "Ursula" cracks me up. I love the extras Broadway adds..
Thank you for posting this... even though this song changed a lot before the official opening... I love Sherie so much, and I only got to see her understudy. ;.; (Seeing TLM was my birthday present, too. I wanted Sherie's autograph so badly!) So I'm thrilled to see her perform this!
I like how Triton is always wheeled in on his throne.
triton's voice is so cool.. he sounds like a superhero..
lol "sing or i'll turn u both into handbags"
This just gave me more reasons on why these verisons of Floatsam and Jetsam are my favorite
I love Ursula so much. Her character is amazing. I love her humor!!!!!!!!!!
I'm doing little mermaid in school we have the number one drama program in the state of Florida these videos are helpful they are really talented
@GaaraIsMine4Ever
Thank you! Finally someone understand!
And like you said Ursual is actually supposed to be a mermaid, but I think the idea of her as an Octopus is really great!
Especially with Sherie playing her!!!
6:29 when your freind talks about something your parents weren't supposed to know about.
This establishes that Broadway Ariel does care about her father's feelings, and he doesn't want to hurt her but has a loose control over his temper when humans are involved. Parents can't win.
In early versions of the script for the Disney film, she was his sister then too. Disney scrapped it before the final version came out though.
"sing or I'll turn you into handbags" xD
I may be looking way too much into it, but when triton talks about Ariel's voice, Norm's Phantom is showing
Alison Schwab so incest?
Thatperformer387 ? Explain
Alison Schwab because norm was the phantom it just feels so uncomfortable
Since he played father than played her lover
omg ikr i thought i was the only one who heard it coming through and was like omg phantom but then it's like nope wrong musical
Thanks for uploading and thanks for sharing the experience of this production :D
OH MY GOSH TRITAN IS JAVER FROM THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF LES MISERABLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could care less if Sherie was "fat". I care that she has an amazing capability to be slimy and evil while having the most amazing, characterized voice of the entire show. She's perfection.
AHAHAHA "as long as you live under my reef"
@bwyfan19 Yeah, a theory is that Ursula used to look like Vanessa (that form she takes with Ariel's voice) and she had a fish tail like the Mer-People until her black magic usage turned her into what she is now.

I love that Sebastian dude ;)
the cool thing with how they did Ursula in this version is she really looked evil and creepier with her color changes like what mos people think of with octopi
Are they on rollerblades for the "floating" effect?... Wonderful!
Sierra did a backstage tour video and she showed the boys who plays flounder rehearsing the effect. They use these special shoes with wheels at the bottom on the shoes that go with the costumes.
Qd Nguyen they r called hellys i believe
Yeah Hellys
sailormewmewinuluver Heelys*
Qd Nguyen i meant heelys my keyboard sucks so not all the keys work all the time
i love how she milks her ursula role. the perfect ursula of all time!
I saw this show back in July and I was very disappointed that "I Want the Good Times Back" was cut and replaced with "Daddy's Little Girl," and "Human Stuff" was gone as well. Although the show itself was fabulous.
Wow really? Those are my favorite songs along with She's In Love and Kiss the Girl
i Know:( :( :( :( :( :( :(
Asha wait it was cut from the professional production? Or just whoever has the rights to it
Thatperformer387 I think it's been cut from the version that's currently available for licensing. The director didn't cut it.
Asha I love the good times back song, but I also love Daddy's lil angel. And human stuff is one of my favorites
"Did I use black magic? Well oopsy! My bad!" Best. Villain. Ever.
Ursala is like medusa, she was turned into that by Triton after being banished
Nah in the replancement for this song "daddy's little angel" in the junior version explains she was always like that
Everyone's so talented but I really hate the costumes
Norm is fantastic XD
This is my jam ;D
Fine...it's the song I sing in the shower. 3:
Why do Flotsam and Jetsam remind me of the Grinch?
i love Ursula's hair :) with her magic shel. Lol.
Is this a Pretty Little Liars reference? ;) :D
@JulieWinchester In the original story Ursula was Triton's sister. Disney changed it completely and then created Morgana for the second movie. I have no idea whether she ever really existed though I doubt it. Anyway, for some reason, they decided to make Ursula Triton's sister again in the musical.
I love how this is so multi-racial!! :))))
Ursula is too amazing.

This is such a good villain song! Makes me sad that it’s not in the version that schools and community theaters do today. The new song “daddy’s little angel” is ok but this is better
Is King Triton also Javert from the 25th Les Miserables? Cooool
Yep. The guy who plays King Triton in The Little Mermaid and Javert in Les Miserables is Norm Lewis. He also played the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera in 2014. Sierra was his Christine.

Sebastian, that little gangster in the end
the song at 4:04 reminds me at the begining of Be Our Guest
@BeautifulWalrus She's Ursala's sister from TLM 2 return to the sea.
Don't care what rendition it is, my fave is still Ursula!
Love her version here!
it's called color-blind casting people! Deal!!!
Really good!
I want the good time back is replace "by Daddy little angel"
Human stuff is gone,but they add"if only"(sing by Ariel only)after"World above reprise".
This is the national tour product.
@BeautifulWalrus as the bottom Morgana is Ursula;s sister and King Triton is Ursula's Brother so Ariel is her niece along with the other six sisters
Sierra Boggess is ariel. She is amazing. She is also Christine in the phantom of the opera 25 anniversary and in las vegas
I LOVE THE URSALA ROLE IF I WAS IN THIS SHOW THAT IS THE ROLE I WOULD WANT
Thank you for figuring this out, but honestly it doesn't matter, because they are all talented actors and we should just imagine them as the characters, rather than focus on the color of their skin and how it makes sense.
I love this!!! Ursula is my favorite!
Poor Sebastian always stuck being the babysitter.
King Triton seems like a Mufasa! Maybe he played him on Broadway at one point. And he kinda sings like a Jean Faljean.
@xceeejy
they probably changed the color to green because its more vibrant then purple so it was more visible to people further away from the stage
I am so excites to do this show this year. I really really want to be Ariel
i was thinking about that. i think ur guys r right
got it thx lol...i can't believe i didn't get that so how do you know so much about htis..were you in it or something??
its funny how Ursula says his Achilles' heel when they're merpeople with out feet and heels but if they said Achilles' fin the crowd may not it get
@SamSkii14
I agree with you. She's not supposed to be fat anyway. Hans Christian Anderson didn't even write Ursula that way. Sherie is a WONDERFUL Ursula.
Ursala is what we in theater call a "show stealer"
my favorite song and disney villian
i love the little mermaid
xxx
How could I not notice that!?
@SamSkii14 You are so right!! The musical doesn't have to follow the movie down to the last miniscule detail. That's ridiculous! These new little nuances are what set the show apart from the film.
sorry you're right lol, I wrote this at 2am, so I was half asleep~ and I got "Bitch can sing" mixed up with "can see" and added in talk~ oops :D
Many pardons, sorry for offending you. I was just sleepy~
@AlexTurner227 Changed for this stage show, Triton and Urusula are siblings, Triton deposed her from her half of the kingdom when she turned into a tyrant.
lol *walk walk* whee *heele's off*
If only Ramin got to play Erik...Oh wait! He already did! I meant if only Ramin got to play...Eric!
Yes, you're right
Are they wearing healees or rollerblades?
i think they should have kept ursula's hue blue, with black and purple tentacles.. instead of having her be white with black and green tentacles. and all the green in the background is bad. ursula's color was purple. morgana was green. but i love her costume and think her hair is amazing. =]
I'm in little mermaid jr. Playing a mersister for the second time!
me too!😄
I honestly don't like the mermaids' costumes... I think they'd be better without the tail, it's just a bit distracting.
Yeah I agree
i want to see this in person why can't they come to Chicago!!!
@pokemonumbreon1 Oh, absolutely. i'm just saying that it's not Sherie Rene Scott's real hair. have to
They probably have to restyle it after every couple of few shows.
Heeles....That's why you see the little hop everytime they simulate swimming.
Further, they could even get in trouble for associating being overweight with being "evil." Producers have to be especially sensitive nowadays. There are a lot of cooky people out there who will sue over anything...
It's much better in real life. Recorded versions never give much justice.
I think he puts down the camera because its polite to clap after every scene in a Broadway performance.
i think it is funny how in the movie Ursula is taler then her two helpers but in here she is tinyer lol but i love her in here
I so wanna sing this song.
@ShadowSonic2 Also, not many people know that Ursula is actually a squid because she only has 6 tentacles.
The quality is kinda grainy, one of the eels looks like Kenneth from 30 rock to me. lol. The very thought makes me giggle.
I have never seen heelies used so much o.0
ABSOLUTELY!!!!! :)
i wonder how much hair spray it took to keep ursulas hair to stay up like that for that long
she's ursula's sister from the little mermaid 2
They are wearing heelys..
I need to get me a Flotsam and Jetsam.
they wear heelies, haah :L + the girl who plays ariel sounds exactly like she did in the film :O!
@SamSkii14 but Eric looks so much hotter without the pony tail.... and yes, I know that's just an animation! :P
@PercFreak92 This is Sherie Rene Scott :)
The sea king doesn't have a portable throne
