Ursula: Give me back my shell! >:O Ariel: Father said you'd die without it! Ursula: And you _believed him?_ Ariel: It must have terrible power, or else you wouldn't want it so badly! Dang...that's actually pretty clever, Ariel.
CJCroen1393 sounded very Wizard of Oz to me Glinda telling Dorothy about the ruby red slippers "their magic must be very powerful or she wouldn't want them so badly" haha
I don't care what anyone says, Sherie Rene Scott was and always will be the best Broadway Ursula. The only person better is Pat Carroll. Sherie is awesome!
i wish that disney keep this reprise in the movie it sounds so epic and evil which i guess is fitting but sherie was a great ursula even if it different
I think they could have pulled off a giant Ursula. well at least the tenacles part. they could have raised her high into a corner and had huge tentacles drag underneath her or something.
It appears that the tentacles behind her appears to be suggesting that she becomes giant somehow. Notice that when Eric's ship comes in, it looks as though the tentacles are wrapping around it, sort of like the famous Kraken etching.
I like both that and how they show Ursula's manipulative side again too--right as Ariel's about to destroy the shell and kill Ursula, Ursula pulls that "I gave you EVERYTHING...and I could give it to you again...only this time, with a voice too..." Like, as awesome as Ariel was here, I can't deny that Ursula could have won had she not switched gears to "NOW LET'S HAVE A GIRLS' NIGHT OUT AND KILL YOUR DADDY :D"
The ending in this version reminds me of the ending of Anastasia where the heroine destroys the source of the villain's power and thus destroying the villain!
@@shiradaniel really? goes to the video "so we have 1. a sea witch killed by smashing her shell, 2. an evil wizard destroyed by smashing his relaquarie into the ground and now a villain turning into a bird after smashing his staff, what's next the evil queen in a different version of snow white killed by smashing her mirror...wait a minute
@@shiradaniel there are other versions besides that one the animated Christmas special, the one with the 2 creatures that go into different fairy tales to ensure they follow their stories, i think even the one with Mister Magoo where he played all 7 dawarfs
Sherie's Ursula is wounderful. Her voice is incredible and the acting is perfect she fits Ursula amazingly. The energy's insane you can hear she had a blast playing the character and she killed it with the highnotes super talented❤❤❤❤❤❤
'Well, Such a gorgeous sunset, And on the third day! Times up you loose! I'm dragging you down down down, Into the depths, Where you belong. Say goodbye to your prince, To your pink dress. To your sudden puffs, Your mine now mermaid, Get ready to spend the rest of your days as my slave. Plucking the barnacles off my back!"
Ursula: Trust you dear old Auntie instead! Ariel: No! (pulls the magic shell away and smashes it to pieces) Ursula: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! (teh sea witch melts away into dust, lights and smoke, never to harm Ariel or her family again.)
Ha. You should see Aladdin on stage. Anti climactic? Jafars whole final seen left me laughing at how watered down his big reveal was. I don’t get why Disney decided to allow their most iconic villains to be short handed like this.
What I love is how when Ursula is using Ariel’s voice while being unseen, she comes on and basically toys with it, rubbing it in Ariel’s face as she uses it against her and stripping her of the hope that she can keep the fantasy she so desperately wanted. GOD I LOVE URSULA🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈
They didn't do Vanessa on Broadway because it was too hard to stage. Plus, this is how the original Grimm's fairytale goes except in the fairytale Eric marries one of the other princesses and Ariel commits suicide and turns into seafoam. So I wouldn't complain about this ending.
this is the Disney version. Disney makes some of their shows into broadway musical. Its not the hans Christian anderseon version, and the brothers grimm don't have a version of the little mermaid. Also, this isn't how the story was in the original story. The sea witch isn't a villain and the mermaid dies,not the witch. In the original version
They should have put the fog machines in front of her instead of behind. I do wish tho, that they could have made her some what giant like in the movie and have her and all of her tentacles go down in smoke and water.
Legion: *standing on a red energy platform above watching the procedings and laughing* The foolish witch! But she's not...ENTIRELY gone... *examines the shall that help her power laughing with delight*
They said it was too complicated to do. The Vanessa part would be equally as complicated. If they did it, it would be pure magical, but it's way too hard to make a giant Ursula get impaled.
I was doing part European American as Snow White, Blue Fairy, Cinderella, Alice, Wendy, Aurora, Mary Poppins, Ariel, Belle, Esmeralda, Megara, Jane Porter, Merida, Sofia, Anna, & Elsa, Caucasian, Hispanic, & Asian American as Jasmine, Native American as Pocahontas, African American as Tiana & Doc McStuffins, Chinese American as Mulan, Hispanic American as Elena, and Polynesian as Moana. Ariel gets her voice back from Ursula magic shell, angrily yank, and smash the magic shell. Ursula screams and melts away just like the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.
Quite the contrary Norm Lewis is ripped lol down to the 6pack. Physically speaking he’s not far from the movie version. You should see some of these updated versions Ugghh😵😑
@@WTKB82there was a version where she transformed into vanessa But they cut it before it existed Youll find her transformation in poor unfortunate souls reprise demo
This is different than what I saw in other youtubes videos, why is it different? (yes, i saw a broadway video, where ariel didnt get her voice back and didnt turned into a mermaid)
Most other videos on here are Pre-Broadway Tryouts in Denver. So when they moved the show to Broadway, they decided to basically restage/redo this whole section of the show.
whatta crappy ending. I understand plays and musicals have to improvise some parts. ie. that like in the movie, ursula gets killed by the boat stabbing her. That cant be done on stage. But i mean just breaking the shell and killing her on the spot. How uncreative. And why did they leave out Vanessa?
I've got a question...the Ariel at the beginning with her back facing us....was that Sierra....or someone made up to look like Sierra? because that is definatley Sierra at the end of this video....it's a question that's been puzzling my mom and I for two years now!
The plot change was needed because back in this time Broadway didnr have the technology to make ursula giant Thefore they had to get crafty with her death
The ending definitely didn’t work on stage and the way they did it kinda flopped but I think the score and the new songs are pretty great at least. I also like the rest of the show besides the end .
Well we don’t live in a perfect world where the ending of this musical wouldn’t look so anticlimactic. But how would you make the ending just right if it were up to you?
Ursula: Give me back my shell! >:O
Ariel: Father said you'd die without it!

I really agree
I like all the Broadway ursela's but Shrie Rene Scott is my favorite
Heidi is absolutely incredible.
Same she's amazing
Ariel: "It must have terrible power, or you wouldn't want it so badly!"
Did anyone else automatically think of the Wizard of Oz???
@What’sup YTP no
Yesss!
2:36 omg that’s so amazingly belted. No one can top Sherie for Ursula!!
i wish that disney keep this reprise in the movie it sounds so epic and evil which i guess is fitting but sherie was a great ursula even if it different
+The DCreader I know right!!??
Poor Unfortunate Souls reprise was never part of the movie.It was written for the Broadway show which opened in 2008.The movie was released in 1989.
The Rio
+weirdloverofthings There was a reprise written for the movie but it came earlier in the story.
Yes
I can never get over how amazing this set and lighting is!! Truly amazing!!
I love how when Sierra comes out to bow all the little girls start screaming :D Love this show!!
"Even drew a little heart above the I" hahaha
I love that Ariel was forced to make a choice between destroying the shell or not in this version.
Me too
1:59 missed a line:
Triton:“the triton is a very great responsibility”
Ursula: NONSENSE!! Hand it over!
they didn't have that line on Broadway
I think they could have pulled off a giant Ursula. well at least the tenacles part. they could have raised her high into a corner and had huge tentacles drag underneath her or something.

Her voice gives me chills!
"Congratulations." I’m howling 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
I like it how they made Ariel save the day in the musical! Less Cliche!

I think shes GORGEOUS ugh
we made her into a drag role in our school
THERE IS HOPE FOR ME!
the actor had a huge-ass range tho, hope you got the pipes
That is what I was thinking 😂
I played her!!! check out my channel!!!
Its serving "cause its our show, and not yours" energy
Any one else heard the beat drop at 2:05 before she said and now you poor unfortunate souls
Ursula: Oh! Brother darling! (strikes a seductive pose) You're right on cue
CJCroen1393 Sweet home alabama
I am surprised no one brought up the fact that they're the children of a Greek god. Greek gods were notorious for incest.
Gods have no DNA so their good
I'm so excited. I'm performing in this as Ursula in a few weeks. Hope I can live up to Sherie's standards!
'Well, Such a gorgeous sunset, And on the third day! Times up you loose! I'm dragging you down down down, Into the depths, Where you belong. Say goodbye to your prince, To your pink dress.

satin pumps I think not sudden puffs
Lmfao Ursula went right to Hell a là Rasputin from Anastasia! She was an octopus lich all along!
a lich is an undead wizard. Ursula is alive...so nah
Ursula: Trust you dear old Auntie instead!
Ariel: No! (pulls the magic shell away and smashes it to pieces)
Ursula: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! (teh sea witch melts away into dust, lights and smoke, never to harm Ariel or her family again.)
pbscraze It sounded like Ursula said “Just dear old Auntie instead!”
Heehee they're all wearing heelies
That was a very anticlimactic scene.
Ha. You should see Aladdin on stage. Anti climactic? Jafars whole final seen left me laughing at how watered down his big reveal was. I don’t get why Disney decided to allow their most iconic villains to be short handed like this.
There’s only so much they can do in a broadway show
The song is great, her voice is divine. But the blocking here is reprehensible.

Wow great voice she got the tritend and a shell they are both magic what the heck where the hell is Vanessa
They believed it 2puld be to difficult to do the change between vanessa and Ursula in the several scenes it happens
I Love Curtain Calls! :)
I think Pat C . She did a fantastic job.
Actually, The Little Mermaid fairytale is written by H.C. Andersen :D
Sherie Rene Scott Ursula
Sierra Boggess Ariel
The Little Mermaid Original Broadway Cast
I have some Phantom and Les Miserables audios that I would trade for this.
I wish they did giant ursula
The beginning is soooo fucking epic!!!
That isn't the Grimm's version. That's the actual story, as Hans Christian Andersen wrote it. o.o;
this is the Disney version. Disney makes some of their shows into broadway musical. Its not the hans Christian anderseon version, and the brothers grimm don't have a version of the little mermaid. Also, this isn't how the story was in the original story. The sea witch isn't a villain and the mermaid dies,not the witch. In the original version
well the trap door when ursula died it's kinda fail, the audience can see it
wow.aww

How do I get the full show? It says in the description you have a recording
I love this song i have a good taste in music
best scene eva
Sherie Rene Scott Ursula
Original Broadway
As much as I like the live action this ending is way better ❤️❤️❤️
Its obvious that she was soaking in the power of the trident and not paying attention to Ariel.
They said it was too complicated to do. The Vanessa part would be equally as complicated. If they did it, it would be pure magical, but it's way too hard to make a giant Ursula get impaled.

Norm Lewis
Sierra Boggess
Sherie Scott
All wasted for this. I love it, but it could have been better.
bahahahaha i love your username! XD
Not really digging this King Triton. Kind of underwhelming in presence and costume. :/ He looks so puny next to Ursula.
huh? Norm Lewis was fucking buff
Ursula is superior anyways XD
You're opinion is bad and you should feel bad.
Dr. Zoidberg reference
Quite the contrary Norm Lewis is ripped lol down to the 6pack. Physically speaking he’s not far from the movie version. You should see some of these updated versions Ugghh😵😑
Some people are asking about Vanessa but they can’t do it in another version though they did it but no transformation
James Cherosky what version? In none of the stage adaptations of the Disney version did she transform into Vanessa.
@@WTKB82there was a version where she transformed into vanessa
But they cut it before it existed
Youll find her transformation in poor unfortunate souls reprise demo

U saw the pre-broadway version
Is it me, or did they get Ursula mixed up with Morgana? And where the hell is Vanessa?
Jansci7G it takes time to get into the ursula costume, so Vanessa couldn't be there
Omg ikr i thought the same
whatta crappy ending. I understand plays and musicals have to improvise some parts. ie. that like in the movie, ursula gets killed by the boat stabbing her. That cant be done on stage.

71crm it's a stunt. After Ursula sings the stunt escapes Flotsam and Jetsam then runs out the stage letting Sierra join back as a mermaid
@MrStageNerd But wouldn't someone notice her walking offstage?
THIS WAS before broadway
the song and lines are different than our school's for this play...
Sherie Rene Scott Ursula
Little Mermaid Broadway
@omnigeek13 heck, you can tell from her opening singing
Why did they make it so Ursula needed her seashell for magic? She naturally can perform magic and doesn't need the shell like Triton needs the trident
Its broadway
The plot change was needed because back in this time
Broadway didnr have the technology to make ursula giant
Thefore they had to get crafty with her death
@jewey896 Broadway
you can tell from Ursula's opening lines
I cant see ursula eyes opened t-t
@GirlMeetsCandy The rules might be different in Atlantis...
Does someone has the lyrics of this part?
llreis97
Why is King Titan not there when she breaks the shell?? Isn't he supposed to be?
FrancesHanna he was banished but once the shell was broken he got back
awsome!
She's damn good, but Emily Skinner will ALWAYS be the greatest Ursula there has ever been. Yes, even better than the original.
No me gusto que omitieran a vanessa ni la parte donde ursula se hace gigante
Awfully choppy!
Sharon???
Sherie Rene Scott Ursula Broadway
Ursula looks like Eddie Izzard the transvestite, I wonder if its him lol
Gee! You could be a story teller!
I must say i Ursula is my FA-VOU-RITE diseny villian
Well second to maleficent.
is this the broadway show cause this isnt the pre broadway show
YES IT IS THE BROADWAY SHOW
sherie rene scott is amazing, i sent you an email about trading this can you get back to me please x
I love the Little Mermaid but the live stage show just did not work. I saw it on Broadway and it just was not good at all. Very anticlimactic
The ending definitely didn’t work on stage and the way they did it kinda flopped but I think the score and the new songs are pretty great at least. I also like the rest of the show besides the end .
Well we don’t live in a perfect world where the ending of this musical wouldn’t look so anticlimactic. But how would you make the ending just right if it were up to you?
why couldn't they keep to the original way she dies? It would have been so cool.
during this whole video I was yelling at your freaking kid to shut up.
Does it look like she's lip syncing or is it just me?
just you
She messed up at 2:28 haha
Millitrix how?
2:00
Well people say I have a knack for drama......
u roc lady mah
What did she say from 2:46 to 2:50??

Rude.
I think they just change it to match the school's needs, like time, resources...
School?
bruh this is broadway what
well the trap door when ursula died it's kinda fail, the audience can see it
