Sherie Renee Scott.

Was told by reliable sources.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

I like how no one had even mentioned her until I said her name in a thread.


Not that I'm saying I don't think it's true. I hope it is.

I'm sure Sherie will be great but, does anyone have a gun I can borrow?

Emily might want to use it after I'm done if someone wants to pass it to her...

I was praying that these rumors weren't true...I just don't see the fit here at all.

I'm sorry if it sounds rude, unfair, or like I'm jumping the gun, but I just really feel like this amazing role is wasted on her.

What happened to all of the big, brassy, larger-than-life actresses who should have been selected from for this part? This makes me sad.

The role has been changed to a thinner character. Probably to make costume changes easier, esp. if she has a song called "Wasting Away"

I am sure she will do something fun with the role.

A thin Ursula? But...but....

re: And Ursula in THE LITTLE MERMAID is...

Posted: 1/24/07 at 11:28pm

Her name is Sherie Rene Scott.



I don't see it, but then again, I'm not in charge of casting.

maybe the costume is really big?, so that way she's thinner for when she is Venessa.... or even worse Ursula carried by 8 other actors playing the part of her tentacles on "heelies".

^It's called a fat suit.

I think it'd be better if there were 2 separate roles for the transformed Ursula and the octopus one...with SRS as the transformed one.

I agree about the weight issue, it just fits the character so well. But, Sherie’s acting and singing will be amazing. I think she is one of the best young female artists around.

Emily Skinner has past attendance issues. Though she would have been brilliant.

I assumed Wasting Away would remain sarcastic and serve as a comic relief, not require a change in character type...

I dunno, Sherie and rollerskates and fake mermaid tails... sounds like a trainwreck not to be avoided to me! When does this open again?!

re: And Ursula in THE LITTLE MERMAID is...

I thought the rollerskates were just a rumor made up on BWW.

Skinner did NOT want to do the role.
Not many people wanted to be involved with this musical.

They're going in a completely different direction with the character, and making her a sexpot.

Could be interesting.
