Who is dressed as Ursula?

"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."

I thought Divine has passed on. Glad to her back.

Believe it or not Divine was the inspiration for Ursula. I'm not really sure who started it, but Ashman grew up in Baltimore the same time Divine did. I hope they get someone like Eartha Kitt to play this part. I know this is just a joke, but from the looks of the directors previous work "The Little Prince" and "Aladdin" it's not too far from where they are headed. It's a shame Crowley isn't designing for that show

Tell me about it. I named my cat Ariel when I was five because she loves water. Sixteen years later, she's getting a bit rickety but she still likes to play in the tub...

Personally, I cannot wait for this. The Little Mermaid used to be one of my favorite Disney movies ever!

Oh dear, I have the PERFECT person to play Ursula. She is hysterical! I used to see her perfom in Nashville. She's back in Louisville now. I give you Ms. Hurricane Summers:
