Unlike the character he plays on TV, Tituss Burgess made his mark on Broadway a long time ago. His biggest break came in 2007, when he originated the role of Sebastian in Broadway’s 'Little Mermaid'. But all the while he was playing a talking crab, Burgess had his sights set on a different role. Unfortunately, pitching the powers that be on a black gay man playing Ursula the sea witch didn’t go so well - but at least a packed audience at Burgess’s appearance at Vulture Festival Saturday night was treated to the actor’s rendition of “Poor Unfortunate Souls.” “Maybe they’ll get their act together, put me in that movie,” he said. Someone get that man a white beehive and some tentacles immediately!

@@thelegendofthem6120 Body language. And I have ADHD. I tend to veer off into accidental tangents. Reminding me of the original conversation is one thing, but manipulative people tend to try to steer in a direction that suits them. Due to my ADHD without even trying, I tend to frustrate people into losing their nice filter during conversations. Generally, genuinely nice people get what they consider rudely blunt and then get awkward trying to correct their bluntness. Manipulative people lose their patience faster and they don’t get awkward trying to compose themselves. When people get that frustrated, I figure they’re showing their true colors. This is the kind of person they are and what they really think of me. Then it’s a matter of do I laugh and reassure them I’m not offended, or do I shut up and pay attention till they get it all off their chest.

As a director, I'll say, honestly they might have just liked who they had cast for Ursula. It might not be some big thing. They probably just like the casting they already had.

I love it **Edit this just popped up in my feed and I watched it again. Its May 2021, y'all blew this lil comment up lol. But I'm glad so many agree. I agree he played Ursula to T. People say well he sounds too sweet or too refined. The better to lure you in with my dear! If your goal is lure someone into doing something you want, you're gonna catch more flies with honey. The sweeter more refined the voice the more we're conditioned to trust what its saying. Especially children, which Ariel was. But if you pay attention you can tell somethings not right from the start of the song. Even with all the sweetness. He did a wonderful job in my opinion.

A villain doesn't need to sound evil and loud and upfront, like Maleficent. Ursula at this point is still trying to say "yeah I used to be bad, but I'm actually a saint" etc etc, while manipulating Ariel into what she wants. It's perfect

Hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure it's because a drag queen in a Disney play would be considered "too gay" by homophobic people. Disney likely feels the need to please them so as to avoid hate-driven backlash. In other words, (discreet, implicit) inspiration from a drag queen is doable but having an actual one is not. 😡

I believe casting Titus as Ursula would have been in line with Howard Ashman's original sensibilities and vision. According to Little Mermaid director John Musker: "[Ashman] said he had two rules he tried to follow in the construction of some of his musicals. With songs, Never go slow, when you can go fast…The other rule was: Never go white when you can go black. Howard loved the power, emotion and expressiveness he felt so many black singers brought to the stage and writing material for them was irresistible to him." He also prioritized musical theater actors over celebrity casting.

@IlaughedIcried
@IlaughedIcried Год назад
YES!!!! Oh, hi, Rebecca! :) Speaking of Howard Ashman...I always felt like Ursula was basically Divine, but ALSO sort of a female(?) version of Audrey 2. There are so many parallels between The Little Mermaid and Little Shop Of Horrors (I used to jokingly blend them into The Little Shop of Mermaids) -- Ashman admits it himself, especially the fact that "Somewhere That's Green" and "Part of Your World" are exactly the same song -- so it's not surprising that if you really look at Ursula, you can see the same facial expressions, sinuous movement and sneaky, "frenemy" style manipulative behaviors of Audrey the Plant. And Titus absolutely should be playing Ursula!!

Melissa McCarthy is a decent actress. She just isn't Ursula. That, up there in the video, is perfect Ursula. Ursula is brooding, conniving, mischievous, and plotting which just doesn't describe a performance I could see Melissa McCarthy playing. She is more the goofy sidekick kind of voice performance character.

Far superior lyrics!!! I admit that in the past I've been a nasty They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch But you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways Repented, seen the light, and made a switch True? Yes! And I fortunately know a little magic It's a talent that I always have possessed Although lately, please don't laugh I use it on behalf Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed Pathetic Poor, unfortunate souls In pain In need This one longing to be thinner, That one wants to get the girl And do I help them? Yes, indeed Those poor, unfortunate souls So sad So true They come flocking to my cauldron Crying "spells Ursula, please!" And do I help them? Yes, boo-boo Now it's happened once or twice Someone couldn't pay the price And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals Yes I've had the odd complaint But on the whole I've been a saint To those poor unfortunate souls Oh~! Ariel! What's it gonna be? You wanna go up there and be with princey-boo? Or stay down here with me? You'll have your looks, your so-so face And don't underestimate the importance of body language! The men up there don't like a lot of blabber They think a girl who gossips is a bore Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word And after all dear, what is idle prattle for? Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation True gentlemen avoid it when they can But they dote and swoon and fawn On a lady who's withdrawn It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man ! Come on you poor unfortunate soul Go ahead Make your choice I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day It won't cost much Just your voice! You poor unfortunate soul It's sad but true If you want to cross the bridge, well bitch You've got the pay the toll Take a gulp and take a breath And go ahead and sign this fucking scroll Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys The boss is on a roll !

Starts out the song completely selling the "I'm desperate to convince you I'm not all bad" and seamlessly transitions into pressuring Ariel to take the deal, to finally relishing in tricking this poor unfortunate soul. Needs some polish, but anyone who hasn't played the character before will get that shine by opening night.
