Unfortunate
Fresh from complete sell out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and around the UK comes this critically acclaimed smash hit parody musical. Starring Shawna Hamic (Orange is the New Black, 1776 on Broadway) as ‘Ursula’ and River Medway (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK) as ‘Ariel’, Unfortunate is coming to Southwark Playhouse Elephant and things are gonna get wet!
Join everyone’s favourite Disney Diva, Ursula, as she gives her take on what really happened all those years ago under the sea. With an original hot pop soundtrack and trademark filthy humour, it’s time to take the plunge and dive into this year’s hottest night out.
Cruella told her side, and Maleficent’s had her moment. Now the legendary queer queen is ready to spill, in this tell-all tale of sex, sorcery and suckers.
Paul Virides general managed the 2022 UK tour of Unfortunate for Wildpark Entertainment via Paul Virides Productions. The 2022 tour included runs at Underbelly Festival Earl’s Court, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, The Lowry (Salford), MAST (Southampton) and the Sheffield Lyceum.
In 2023/4 for the larger national tour and Southwark Playhouse Elephant run, PVP provided consultancy support, including creating a bespoke payroll system and additional GM cover, as well as raising a small amount of production investment as part of a rolling relationship with Wildpark.
