The Little Mermaid GENDERBEND Audio Drama / Musical
SowiesoJustin for Ursulus - MALE
Backing track for Poor Unfortunate Souls: https://youtu.be/yhE5mupTt8k?t=166
Character description:
Ursulus' character is very consistent. He is shown to be a power-hungry, ambitious, manipulative warlock with a tendency to excuse his own behaviour, but he's also very flamboyant, is clearly comfortable in his own skin, and has a very sassy sense of humor. Poor Unfortunate Souls might be the most powerful song in this entire musical, and Ursulus is certainly the part for it.
Come in. Come in, my child. We mustn't lurk in doorways - it's rude. One MIGHT question your upbringing. . . . Now, then. You're here because you have a thing for this human. This, er, princess gal. Not that I blame you - she is quite a catch, isn't she? Well, angel fish, the solution to your problem is simple. The only way to get what you want - is to become a human yourself.
]Please start the backing track around 2:46]
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation -
True ladies will avoid it when they can.
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a man who is withdrawn;
It's he who holds his tongue who gets a gal!
Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy warlock
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 a bridge, my sweet
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll!
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got him, gals!
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul.
