OHMYGOD HEY!

On Sunday, London's theatregoers had the unique opportunity to see two different musicals, both offering insight into the backstory of the sea witch from the Little Mermaid.

One of these was Unfortunate, a parody musical I first enjoyed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe which is currently playing at the Other Palace Theatre, and the other was Sea Witch, a brand new musical in concert receiving its world premiere at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.

Stay tuned to find out what I thought of each show and whether either of them held water...
