Mickey-Jo saw BOTH of the Little Mermaid prequel musicals | REVIEWS of UNFORTUNATE ★★★★ and SEA WITCH ★★

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 Mickey-Jo 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 Mickey-Jo thought of each show and whether either of them held water...
