I had Heidi when I went to see the musical, and I was blown away, I thought no one could top Sherie, but I like them both equally...omg, such powerful voices!
I have been WAITING for someone to put this ONLINE!!! Every time I came on youtube, I'd check to see if there was a recording of "Heidi Blickenstaff" as "Ursula"- and now there IS!!! :D Even though this is just audio- it's AMAZING! So thank you, person, for recording this!!
^^About [tos] re-opening in April for a limited run: that hasn't been confirmed, yet. It's only a rumor. And she wasn't leaving the run early, back in November she signed her contract for only January 27th through April 5th. Then, a little while after that Faith Prince signed on to replace her, but it wasn't announced until recently. I have to say, though, as much as I LOVED seeing her perform as Ursula b/c she was FIERCE, I'm kind of glad shes only having a short run in The Little Mermaid.
My rankings of Ursula: 1. Sherie Rene Scott 2. Faith Prince/ Pat Carroll 3. Heidi Blickenstaff/ Cicily Daniels 4. Emily Skinner/ Meredith Inglesby.... I have seen/ heard all the Ursulas... Sherie's always been my favorite... I either have a video or audio of each....
@Maldor20 Yes but Pat had the voice to get away with it. Why do think she was cast in a VOICE OVER role for a CARTOON? Faith Prince does not have one of those voices. She NEEDS to sing it because she's not just giving a character a voice she's bringing it to LIFE on stage and she's supposed to be SINGING in a Broadway MUSICAL. and FYI Heidi is from Fresno, the "drawl" is her character voice which she maintains and SINGS with beautifully.
Sherie can be good, I'll trade you or even give you Sherie's best performance, so that you'll be blown out by her performance that you wish Sherie still was playing Ursula! Send me a message...
I think Heidi is awesome. and I'm sorry but i don't see how anyone could put Faith Prince before anyone else. I haven't seen the show, but her performance on The VIew just wasn't good at all. She didn't even sing! She "spoke-sang". she mostly was just speaking. The only thing she sang was the last note and even that was boring, no vibrato or anything just one semi-long boring note. Sheri and Heidi are at the top of my list.
I have recently become a big fan of heidi's version of ursula. I think that she stays a bit truer to the character vocally than sheree, because of you listen close, some parts when she yells have a raspy quality or edge to them like pat caroll did! And I just love her fluctuation!
i was just looking at the casts of the major broadway shows , and i saw that sherie wasnt ursula anymore , and i like spazzed out ! i was depresssssed ! hahaha , but then i looked on youtube and i looked at this , and i think shes doing a better job then her , but i hope she comes back for when i see it :)
People just aren't use to an Ursula like Sherie's, but I don't pay attention to her acting... IT'S HER SINGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last TWO Notes, she kept both up for like, forever!!!!!!!!! Sherie is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you mean better than Sherie? Sherie 3/4 of the time is pretty amazing... I will even send you links of her performance (professionally filmed) that's gonna change your thought... And I like Pat Carroll as Ursula, I like Heidi as Ursula and Faith Prince, I believe will be good. But it's not right to judge Sherie just because her voice isn't deep... Don't underestimate her. Watch and see... I like Cicily as Ursula too...:)
Sherie's comical character evolved into a SUPER evil Ursula before she left, amazing actress.... Heidi is amazing as well, I don't think I quite agree with how her Ursula is compared to the video that I have of Sherie's Evolved Ursula.... Sherie is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so is Faith Prince!
I just saw this show like a day ago. The day before she left. She was beyond brilliant. I sat front row center. That girl can belt! I am not one to compare but I feel she was a tad bit better than Sherie. When I saw her she didn't sound like this though. She belted her face off. It was so good!
Lol. Heidi's fun. But I'm waiting for someone to come along who can capture the Ursula from the film. A thick, creepy yet charming woman with a deeper voice. Well, like me. But I've only watched the movie a hundred times since I was 6.
I'm sorry...I still can only see Pat Caroll (voice of Ursula in original movie) as the the singer. The soul in that woman's voice unfortunately overshadows this one's...
This is an abomination to the masterpiece Sheri created. Get real Heidi! I'm a dude and I'm doing the role regionally... and I have more inflection. OK maybe I've been a bit harsh lol. I just feel so strongly about this role. It's amazing. Her take on this is just not up to par (for me)

Heidi Blickenstaff is amazing! [title of show] is beautiful!!!! and so is she and i love her!!!
I. love. this.
Sherie and Heidi’s Ursular are so different. That they arent really comparable.
I had Heidi when I went to see the musical, and I was blown away, I thought no one could top Sherie, but I like them both equally...omg, such powerful voices!
OMG, she is like perfect!

2. Faith Prince/ Pat Carroll
3. Heidi Blickenstaff/ Cicily Daniels
4. Emily Skinner/ Meredith Inglesby....
I have seen/ heard all the Ursulas... Sherie's always been my favorite... I either have a video or audio of each....
i just saw this on thursday (aka feb 19... aka the day after heidiseawitch uploaded this [= )
@theatregeek208 Oh completely Sheri was PHENOMENAL and the only person who did a great job after her was Heidi.
@Maldor20 Yes but Pat had the voice to get away with it. Why do think she was cast in a VOICE OVER role for a CARTOON? Faith Prince does not have one of those voices. She NEEDS to sing it because she's not just giving a character a voice she's bringing it to LIFE on stage and she's supposed to be SINGING in a Broadway MUSICAL. and FYI Heidi is from Fresno, the "drawl" is her character voice which she maintains and SINGS with beautifully.
Legit! I am a hardcore Heidi fan now!!
Heidi and Cicily won me over.
Sherie can be good, I'll trade you or even give you Sherie's best performance, so that you'll be blown out by her performance that you wish Sherie still was playing Ursula! Send me a message...
My favorite Ursulas are Heidi Blickenstaff and Sherie Rene Scott!!! Both of them are my favorite Ursulas!!!!!!!
I think Heidi is awesome. and I'm sorry but i don't see how anyone could put Faith Prince before anyone else. I haven't seen the show, but her performance on The VIew just wasn't good at all.

ive been waiting too!! im seeing her as ursula soon.
I like Her Ursula because she puts some comedy in it, but not too much!
lucky! Unfortunately for me, I'm on the opposite side of the US. :( So I can only rely on great people's recordings. ;-)
Heidi owns everything she does. I love Sherie, but I adore Heidi.
I have recently become a big fan of heidi's version of ursula. I think that she stays a bit truer to the character vocally than sheree, because of you listen close, some parts when she yells have a raspy quality or edge to them like pat caroll did! And I just love her fluctuation!

Wait...what's happening with [tos]?
I lvoe Sherie. She is my favorite, but Heidi is deffinately my 2nd!
Sherie's comical character evolved into a SUPER evil Ursula before she left, amazing actress.... Heidi is amazing as well, I don't think I quite agree with how her Ursula is compared to the video that I have of Sherie's Evolved Ursula.... Sherie is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so is Faith Prince!
shes my fav ursula^^
that costume look like morgana
@theatregeek208 Faith was a TOTAL miss-cast. And possibly part of the reason why the show sunk. Pun intended.
@AbeVonThrash OMG IKR.
I just saw this show like a day ago. The day before she left. She was beyond brilliant. I sat front row center. That girl can belt! I am not one to compare but I feel she was a tad bit better than Sherie. When I saw her she didn't sound like this though. She belted her face off. It was so good!
shes amazing but i seriously can't even compare her to Sherie Rene Scott
Lol. Heidi's fun. But I'm waiting for someone to come along who can capture the Ursula from the film. A thick, creepy yet charming woman with a deeper voice. Well, like me. But I've only watched the movie a hundred times since I was 6.

idk she seems too nice for this part
Heidi Blickenstaff Ursula
She sounds like Ethel Merman at times.
Is that Chelsea Morgan Stock as Ariel
ohh that stinks :(
its convenient to live an hour and a half away from the city
Who's Ariel in this?
Heidi is too best, but i prefer SHERIE RENE! shes the master.. URSULA :D
I like her better
hey they got a black woman for a while, not a fat one, but a black woman, best Ursula ive seen though
I like Heidi and Sherie... Faith was my least favorite... She just wasn't right for Ursula, in my opinion.
you didn't record? i hear laughing in the background. =l
i still like sherie renee scott better though :)
This is an abomination to the masterpiece Sheri created. Get real Heidi! I'm a dude and I'm doing the role regionally... and I have more inflection. OK maybe I've been a bit harsh lol. I just feel so strongly about this role. It's amazing. Her take on this is just not up to par (for me)
Ursula should play by drag queen not high voice.
