The people have spoken….and the name on their lips is Tituss Burgess.
Full story below…
Tituss is the Ursula we need and deserve.

Disney is preparing a live adaptation of the ‘Little Mermaid’ story and is said to be in talks with fantastic Melissa McCarthy as they hope she will sign on to portray the sea witch Ursula.
The only trouble? Fans believe Titus is the man for the job.
Titus Burgess for Ursula or NO ONE https://t.co/t6AjsYfZlF

Is there a good reason why Melissa McCarthy is playing Ursula and not Tituss Burgess? If you haven’t heard this man sing ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’, you need to because there truly is no other person more perfect for the role https://t.co/IWorXf6Web

Why would you consider anyone other than Tituss for the role of Ursula in The Little Mermaid? Are all the magical musical things broken?

Fans hope their calls will encourage the movie’s makers to look Tituss’ way and give him the role many believe he is more than prepared to take on.
Y’all messed up. Melissa is great and we all love her but Tituss Burgess IS Ursula! He would have made an EPIC Ursula! Say it’s not to late! pic.twitter.com/AyNGcnR7iX

I gave not a single, solitary damn about this project until you put the thought of Tituss Burgess as Ursula in my head. Now it feels like I lost something I never had. pic.twitter.com/JoF27L7FCa

I can’t see Disney casting a black gay man in the role of Ursula. After all Disney is marketed toward children and they are always saying the gay character is someone who’s in the background just like in beauty and the beast the guy who loved Gaston. I mean the guy who played Gaston Luke Evans is gay in real life but he’s masculine so he was easy to market. Ursula is actually inspired by a drag queen Divine. Divine actually played the mother in the original Hairspray movie with ricki lake and died 8 days before or after the premiere. I would love to see titus as Ursula and Zendaya as the little mermaid. That would be a major box office success. Look at black panther. I don’t wanna see another Disney princess who is white or see Melissa McCarthy play an iconic character such as divine… oops I mean Ursula. Melissa doesn’t have the vocal chops and she wouldn’t do the character justice. Disney needs to take more risks and stop playing it safe.
Ashy old h**
That not a bad idea! I wouldn’t mind seeing Mo’nique in the role either
Best idea I’ve ever heard
If anything Meryl Streep play Ursula
Yassss! Disney vision of the devil wears Prada!
Considering Ursula IS MODELED AFTER A LEGENDARY DRAG QUEEN, it sucks that Disney wouldn’t entertain this. They’re taking from that culture/scene and not giving back to it when it counts. This is the best opportunity they have to break that ceiling because anyone with eyes can see Ursula is a whoooole DRAAAAAG and I’m here fore her!! I love Melissa, but no… not this one… make her Flounder or sum
that is honestly the best idea anyones ever suggested
Yes Tituss should play Ursula!!! Give it to him!!!
Titus as Ursela or BUST
Am I the only person aware that he played Sebastian on Broadway? THAT is who he should play.
Please tell me where I can go sign the petition for Titus to play Ursula. Im sorry but there is no else who can truly bring life into her character
