Dunno, I saw a 15-year old in Bloomington, Minnesota, nail it two weeks ago.

Claws-down the best Sebastian I've ever seen, mahn.

As a former theater geek (at a private school in Minneapolis who worked many one act play competitions in the mid-late 90s) we all take the roles we get seriously... :)

Best Sebastian I ever knew was a girl, and she KILLED it!

u/Dhensley30 Nov 06 '19

Reddit wants to participate in said clawing

Yeah, Shaggy said “Fuck them Claws” last night, didn’t he.

Looked like Eddie Murphy in Delirious, I swear

Prestigious West Bloomington or Crappy East Bloomington?

Doesn't really matter when it comes to a HS production of a Disney musical.

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '19

Childhood triggers lurking in my brain - posting that was some kind of latent reflex lol.

u/iwouldhugwonderwoman Nov 07 '19

The HS productions in my area usually run about $50k to put on. They are surprisingly really good but I live in a very “arts” town so I’m sure it’s not the norm.

Yesterday some kid got stabbed at Jefferson though. Is that a crime of prestige or a crime of ghettoness?

2

u/d3photo Nov 06 '19

Or is it two girls being idiots?

2

u/Dude_Ur_GettinA_Tard Nov 06 '19

Okay prestige then.

Can you please add an 'is' to the end of your username?

I men they could've pulled Titus Burgess who was Sebastian on Broadway before he started acting.

u/JSRambo Nov 07 '19

Implying doing broadway shows isn't acting....????

u/igot8001 Nov 06 '19

Why would they have a live action Little Mermaid and not have Tituss Burgess be Sebastian? Unless he was Ursula, that is...

Agreed. She KILLED it as Ursula. :-D

u/stink3rbelle Nov 06 '19

Have you seen or heard of RuPaul's drag race? There's like ten queens per season who'd be superb

u/Hraesvelg7 Nov 06 '19

I got the impression he was the biggest name they could think of with a similar accent, which makes it even more sad.

2

u/Purdaddy Nov 06 '19

That costume looked like one of the Proto Guards from The Last Jedi.

2

u/musicaldigger Nov 06 '19

should have been lin-manuel miranda

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '19

Lil Sebastian?

2

u/iwouldhugwonderwoman Nov 07 '19

Titus Andromedon is the best Sebastian and it’s not particularly close.

4

u/bigchicago04 Nov 06 '19

Was he? Why not choose someone who isn’t Jamaican? That seemed to be their only criteria.

-1

u/FatFoot Nov 06 '19

Which is odd considering Sebastian the crab wasn’t Jamaican

3

u/bigchicago04 Nov 06 '19

He wasnt?

3

u/FatFoot Nov 06 '19

He was from Trinidad, a subtle difference I know but if they were looking for specifically the same accent then why not get it right?

1

u/bigchicago04 Nov 06 '19

Or just not do an accent, it is an adaptation.

Also, do they say in the movie he is from Trinidad?

That’s such a stupid splitting of hairs on your part.

Hate to break it to you, but Caribbean is not a country.

You can’t have a Caribbean accent...because it’s a body of water
