MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Rebel Wilson cast a spell with her awesome and pitch-perfect turn as Ursula in The Little Mermaid Live at the Hollywood Bowl last Friday and Saturday, June 3 and 4.

Backed by a full orchestra, Rebel owns the sea witch's character from the 1989 Disney animated film. With gusto, she delivers a rousing rendition of "Poor Unfortunate Souls," with Sara Bareilles joining her as Ariel. 

Some of the famous people in the cast included Darren Criss (Glee) as Prince Eric and John Stamos as Chef Louis.

After their final evening, Rebel tweeted, "Thank you so much to all the fans who came out to see The Little Mermaid in Concert last night."
