VIDEO: Queen Latifah Talks Becoming Ursula for THE LITTLE MERMAID LIVE!

Queen Latifah, who is set to play Ursula in the upcoming live musical event The Little Mermaid Live! on ABC, sits down with GOOD MORNING AMERICA to talk about becoming the infamous sea witch!

"I had done a photoshoot for Disney a few years back where Annie Leibowitz shot me as Ursula," Queen Latifah told GMA, "So when this popped up, it was like, OK, a TV production. Alright ... Once they explained to me the way that they wanted to do it, I thought it was interesting."

Latifah goes on to explain how this production will be different, saying, "They're going to literally show the movie in front of a live audience of at least 500 people. And then when it comes to musical performances, it's going to cut to the live performance of those songs and then it'll go back into the movie and the audience will take part in it and be participants in the actual performance of it. They'll be under the sea with us."
