This new live production featuring Disney Villains is called “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” with the “mysterious, reflective realm of the Magic Mirror” being a central part of the show. The show will feature appearances by dozens of villains, including Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent, who will take the stage in live numbers.

In the show, the Disney Villains are given the chance to tell their side of the story with the Magic Mirror summoning each one for the audience to hear them out. The Villains will “break through the glass” and take the sage to convince the audience why they are the most misunderstood. The finale will feature dozens of the most famous villains as the audience “makes the final call” on whether their version of the story got it right.

It's exciting to see how Disney has recently been leaning more confidently into the presence of Disney villains across its experiences between this new addition and the land coming to Magic Kingdom. A dedicated team for this show has spent two years developing “cutting-edge stage design, thrilling effects, and catchy live musical numbers” to celebrate these villains.
