Disney's Descendants: The Musical

Dive into the vibrant and mischievous world of "Descendants," where the children of infamous Disney villains embark on their own spellbinding adventure! This dazzling musical unfolds in the idyllic kingdom of Auradon, where the offspring of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil receive an unprecedented chance at redemption. Challenged to attend Auradon Prep, these Villain Kids face a daunting choice: follow in their parents' nefarious footsteps or forge a new path and prove everyone deserves a second chance.

As they navigate the trials of high school, friendships, and budding romances, "Descendants" delivers show-stopping numbers and an electrifying story about identity, acceptance, and the power of choice. With a dynamic score that blends pop and rock, and a book that captures the heart and humor of the beloved film, this production is a celebration of youth and the transformative power of kindness.

Join us for a magical journey where the lines between 'good' and 'evil' blur, and a new era of heroes emerges from the shadows of their villainous lineage!
