Disney’s Descendants, the musical

Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical jam-packed with comedy, adventure, Disney characters, and hit songs from the films!  Imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost – home of the most infamous villains who ever lived – the teenaged children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil have never ventured off the island… until now. When the four troublemakers are sent to attend prep school alongside the children of beloved Disney heroes, they have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?

Mal: Our hero and Maleficent’s daughter. Under her hardened, sarcastic exterior, she has a sense of justice and a heart of gold.

Evie: The Evil Queen Grimhilde’s daughter. She hides her brilliance behind a superficial, image-obsessed attitude.

Jay: Jafar’s son—an outwardly arrogant thief. He conceals a strategic, collaborative nature.

Carlos: Cruella de Vil’s son. Despite a fear of dogs and just about everything else, he has the capacity to be brave and kind.

Maleficent: The infamous evil fairy. She is a profoundly selfish absentee parent with an unquenchable taste for vengeance.

Grimhilde: Snow White’s wicked adversary. An aging beauty queen, she is still desperate to be the fairest of them all.

Jafar: Aladdin’s nemesis. He is a slimy, washed-up crime lord desperate for a way back to the top.

Cruella de Vil: A Dalmatian-loving dog-snatcher. She is an obsessive, eccentric, and overbearing helicopter mom

Ben: Son of the Beast and Belle. He is a classically regal, optimistic kid who bears the weight of soon becoming King of Auradon.

King Beast:  Ben’s father and King of Auradon. Royal and rule-driven, he knows a bit about being marginalized.

Queen Belle: Ben’s mother and Queen of Auradon. Warm, but cautious, she doesn’t understand her son’s generation.

Fairy Godmother: Headmistress of Auradon Prep. Busy and bubbly, she’ll do anything to keep the school afloat.

Jane: Fairy Godmother’s daughter. Meek and mousy, but hungry for attention, she’s looking for her moment to shine.

Chad: Cinderella and Prince Charming’s son. An arrogant and spoiled blockhead, he’s never wanted for anything.

Audrey: Sleeping Beauty’s daughter. The malicious queen bee of Auradon Prep, she has her eye on the throne.

Doug: Dopey’s son. Nerdy and sweet, he does all the work that his fellow students don’t want to do.

Royal Page: Auradonian messenger, enormously nervous.

Royal Guard: Museum employee, less than vigilant.

Maurice: Chemistry teacher and Belle’s father. He is kooky and stuck in his ways.

Ensemble: Isle Ensemble, Auradonians, Coronation Crowd, Auradonian Choir
