Synopsis
Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney's Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical comedy featuring the beloved characters and hit songs from the films!
It is present-day, and in the kingdom of Auradon, all of Disney’s beloved heroes and royalty are living happily ever after, safe from the terrifying villains and troublesome sidekicks they have banished to the magic-free Isle of the Lost. That is until Ben, the benevolent teenage son of Belle and King Adam (The Beast), offers a chance of redemption for the troublemaking offspring of the evilest villains. Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos – the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella De Vil, and Jafar – are welcomed to Auradon Prep to attend school with the children of their parents’ sworn enemies. Now entering a completely foreign world and way of life, the four Villain Kids have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?
Casting
Character Breakdown
Our hero and Maleficent’s daughter. Under her hardened, sarcastic exterior, she has a sense of justice and a heart of gold.
The Evil Queen Grimhilde’s daughter. She hides her brilliance behind a superficial, image-obsessed attitude.
Jafar’s son—an outwardly arrogant thief. He conceals a strategic, collaborative nature.
Cruella de Vil’s son. Despite a fear of dogs and just about everything else, he has the capacity to be brave and kind.
The infamous evil fairy. She is a profoundly selfish absentee parent with an unquenchable taste for vengeance.
Snow White’s wicked adversary. An aging beauty queen, she is still desperate to be the fairest of them all.
Aladdin’s nemesis. He is a slimy, washed-up crime lord desperate for a way back to the top.
A Dalmatian-loving dog-snatcher. She is an obsessive, eccentric, and overbearing helicopter mom
Son of the Beast and Belle. He is a classically regal, optimistic kid who bears the weight of soon becoming King of Auradon.
Ben’s father and King of Auradon. Royal and rule-driven, he knows a bit about being marginalized.
Ben’s mother and Queen of Auradon. Warm, but cautious, she doesn’t understand her son’s generation.
Headmistress of Auradon Prep. Busy and bubbly, she’ll do anything to keep the school afloat.
Fairy Godmother’s daughter. Meek and mousy, but hungry for attention, she’s looking for her moment to shine.
Cinderella and Prince Charming’s son. An arrogant and spoiled blockhead, he’s never wanted for anything.
Sleeping Beauty’s daughter. The malicious queen bee of Auradon Prep, she has her eye on the throne.
Dopey’s son. Nerdy and sweet, he does all the work that his fellow students don’t want to do.
Auradonian messenger, enormously nervous.
Museum employee, less than vigilant.
Chemistry teacher and Belle’s father. He is kooky and stuck in his ways.
Gender: Male
