The malevolent world of the Disney villains takes a comical spin in Villains Tonight!, a musical spectacular premiering in March 2010 aboard the Disney Magic. Take a look behind the scenes and get a sneak peak at the new stage show.The malevolent world of the Disney villains takes a comical spin in "Villains Tonight!," a musical show that Disney Cruise Line is premiering in spring 2010. The revue will debut during the March 27 voyage aboard the Disney Magic and will entertain guests aboard the new Disney Dream cruise ship in early 2011.

"Villains Tonight!" is the first full-scale musical production dedicated to the Disney villains.
The show begins as Hades and his faithful sidekicks, Pain and Panic ("Hercules"), welcome new souls (the audience) to the Underworld. But instead of a frightening realm, guests will discover that Hades has turned the Underworld into an upbeat and happier place. The fun comes to a halt when The Fates arrive and predict that Hades will lose his position as Lord of the Underworld if he doesn't ramp up the evil factor.

Worried by the news, Hades checks his Evil-O-Meter and discovers it is running dangerously low. So he comes up with a plan: He'll conjure up the very best of the worst - the most powerful Disney villains - to help him replenish the world of evil. What ensues is a comical journey as Hades, Pain and Panic embark on a quest filled with wacky antics.

"Villains Tonight!" features a "Who's Who" of the Disney villains, including Disney's newest crook, Dr. Facilier from "The Princess and the Frog." The show also features classic divas and scoundrels like Ursula ("The Little Mermaid"), the Evil Queen ("Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"), Captain Hook ("Peter Pan") and Scar ("The Lion King").

The show's scenery takes guests on a dazzling journey through many villainous worlds, from the deck of Captain Hook's ship to Scar's Elephant Graveyard to Ursula's Undersea Lounge.

"Villains Tonight!" features irreverent versions of classic Disney villain tunes including a dance club version of "Cruella De Vil" ("101 Dalmatians"), a Copacabana-inspired take of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" ("The Little Mermaid") and an electrifying version of "Friends on the Other Side," from Walt Disney Pictures' newest animated feature, "The Princess and the Frog."
"Villains Tonight!" joins the lineup of shipboard stage musicals as the Disney Magic gets ready to embark on an unprecedented five-month season of Mediterranean and Northern European cruises. Departing from Barcelona, Spain, Mediterranean cruises go from April 24 to May 26 and Aug. 7 to Sept. 8, visiting ports in Italy, France and North Africa. Departing out of Dover, England, the Northern European cruises will sail from June 12 to July 18, visiting St. Petersburg, Oslo, Copenhagen and other ports.
