Photos: Disney's DESCENDANTS: THE MUSICAL At Stages Theatre Company

Stages Theatre Company will present the lavishly wicked Disney’s Descendants: The Musical. See photos from the production.

Already the hottest ticket in town, it’s “A Rotten to the Core” clash between good and evil! A chance at redemption sends the trouble-making offspring of Disney’s evil villains to school with the children of their sworn enemies. Do they carry on their parents’ wicked ways, or do they learn to be good? The generational match-up features beloved characters and hit songs from the popular Disney Channel films. 

Disney's Descendants: The Musicall is recommended for families of all ages and backgrounds. The young people in the audience will love the live adaptation of their favorite movies, and the adults will enjoy a sense of nostalgia seeing the Disney characters they grew up with as children. You do not want to miss the toe-tapping, show-stopping music matched with jaw-dropping hip-hop choreography. Stages Theatre Company is thrilled to announce the revival of receiving lines at the end of the performance! Audience members can meet cast members in costume and receive autographs following each performance.  

“One of the lessons learned in Descendants is that no one is born evil. It is about choosing to love and ending the cycle of hate, even if it means encouraging growth outside of the revenge-filled goals of their parents. Descendants is a fun musical with creative characters and rocking music and dance, but at its “rotten to the core” message, it is about becoming a person that puts good out into the world without looking back or waiting to get something out of it in return. It is about thinking beyond yourself, and looking at what you do, and how it affects others.”
