There’s going to be a little extra magic this summer at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World!

“Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” brings the bad boys and girls of Disney to the stage in a brand new show you won’t be able to see anywhere else.

In the show, Disney villains such as Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent have broken through the Magic Mirror and now must compete for the audience’s vote … who has been treated the most unfairly?

Catch “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” at the newly renovated Sunset Showcase starting May 27, 2025! And you can listen to the all-new song created just for the show right here:

But wait, there’s more! “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” will also open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on the same day!

This is an all-new, fully reimagined retelling of The Little Mermaid story, featuring new puppetry and dazzling effects, as well as beloved songs from the movie.

You’ll find Ariel and her friends in Animation Courtyard multiple times per day. Be sure to check the My Disney Experience app for more details.
