SYNOPSIS

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?

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

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.

Coach
Tourney coach, resigned to the team’s mediocrity until meeting a surprise star player.

Snow White
Red carpet reporter. She is the voice of the masses.

Ensemble
Roles include:

• Isle Ensemble (including Smitten Kids 1 & 2),
• Auradonians (including Auradonians 1 & 2),
• Coronation Crowd (including Crowd Members 1, 2 & 3),
• Auradonian Choir

Ensemble members are extremely important to the energy and storytelling of this show.
