Disney has released the attraction poster for Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, offering fans a visual preview of the upcoming stage show opening this summer at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.


The artwork features the Magic Mirror at the center, surrounded by shattered glass panels that reveal glimpses of iconic Disney villains. The design reflects the show’s concept, where characters like Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, Maleficent, and others will “break through the glass” to tell their side of the story.

Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After will take place inside the Sunset Showcase theater, which is currently undergoing renovations. The show promises live musical numbers, special effects, and a villain-led finale where the audience helps decide their fate.

Set in the mysterious realm of the Magic Mirror, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After will feature iconic characters like Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent as they take the stage to argue that they’ve been misunderstood. The show will include live music, special effects, and an interactive finale where the audience helps decide the villains’ fate.

Disney officially announced that two new live entertainment productions—The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure and Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After—will both debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 27, 2025.

The exterior of RnR isn't changing much outside of the guitar. They'll likely just put up walls around that and the ride entrance and keep a path to the show.

Probably just a bypass walkway I imagine for now, they don’t really need the whole plaza right now anyway

I doubt they'd shut villains down after less than a year

Anyone know if the Villians Show is going to close around the same time RnRC closes down? The only way to get into the theater entrance is in the G-force plaza or build refurb walls get built?

Exactly what I was thinking.. Consider how many show they perform and the results per day it would be interesting to see a full tally once the show finally gets removed..

I saw the show six times on my last trip, I was trying to get all the endings, and Maleficent was picked for three of them, Hook two, and I got Cruella on my last one.

Has to be Maleficent. The in audience voting seems to be skewed however. The show I experienced for example clearly had far more cheering for Maleficent, and yet Cruella was deemed the ‘winner’. Um….yeah….. -

When this show finally ends and closes I would really like to see the tally of who had the most votes throughout the span of the show and would make them the most villainous out of them all..

What ad?

Disgruntled WaltJul 27, 2025

I saw a YouTube ad for this that made it sound like you could vote for Jafar, which isn't exactly accurate.

I would say even more so - you could put another show in there tomorrow with some quick light and video programming! (Well…. At least a month for Disney but that’s not the point! Haha)

Trying to hold onto the throne of the Candy Kingdom is a slippery proposition. Especially since half of it's a slide.

King Candy's fine, but he never gets put in the villain group so he's clearly not marketable.
