Two brand-new productions are set to take the stage at Hollywood Studios in the Summer of 2025.

Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After – This all-new villains-themed show will immerse guests in the mysterious realm of the Magic Mirror, where characters like Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent will take center stage to tell their side of the story. In a dramatic, music-filled performance, they'll try to convince the audience that they've been misunderstood all along, with a wickedly fun finale that puts the final verdict in the hands of the guests.

The Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure – Marking the return of The Little Mermaid to Disney's Hollywood Studios, this updated stage show will bring the beloved animated film to life with brand-new sets, effects, and a fresh take on Ariel's undersea journey.

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)
