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.

    Actually you are right! Sorry for the trigger finger on this one. Looks awesome though.

    That is for the Hercules show on the Disney Adventure ship, not the new show at Studios. It looks great, though!

    Forgive me but might this be for DCL?

    It's super early but the concept and production doesn't look like a "temp show" to me. Still could transition to MK if it's super popular.

    Not sure if this has been posted but I did see this on “Dis Unlimited” on YouTube. I’m getting the feeling that Disney is going to bring it with this show. Trying to keep expectations in check though. With that said a giant 7 headed Hydra Puppet looks amazing!

    The categories of influencers can be short form and long form but typically it is more micro and macro based on how many subscriberes/followers.

    I hope official copy can get the fact that Mirror Mirror is never actually said in the Disney version. The name is Magic Mirror or Slave in The Magic Mirror. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, who is the fairest of them all?" is thought to be from our folktale versions.

    This sounds funny to me that Tiktokers are like a separate category of influencers. Their demographic is for people with short attention spans and then we have the proper Youtubers and media who creates longer and more thorough contents.

    When they add Bob Iger as the surprise fourth villain who always wins, then I'll be first in line to see this...

    Apparently there is some kind of preview of this show tonight (and TLM) for Content Creators.

    Mirror, mirror in our hand, which villain is most misunderstood in all the land? Which of the three headlining villains in Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After do you think got a bad shake? Well... I'd say the one who wasn't planning murder.* That's if they don't retcon their stories to remove the part.... about murder. *We'll need to presume no human knew that the dogs were sentient.
