Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After Auditions Are Open for Maleficent!

Hey, Disney fans and aspiring performers! Disney is gearing up for its new stage show, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, coming to Hollywood Studios this summer. The show promises to bring some of Disney’s most notorious villains to life in a captivating blend of live performances and digital effects. The big news? Disney Live Entertainment is officially holding Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After auditions for the role of Maleficent, one of the show’s star characters. If you’ve ever dreamed of embodying the Mistress of Evil herself, now’s your chance.

What Is Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After?

Set to debut at the Sunset Showcase theater, this production marks the transformation of the space previously home to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, which closed last fall. The new show will spotlight dozens of infamous Disney villains, mixing state-of-the-art digital technology with live-action performances. Expect to see fan favorites like Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent take the stage in dramatic and thrilling numbers.

The Role: Maleficent

Disney is looking for a female-identifying performer to take on this iconic role. The requirements are clear:

• Height: 5’10” to 6’1”
• Role Type: Non-singing
• Character Description: As seen in the animated classic, Maleficent is the epitome of villainy, commanding respect and fear with her powerful magic and vengeful demeanor.

The Audition Details

Actors local to Central Florida are invited to audition. Here’s the monologue Disney is asking performers to prepare:

Maleficent’s Monologue:
“Well, well….quite a glittering assemblage we have here this evening. And dressed in such festive, holiday attire. My, my, we have royalty…nobility…the gentry…and, how quaint, even the rebel! I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation to tonight’s festivities. I am sure it was merely due to some…oversight.
(More angered) Hear me when I say, you shall not get the best of me again. Remember…I am the mistress of all evil! You should be wise to never forget it!”

If you can deliver this chillingly, you might just become the next Mistress of Evil!

Why This Is Big News

Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After isn’t just another stage show—it’s a full-fledged spectacle dedicated to the dark side of Disney’s storytelling. The Sunset Showcase theater will undergo a stunning transformation into the mysterious realm of the Magic Mirror, where audiences will see villains “break through the glass” to deliver unforgettable live production numbers.

And let’s not forget the emphasis on Maleficent. Her presence signals the scale and ambition of this production, cementing it as a must-see for Disney park-goers and a dream opportunity for performers.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
