Disney’s Descendants: The Musical on May 2-3  

The Granville High School Theatre Department's production of Disney’s Descendants: The Musical is coming to the stage this May. This production is based off of the Disney Channel original Descendants movies and is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). The musical follows the stories of four teenagers who happen to be children of the worst Disney villains in all the land: Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil. The story takes you on a journey from the Isle of the Lost to Auradon, where the soon-to-be king, Ben, is attempting to connect the divided lands, much to the anger of the Aurodonians. Will they be accepted in this new land, or will they return to their parents’ evil ways? Will the charming Prince Ben be able to reunite the two worlds together?
