‘Disney Villains – Unfairly Ever After’ Opens in Late May at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney announced that Disney Villains – Unfairly Ever After will open on May 27, 2025, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The attraction will open in the Sunset Showcase building, formerly home to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, which closed last Fall when the stage show was announced. Per Disney, a dedicated team has spent most of the last two years developing cutting-edge stage design for the show that will include thrilling effects for the entire audience.

The following excerpt from the Disney Parks Blog answers a few questions about the new musical adventure.
In this new show, the villains we love to loathe take center stage. To figure out who has been the most misunderstood, the Magic Mirror summons you (yes, you!) to help him decide who’s been the most unfairly treated. The likes of Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent step into the spotlight to make their case about why they’ve been treated the most unfairly over the years. Step into this mysterious realm, where Disney’s most infamous baddies finally get their chance to share their side of the story.
