Ursuline College Chatham is bringing the magic of Disney to the stage with Disney’s Descendants: The Musical, running April 9-12 at 7 p.m. With tickets selling fast, this high-energy production promises an unforgettable experience packed with comedy, adventure, and hit songs from the beloved Disney Channel Original Movies.
Set in a world where the children of Disney’s most notorious villains—Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella de Vil—struggle to carve out their own destiny, Descendants is a story of choice, friendship, and redemption. As the troublemaking teens are sent to Auradon Prep alongside the children of Disney’s greatest heroes, they must decide whether to follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or embrace their own path.
For Grade 12 student Francesca (Frankie) Foex, who plays Mal, joining the cast has been an incredible journey. “The best part of this show has been the environment and spirit our cast, crew, and musicians have co-created,” she said. “This team has far surpassed my expectations!” Grade 10 student Charlie Taylor, who plays Carlos, is equally enthusiastic about the production. “The characters are phenomenal. People have built them up with such skill—it’s incredible,” he said. “And the way we have all come together to embody this story… it’s going to be a fantastic show!”
Director and UCC teacher Rosanna Magliaro praises the students’ dedication and the strong sense of community the production has fostered. “The students are incredibly engaged, committed, and supportive of each other. It’s been such a joy to come together and create this theatre family,” she said. She also highlighted the months of hard work leading up to opening night. “The show is high-energy, fun, and full of talent—our students truly deserve a full house!”
