Walt Disney World filed a Notice of Commencement permit for the new Disney Villains show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After
The address on the permit is 854 Sunset Blvd DHS, the location of Sunset Showcase, where Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After will be performed. The theater is located between Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, accessible through the coaster’s courtyard.
The permit contracts InterAmerica Stage for “general construction.” InterAmerica Stage has worked with Disney several times before. They specialize in stage rigging, stage machinery, and theatrical equipment.
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After replaces Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, which closed permanently in October. Sunset Showcase also previously housed Club Villain, a separately ticketed event featuring Dr. Facilier that ran in 2016 and 2017.
Disney announced the Disney Villains show in September and revealed the name of the show in December. It’s scheduled to debut this summer.
The creative minds at Disney Live Entertainment will transform Sunset Showcase into the mysterious, reflective realm of the Magic Mirror. The show will feature appearances by dozens of the most infamous evildoers, with fiendish foes Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent each breaking through the glass to take the stage in live production numbers.
