It actually looks pretty cool IMO -- but that song is still BRUTALLY corny.

Too many screens.

At least it’s visually impressive. Projection mapping is still very in on Broadway so it’s no surprise to see so much here.

Maybe it will come across as campy and work? While some villains can be silly in a sarcastic way, I’m struggling to see it with Maleficent.

It is certainly video heavy - but it is well staged. Will be interesting to see the total performer count. From the video it looks like it needs more, but we will see.

One performer at a time feels needlessly Covid era to me. Better hope the three actors you get are superb.

I am sure the performers will be top notch, they always are. I was hoping though there would be a supporting live cast in addition to the villains.

Maybe this is just filer and Villians is the weakest of the 3 Summer 2025 Shows?

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

That song is the true villain. Hoo boy.

I actually like the song, pretty catchy.

Looking forward to seeing this.

You can never have enough lip-syncing dancers!

I haven't been to interested in this shows and not a fan of the premise - maybe reality will change my view - but I will admit the staging is pretty cool

 

[jrhwdw]

Looks like Mal. has a new Outfit....

 

[Jedi14]

This honestly looks fun. I expected screens when the premise was that the villains are breaking through the glass, and the projection mapping looks pretty good.

Looks like a Muppet-Vision sized theater to me...

Hmmmmm...Interesting.

They aren’t putting muppet-vision 3D in there. LenTesta did imply a while ago that a NEW muppet show COULD go in there after villains is done, but who knows about that at this point. Show isn’t even open yet.

Muppetvision is gone gone.

Saw pretty much the entire show on TikTok after a cast preview. Here's the Cruella section of the show (the user also posted the rest of the show in chunks on their account).



There's indeed a total of 3 live performers in the show (Cruella, Hook, and Mal); several villains are also portrayed by real actors but as pre-filmed content.

I guess I was expecting a different kind of show based on the marketing; they highlighted the original song to the point that I thought this would be a musical, but it turns out that's the only original music in the show. Each villain comes out, vamps a bit while their theme song plays, and then leaves. The end of the show is a cheer off for the audience to pick their favorite, and then it just ends. No fault of the actors though, they do a hell of a job selling scraps.

So odd. I hope the new Mermaid show is better.
