Found a call on the audition website for Dr. Facilier, his club manager and dancers for a new show at DHS.

Disney Parks Talent casting is seeking Male Comedic/Improv Actors and Male Actors Who Sing for a new Disney Villains inspired entertainment offering at the Walt Disney World®Resort near Orlando, FL.

Well, looks like the rumors of a Villain show are true. Question now is: Why just Facilier? Is everyone else cast? Will he be the only villain?

Definitely excited for this. DHS is in need of a new stage show, their current ones have ran for far too long..

I posted about this a little while back. We can't be too far away from an official announcement from Disney now.

From what I've heard, the show is going to be very exciting. Can't wait.

Yes. Popular rumor is that it will replace BatB.

Edit: @Chef Kronk with the scoop on this last month.

This is exciting and I look forward to it.

I wonder if there is any word on the possible daytime show in the Fantasmic theater. Or if Mermaid will be getting any sort of replacement (vs being demolished for Toy Story Land)

I haven't heard anything in over a month about the daytime show at HHA. Hopefully it'll still happen.

They need to find a Facillier that can sing.

Pretty pumped for this!

Is it going to be like Villains Unleashed and the Oogie Boogie show?

When should we expect this to be open? Late 2015 or 2016?

I don't like that it says "hip hop background". There was no hip hop in the princess and the frog and they don't need to start now.

Are we sure it's for a villain show and not one that's strictly themed to Princess and the Frog?

I'm fairly confident.

The audition notice specifically says "New Villains Offering at Disney Hollywood Studios"

That's what I get for not reading the whole thing.

All good. It's a worthwhile question given this company....
