As if enough changes aren’t already on tap, word has gotten out that a new Disney Villains show of some kind will be coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. That’s awesome, but does it mean that an old-time favorite show is being replaced?
It is indeed true that a “New Villains Offering at Disney’s Hollywood Studios” is coming, but there is no date as to when or even what it will be exactly. All that is known at this time is that auditions are happening for different roles near the end of September.
Some have started saying that this new show will replace the Beauty and the Beast Stage Show, but that is totally NOT confirmed.
What is known is that Disney is looking for roles such as this:
Dr. Facilier – Male, 20s – 30s, 5’11” and above. A master of magic and voodoo. Charismatic baritone with pizazz. Sings “Friends On The Other Side.”
Comedic Male Actor– Inventive actor with a strong sense of comedic wit and timing. Portrays the club manager of Dr. Facilier’s Lounge. Well-polished with a bit of flair.
Female Dancers – Seeking versatile and exciting female dancers 5’2” and above. Must have excellent technique and a strong hip hop background. Acting ability a plus.
These auditions for the new Disney Villains’ offering at DHS are late into September so it may be a little late for them to start it in time for the Halloween season.
If a new show is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Beauty and the Beast or anything else is being replaced. There is the Premier Theater (where the Frozen Sing-Along used to be), but that may soon be taken over when Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land start building up.
Now, there is a “Flex Theater” being built between Rock N’ Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror…this is confirmed. What Disney is using that theater for is another question and has not yet been announced.
Either way, some kind of new Disney Villains show or offering is in the works for Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and it’s going to be interesting to see what it is and where it goes.
