Thank You 5 Productions presents Disney’s Descendants: The Musical Nov. 20-29 at the Kelsey Theatre on Mercer County Community College’s West Windsor Campus.
Descendants: The Musical, based on the popular Disney Channel original movies, follows the exploits of the teenage children of some of Disney’s most infamous villains. As they leave the Isle of the Lost for the first time to attend school in the kingdom of Auradon, friendships form and loyalties are tested when these next-generation heroes and villains must decide who they want to be—and whether they will follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or forge a new future.
With songs like “Rotten to the Core” and “Ways to Be Wicked,” fans of the movies and newcomers alike will be singing along and cheering for their favorite characters—beloved and wicked alike. Descendants promises to be a thrilling theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.
