Roles for ages 10 and up.

November 9th & 12th

Auditions

Based on the Disney Channel original movie, Disney’s Descendants the Musical brings the heroes and villains you know and love live to the stage! While the fairytale royalty reside happily in the Kingdom of Auradon, the iconic villains are banished to the wretched Isle of the Lost. Twenty years later, a new official decree is announced: the children of Maleficent, Cruella de Vil, Jafar, and the Evil Queen are invited to attend Auradon Prep School because the future generation should not be punished for the past. The new generation gets to determine whether someone is born evil or if they have wickedness thrust upon them.

We are committed to casting youth and adults ages 10 and up that will reflect the people of our community. Auradon and the Isle of the Lost are diverse communities with inhabitants of all races, ages, abilities, body types, and gender identities and we will cast the production as such. 

Learn all about the story, our vision, and the auditions for Disney’s Descendants the Musical by attending our audition info meeting on November 2nd, 6-7PM via Zoom.

What to Prepare for Auditions

Auditions provide an opportunity for you to showcase your theatre interests and talents. We want to get to know you and see you succeed! The audition for Disney’s Descendants the Musical will have three parts to it: singing, dancing, and a lip sync. Please read on for more information about how to prepare. And remember to have fun!

Please indicate any special talents on your audition form including but not limited to formal dance training, gymnastic skills, or musical instrument proficiencies.

1) Please prepare a MUSIC SELECTION.

Please prepare a song from the list below that best showcases your voice and demonstrates a connection to the character that you are auditioning for. Click on the links below for the sheet music. Please be prepared to sing along with accompaniment tracks. 

2) Please be prepared to LIP-SYNC.

A good lip-sync is either meant to showcase the performer’s acting skills or dancing skills. While you will have the chance to sing and dance, the lip-sync portion of this audition is an opportunity for you to showcase your energy and acting skills! Have fun with this!  We are looking to see how you can commit. Make it funny, make it serious, make us cry… Just make an impression!

Pick one of the song options from the MUSIC SELECTIONS portion of the audition. You may either choose to do the same song as your singing audition or select a different song. Full tracks are below, but you only need to prepare the portion of the first part of the song (same section as the MUSIC SELECTION cutting).

  • “Chillin’ Like a Villain” track (top of song through measure 31)
  • “Better Together” track (top of song through measure 13)

3) Please come ready to dance! You do not need to prepare ahead of time as our choreographers will teach at the audition. Please dress for movement, wearing clothing and shoes that allow you to comfortably and safely move (dance shoes are not needed).
