Walt Disney World has released more details about the new villains show slotted to arrive at Disney’s Hollywood Studios next month, including a new song performed by the Magic Mirror, the “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” character that served as the “fairest of them all” barometer.

“Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” debuts May 27 at the theme park.

“This show is ground-breaking in that the Magic Mirror does more than just talk. He’s actually going to have a song of his very own,” Doug Morris, music producer, said during a promotional video posted on the official Disney Parks Blog on Thursday morning.

The footage includes studios musicians in a recording session and sample, reflective lyric of “what you see is what you get.”

“It’s a little bit rock and roll. a little bit of orchestra and classic gothic score. It is just fun from start to finish,” said conductor Roger Butterley.

Disney shows three on-stage characters who are backlit amid color-coordinated fog effects: Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil and Maleficent. There will be glimpses of other infamous characters, Disney has said.

“We wanted to tell a story that’s a little bit different than what’s been told before. Which one of them has been treated the most unfairly ever after,” show director Mark Renfrow said.

The new villains show will be staged at Sunset Showcase, the building near Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster that housed “Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy” until October 2024.  The space has a new stage and theater seating, replacing the benches used for the Lightning McQueen show, which featured animatronics and video.

The debut of “Unfairly Ever After” coincides with the first showings of “The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure” near Hollywood Studios’ Animation Courtyard.

The show is part of a villains wave for the company. The Disney Destiny cruise ship, which debuts in November, carries a heroes and villains theme, and a complete villains land has been announced for Magic Kingdom theme park.
