Under the Sea and Villains Take Center Stage: New Shows Coming to Hollywood Studios in Spring 2025
Big news for Hollywood Studios lovers! Get ready for not one but TWO brand new live shows hitting the stage on May 27 2025. That's right Memorial Day weekend is going to be extra magical.
First up get ready to go "Under the Sea" with " The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure"! This is a completely reimagined version of the classic Little Mermaid story playing in a newly refreshed theater in Animation Courtyard. Expect bold new sets updated special effects and all the songs you adore like "Part of Your World" "Poor Unfortunate Souls" and "Kiss the Girl". They are even adding songs that were not in the previous show like "Daughters of Triton". It is replacing Voyage of the Little Mermaid which closed back in 2020 so get ready for a fresh and fin-tastic experience!
But wait there's more! Over at the Sunset Showcase Theater prepare for " Disney Villains : Unfairly Ever After"! This brand new musical stars Hades himself gathering a crew of iconic Disney baddies to rewrite their stories. Think Captain Hook Maleficent Cruella de Vil and more all trying to convince you they were treated unfairly. Sounds like a wickedly good time right? This show is set to be a permanent offering so you can enjoy villainous fun all year round. It is taking over from Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy which closed earlier in 2024.
These two shows are a huge addition to Hollywood Studios entertainment lineup and are perfectly timed to debut right before summer break kicks off. Expect these to be major draws for park visitors!
