Hey Descendants fans, did you know that the franchise has a stage musical adaption? I wasn't until today! But this production is actually really cool, creatively adapting plot points and remixing songs from all over the franchise. There's so much earnest passion bringing it to life. It has the charm of the first movie that endeared us to this stupid franchise despite itself. And the immense added charm of being not a Disney Studios production designed to make money by copying Ever After High with worse writing, but instead an independent project by people just like us who also love this stupid franchise and put in the work and care to make their rewrite fanfic a LIVE MUSICAL. I'd say that it has better writing and costume design than the movies do at times. (Looking at you, Descendants 3).

#mal and ben legitimately have better chemistry here i think #'if only' is a duet!!! they don't have any duets in the films what the heck?#doug and evie are very sweet without the stalking stuff #carlos tragically does not get a dog for time and logistical reasons of it being live theatre i guess #but he's played so well and he and jay get a tourney song and nice teamwork arc #maleficent is FANTASTIC no notes #i do not like how harsh the fairy godmother is sometimes #but that's actually the crux of jane's arc so it works in the end #did i mention the costumes? mal's briar choker and patterns! jay's asymmetrical leggings! carlos's shirt and jacket prints!#maleficent's dragon frill collar! audrey's 'pink! no blue!' dress! ben's fancy waistcoat with gold thread at the start!#the fairy godmother's wand glows!#this is just a fun time. watch it if you like descendants #descendants #disney descendants #descendants musical #descendants the musical #Youtube
