Youth Theatre Carson City presents ‘Descendants: The Musical’

Youth Theatre Carson City is running eight performances of Disney’s “Descendants: The Musical.”

The performances will take place weekends January 14-23 in the Bob Boldrick Theatre at the Carson City Community Center.

Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s “Descendants: The Musical” is a brand-new musical comedy featuring all the beloved characters and hit songs from the films It is present-day, and in the Kingdom of Auradon, all of Disney’s beloved heroes and royalty are living happily ever after, safe from the terrifying villains and troublesome sidekicks they have banished to the magic-free Isle of the Lost. That is until Ben, the benevolent teenage son of Belle and King Adam (The Beast), offers a chance of redemption for the troublemaking offspring of the evilest villains. Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos - the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella DeVil, and Jafar - are welcomed to Auradon Prep to attend school with the children of their parents’ sworn enemies. Now entering a completely foreign world and way of life, the four Villain Kids have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?

Leading the cast are Carson High School students, Hannah Walker as Mal, Kylie Carrigan as Evie, Robbey Heidt as Jay and Carson Middle School student Nygel Toreson as Carlos. Also featured are Camilla Beckwith as Maleficent, Emma Cavner as The Evil Queen Grimhilde, Erich Parker as Jafar, Brookelyn McGee as Cruella DeVil, Kendall McDonald as Queen Belle, Jaymes Escobedo as King Beast, and a host of other colorful characters bringing this modern-day fairy tale to life.
