FOE Characters

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is casting for an all-new Disney Villains stage show, and auditions are open now for performers ready to embody the most infamous Disney characters! Disney Live Entertainment is accepting online audition submissions for a chance to bring Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent to life in a brand-new production that promises to transform Sunset Showcase into the haunting realm of the Magic Mirror. This thrilling new show will take over the former Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy space, inviting audiences into a world where villains rule the stage.

How to Audition:

Actors interested in these iconic roles can submit their audition videos online, with submissions open until 11:30 PM EST on November 15, 2024. To apply, here’s what you need to know:


  1. Prepare Your Performance: Create or update your Performer Profile, upload an unlisted YouTube link of your audition video, and choose one of the monologues provided for the character you’re auditioning for. If auditioning for Captain Hook, prepare an additional 16-bar cut of an up-tempo song in the classic villain genre. Cruella and Maleficent actors are also encouraged to showcase their musicality, though it’s not required.
  2. Complete the Check-In: After submitting your video, head to Checkin.DisneyAuditions.com, where you’ll confirm your submission with a selfie and finalize your application.

The characters call for performers with strong vocal and acting skills, with Captain Hook specifically requiring musical theater movement ability. Disney is looking for actors who can capture each villain’s unique personality—whether it’s Cruella’s flair for fashion, Hook’s blend of pride and cowardice, or Maleficent’s commanding, sinister grace.

For those selected, in-person callbacks will be held in January 2025, with dates set in New York, Orlando, and Atlanta. Disney seeks actors 18 years or older, and employed performers will have the opportunity to join Actors’ Equity Association.

This new show promises a captivating twist on Disney magic, bringing audiences into the world of villains like never before. With the stage set in the eerie, reflective realm of the Magic Mirror, guests will watch as Cruella, Hook, and Maleficent shatter expectations in dazzling production numbers.
