WEST ORANGE, NJ - This year's production of "The Descendants" at Liberty Middle School is a must-see for Disney-loving fans of all ages. This contemporary take on uniting the heroes and villains of Disney lore is full of catchy tunes, enthusiastic choreography and positivity.

According to the Descendants Wiki Fandom page," 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. Mai, Evie, Jay, and Carlos – the children of Maleficent the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil, 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? 

Director Lissette Villalobos and chorus teacher Alexa Tammone bring out the best in the actors, with intricate vocal harmonies and en pointe performances. From the leads to the hard-working and multi-talented ensemble cast, to the stage crew, the show flows seamlessly from one scene to the next.

 Remaining performances will be held May 11-12 in the auditorium at One Kelly Drive, beginning at 7:00 pm. Tickets are available online at lms.booktix.com at $10 for adults and $6 for senior citizens and students. Tickets at the door are $15. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the Susan Zaccaro Leadership Fund, a scholarship given to a graduating West Orange High School student that attended Liberty Middle School.
