So, you want to be a villain? A truly evil force in a bleak world? Well, you’ll need some help from the unholiest masters of wickedness. Featuring four of the most well-known villains from fairy tales and children’s cinema, Villains takes you through the steps to true villainy, accompanied by a soundtrack of original lyrics set over popular songs from the original films.
Bill’s story unfolds; a wannabe evil-doer whose quest is to become the evillest villain their town has ever seen. With the help of the Hairy Godmother, a highly engaging and semi glamorous character, Bill learns from the masters. Although (clearly) inspired by a world-renowned children’s entertainment company, note that this show is in no way aimed at kids: it’s filled to the brim with inuendo and mature language, and a smoky atmosphere to match the sinister mood.
Discover your maniacal laugh and find out what it really means to be a villain in the perfect evening for lovers of fairy tales who grew up to become cynical adults. Because the world is dark. Sometimes you need to be darker.
