Descendants The Musical
In The Studio Theatre’s production of Descendants The Musical, the spotlight shines brightly on Mal, daughter of Maleficent, brought to life with fierce energy and commanding presence by Blakely White. At the heart of the story, Mal leads the charge as she and her fellow “VKs”—Evie, Jay, and Carlos—leave behind the Isle of the Lost to discover a world of possibility at Auradon Prep. With her sharp wit, inner conflict, and undeniable power, Mal faces the ultimate test: will she embrace the darkness of her heritage, or carve a new path toward light and love? Blakely White’s portrayal captures Mal’s strength, vulnerability, and transformation, making her the driving force of the production.
This was a really good mixed ensemble. The adults were fabulous as always, and the kids really held their own with their characters. I was super impressed with 14-year-old Blakely White with the lead role. Her angsty persona was believable and singing was fabulous. The four "bad" kids had great chemistry and performed well together.
