There may not be anything more dastardly than a Disney Villainess, or at least that's what we thought until these Disney bad girls show that they may be a bit misguided. The likes of Cruella DeVille, Ursula and the upcoming movie star Maleficent sang their hearts out as they pleaded their case as possible heroes as well.
These Disney Villainesses are bad to the bone, but what if the Evil Queen was trying to save Sleeping Beauty for her one true love because, as she put it, "she was living with seven men." DeVille was simply a slave to fashion and Ursula was a feminist crusader, at least that's what they'd have us think in this musical.
