At the heart of the magic of the Adelaide Fringe is the chance to experience shows that are joyful, surprising and full of heart, and “Villains: A Dizney in Drag Parody” delivers exactly that.

From the moment the performers hit the stage, the audience is drawn straight into a world of wicked glamour and playful mischief. With strong character work and a clearly well-written structure, the show wastes no time bringing the crowd along for the ride. The performers command the room with confidence, establishing a lively rapport that keeps the audience engaged from the very start.

What unfolds is a clever and light-hearted journey through some of the most iconic “Dizney” villains, each reimagined through the lens of drag and vaudeville-style performance. Every character arrives with their own story and personality, giving the audience plenty of nostalgic moments while also delivering plenty of laughs. The show cleverly plays with the familiar while adding its own delightfully twisted flair.

Beyond the glitz and camp humour, there is a genuinely uplifting message woven throughout the performance. Beneath the wicked costumes and playful villainy lies a thoughtful commentary about difference and belonging, reminding us that what makes us different is not something evil, but something beautiful.

It is clear from the outset that these performers love what they do. Their passion and ease on stage shine through every moment, creating an infectious energy that spreads through the crowd. The chemistry between the cast and the audience transforms the room into a celebration of performance, identity and fun.

With its strong storyline, charismatic performances and heartfelt message, Villains: A Dizney in Drag Parody proves that sometimes the “bad guys” have the best stories to tell.

A wickedly entertaining and uplifting show, this is a must-see at this year’s Fringe.
