(ALL STUDENTS charge in from three different locations, filling audience, greeting one another with hugs and high fives. They wear blue shirts made to look like uniforms, cut at unusual angles. Many wear fanciful hats, scarves, crowns, gloves, skirts, tutus, or capes. Some wear backpacks. These are the offspring of the Disney characters we know so well returning to school after summer break) STUDENTS: Ever ever after 6 RENAISSANCE PTA: Though the world will tell you it's not smart STUDENTS: Ever ever after PTA: The world can be yours if you let your heart Believe in ever after BELLE: No wonder your heart feels it's flying!

In the wrong hands, this wand could spell destruction! POLLY: And I thought it just made pretty dresses! JANE (pointing up): Mother, look! A huge black raven!

(ALL gasp!) 10 RENAISSANCE JANE: The Isle of the Lost? But that’s where all the evil villains live! (ALL STUDENTS begin to panic. In the chaos, ALL STUDENTS relocate from the front steps to their line spots on stage, freeing when FG calls out...) FG: QUIET! Wherever these four mystery students come from, they are your classmates. I’m sure these new students are kind, loving, trustworthy, and completely good-- SCENE FOUR - “Rotten To The Core” DESCENDANTS (from off stage): Did somebody say “good”? BAD IS THE NEW GOOD! (THUNDER SOUND EFFECT! The DESCENDANTS enter, taking center stage and striking their signature poses! MUSIC IN - “Rotten to the Core”. As rhythm catches, MAL, EVIE, JAY, and CARLOS snatch microphones, and stomp through the dirt down front, getting close to audience members. They wear spikes, boots, leather and denim, and sport wild and vividly colored hairstyles. In short, they are not to be fooled with) MAL: They say I'm trouble They say I'm bad They say I'm evil And that makes me glad 11 RENAISSANCE JAY: A dirty no-good Down to the bone Your worst nightmare Can't take me home EVIE: So I've got some mischief In my blood Can you blame me? I never got no love CARLOS: They think I'm callous A low-life hood I feel so useless FULL COMPANY: Misunderstood! (The DESCENDANTS have reached Front Center Steps.

I'm nothing like the kid next—like the kid next door I'm rotten to the... I'm rotten to the... I'm rotten to the core! (Short percussion bit.

We entrance. Everybody start to dance! (The DESCENDANTS dance in revil or violate property, STUDENTS dance in fear, breaking away from their four clumps under MAL’s spell, until the magic wears off and they all sing...) ALL STUDENTS: They’re rotten to the core, core Rotten to the core! They’re rotten to the core, core Who could ask for more? They’re nothing like the kid next—like the kid next door They’re rotten to the core, they’re rotten to the core, They’re rotten to the core!
