Exclusive Interview: Elise Enerson of Tread the Boards ‘Disney’s Descendants’
We all love a twisted tale, right? Stories like Wicked, which tell the events leading to The Wizard of Oz through the lens of the Wicked Witch of the West’s experiences. There’s something so magical to see a story that you’ve known your entire life differently, especially if we’re gaining perspective from the supposed villain of the story. However, what if, instead of looking through a classic villain’s eyes, we see the world through their children’s eyes? Disney’s Descendants has been a powerhouse franchise, a movie series that has spawned a plethora of other media, including a stage production! Tread the Boards is bringing Descendants to its stage, and we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Maleficent herself, Elise Enerson, about this production!
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Enerson talks about what it’s like to return to Tread the Boards for this production and why Disney’s Descendants is so much fun to be a part of. This actress discusses what it’s like to star in this musical again, this time in a different role, and how her experiences have changed her connection to the source material. What’s her favorite song to perform? How has this show challenged Elise Enerson as an actress? Listen to this exciting interview to learn all those answers and more!
