Marie Talley
Marie Talley plays the part of Maleficent in Disney’s Descendants: The Musical. In the role, she exhibits that cold, calculating and maliciously Machiavellian mentality that Angelina Jolie brought to the character in the movie. Her interactions with on-stage daughter, Mal, crackle with a tension heightened by the realization that Winter Talley is her real life daughter.
Marie was last seen in the ensemble of Rent and, before that, in the role of Marie in Sound of Music, both at Fort Myers Theatre. Other credits include West Side Story and Most Happy Fella. Marie studied vocal performance and music at the University of Florida and is part of Gulfshore Opera’s ensemble, the GO Divas.
