About the work

The musical, inspired by the animated film, based on the ancient myth. It's what classical civilisation would have wanted.

Ancient Greece. A time of gods, mortals... and Hercules, who isn't quite either. But if he's not a god, how can he possibly save the world from Hades? It's one thing flexing those pecs, but going from zero to hero requires a different kind of strength. Get ready for a wise-cracking, column-shaking, underworld-rocking ride of adventure and self-discovery. In tunics. Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with music by Disney Legend Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel, a brand-new book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah, and co-choreography by Tanisha Scott, Hercules delivers a thrilling night out that leaves you ready to conquer anything.
