The Epic Journey of Hercules Comes to the Stage
Disney’s Hercules the musical brings the beloved 1997 animated film to life on stage, following the legendary story of Hercules, a young demigod struggling to find his true identity. Raised as a mortal, Hercules embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will lead him to confront villains, make powerful alliances, and ultimately prove his worth as a true hero.
A Quest to Discover Strength and Purpose
The musical delves into Hercules’ journey as he uncovers his godly heritage and faces trials that test both his physical strength and his character. With the help of his friends, including the clever and courageous Meg and the loyal trainer Phil, Hercules battles the odds and learns that real heroism comes from the heart, not just muscle.
Vibrant Characters and Iconic Music
With a score by Alan Menken, known for his legendary contributions to Disney musicals, and lyrics by David Zippel, Hercules features unforgettable songs like "Go the Distance" and "Zero to Hero." The stage adaptation brings beloved characters like the feisty Muses and the villainous Hades to life, with dynamic choreography and a fresh take on the classic tale. Expect a thrilling adventure full of humour, love, and heart-pounding action, complete with stunning visuals and an electrifying cast.
An Unforgettable Theatrical Experience
