Description
The Hercules theatre musical is a modern Disney stage adaptation of the 1997 animated film Hercules. It has been developed for major stages like Off-Broadway, Hamburg, and London’s West End (Theatre Royal Drury Lane), with music by Disney legend Alan Menken.
It turns the animated film into a big, comedic, mythological stage spectacle set in Ancient Greece, filled with gods, monsters, and powerful musical numbers.
Hercules is a half-god. Born to Zeus and Hera, Hercules faces a twist when Hades, the underworld's cunning god, poisons him, stripping away his immortality yet leaving his remarkable strength intact.The clever Disney take on the myth introduces Hercules to his mentor, the grumpy satyr Philoctetes, and his love interest, the spirited Megara. Raised as a mortal, he later uncovers his true lineage and resolves to become a legendary hero.
