Hercules the Musical

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, self-discovery, and love. In tunics. 

Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by David Zippel
Book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah
