The musical, inspired by the animated film, based on the ancient myth – DISNEY’S HERCULES THE MUSICAL is coming to Theatre Royal Drury Lane in summer 2025! It’s what classical civilisation would have wanted. Get ready for a wise-cracking, column-shaking, underworld-rocking ride of adventure, self-discovery and love. In tunics. Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel, a brand-new book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah, and co-choreography by Tanisha Scott, DISNEY’S HERCULES delivers a thrilling night out at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane that leaves you ready to conquer anything. What is Disney’s Hercules the Musical about? 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.
