Disney's Hercules West End Tickets, News, Info & More
Theatre Royal Drury Lane
Catherine Street London
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.
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, Hercules delivers a thrilling night out at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane that leaves you ready to conquer anything.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Disney's Hercules
Hercules at Theatre Royal Drury Lane: 'chugs along agreeably enough'
6 / 10
However, Brady’s Hercules is sweet but uncharismatic, his romance with Hades’ bored-seeming servant Meg (Mae Ann Jorolan) low-powered. Alan Menken and David Zippel’s score includes hits from the original film and some new numbers added for the 2019 off Broadway premiere: I enjoyed the Muses’ much-reprised Gospel Truth, Hercules’ Go the Distance, and Meg’s Forget About It in performance, but none lingered in the ear or the mind on the journey home.
'Hercules' review — Muses steal the show in Disney's latest screen-to-stage adaptation
8 / 10
While the sets and effects here are not as striking (though there is once again a bridge traversing the length of the stage, this time in set designer Dane Laffrey’s stalactite-encrusted Underworld), Casey Nicholaw’s production packs in big tunes, gorgeous costumes, and plenty of groan-worthy laughs.
