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
Review: Disney’s Hercules at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London
9 / 10
Luke Brady leads the cast with a commanding performance as Hercules, combining vocal prowess with emotional nuance. His rendition of “Go the Distance” is a clear highlight—soaring, heartfelt, and met with rapturous applause. He is ably supported by Mae Ann Jorolan as Meg, who brings a sharp wit and smoky vocal tone to the role, capturing the character’s complexity with ease. Disney’s wonder boy is wonderful.
Oh mighty Zeus! The Hercules musical is awful
4 / 10
It is very hard to care much about our bland and characterless hero, who has teeth of such dazzling whiteness that even the gods must be blinded. Anyway, he discovers the fact of his divine parentage and vows to return “home” to Olympus (another huge irritation is that almost all the characters have American accents, leading to excess, bizarre and culturally unfamiliar pronunciation. Zeus’s wife here, phonetically, is Hair-a).
