Dutifully simplified adaptation of the Heracles myth. Diverse cast, perfectly cast with the right irony in the individual parts and in the often present chorus.
Hades and the chorus (almost gospel) very versatile and expressive stand out. Impressive staging for sure, as well as the costumes of the chorus in particular, always different and sparkling. Note to the athetics of the lead actor.

Why watch Disney's Hercules?
- Prepare for a mythical journey filled with unforgettable heroes, catchy melodies, and Ancient Greece brought to life. Disney’s Hercules is an epic tribute to mythology and self-discovery, directed by Tony-award winner Casey Nicholaw.
- With Hades delivering laugh-out-loud quips and the sassy Muses singing gospel-infused anthems like Zero to Hero, this show is an exhilarating ride of entertainment. With Meg’s unforgettable "I won’t say I’m in love" spirit and Hercules’ adventurous quest through the enchanting realm of Mount Olympus and you have historical hijinks all the way.
- Even gods need a little music, and this electrifying musical took Broadway by storm before it’s West End debut. Broadway World’s Martin Ganeider says “Director Casey Nicholaw created a powerful, family-friendly show with energetic dance moves framed by a massive set design. HERCULES is an eye catcher…”
Ancient Greece has a new hero on the block…after he goes from Zero to hero, that is. This cherished story is now transformed into a stage musical, with wise-cracks, Greek columns and many many trips to the underworld. Featuring music by the renowned Alan Menken, known for Disney hits like Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, and directed by the Tony Award-winning Casey Nicholaw, the show is an extraordinary spectacle for new audiences and the Ancient Greek geeks out there.
Storyline
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.

The set was so dynamic and added to the atmosphere significantly. The muses were absolutely the highlight of the show and had incredible voices. Such a fun musical to see as an adult with nostalgic memories of the movie! The second half did feel short but we could've watched this forever! Would recommend.
