We wanted to catch a show while on our honeymoon in London and decided on Hercules due to its location in proximity to our hotel. The theater was absolutely stunning, and the staff was helpful and kind. Our seats were obstructed slightly by the balcony overhead, but it only affected the top portion of the screen. Luckily, the screen wasn't used much during the performance and we had a perfect view of all the cast on stage. The show itself was great and quite funny — the audience laughed and clapped along which made it an even more enjoyable experience. Loved this charming, quaint theater and would definitely come back for another show here!

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.

I had never seen a theater performance like this before. They aren’t very popular in Italy. From start to finish, it was a whirlwind of emotions that’s hard to describe—you really have to see it to understand. The actors are brilliant, the music is incredible, and the special effects are stunning—especially when you consider that it’s all done on the spot. The synergy between the actors and those pulling the strings behind the scenes is flawless. It was truly a beautiful show, and I hope to return as soon as possible. Thank you for letting me experience this unique moment!

It was simply fantastic—an incredible experience. It started right from the theater’s atmosphere—it was unbelievably beautiful. We had really great seats and an excellent view of the stage. The musical *Hercules* was wonderful—the songs, the acting, and the dancing—all in all, truly amazing! We would go see it again and again!

It was such an exciting experience! I decided to go see the show just two hours beforehand, and buying the ticket online was easy. The musical *Hercules* was lively and colorful, and the time just flew by. The actors, dancers, and singers were truly talented, and the five muses were absolutely stunning! I would recommend it to both adults and children.

Everything was overwhelming: the live music, the actors’ melodious and powerful voices, their incredible dancing skills… it was all so intense that it brought tears to my eyes from the emotion!! We in the audience were captivated by these fantastic actors who could convey emotion even when they weren’t speaking: their gaze, their expressions, their body language, and their gestures… everything was crafted down to the smallest detail! Kudos also to the set transformations!! We all became children again, able to marvel and be amazed line after line! The stage changed right before our eyes, and we didn’t even notice the splendid stage effects—we were so captivated by the magic of the performance! I wholeheartedly recommend this experience; there’s no world outside of it—all our attention is there, amidst the adventures of a demigod who teaches the most important lesson: what’s exceptional is being human!
