The theater is pretty easy to get to. The staff is friendly, but needs to be better at informing when it comes to concessions. First row of balcony is not allowed to have glass at their seats but that's what the bar gives and they serve soda and other drinks in glass bottles, only offering a plastic cup when you try to go to your seat.
As for the show, it was not what I was expecting. They changed the plot for the musical and some of the actors were obviously not the typical ones in the roles they were playing. But it was a Wednesday night performance.
My view from the front row of the balcony was great if I leaned forward for the entire show. Sitting normally in my seat, I missed any action at the left front of the stage.

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.

My wife and I came to London mainly because we wanted to see this show. Hercules has always been my favorite Disney cartoon, ever since I was a kid. We also went to Broadway last year, but this is probably still the best musical we’ve ever seen. All the performers were truly excellent; I especially liked the Muses and Hades. To make sure we didn’t miss a thing, we stocked up on souvenirs after the show—including that wonderful tote bag.

Took my almost 5 year old to see it on Saturday and it was magical from start to finish! The singing was incredible, the set design was stunning and the set changes were done so smoothly you barely noticed they were happening. We both left with huge grins on our faces and are both in a hurry to rush back to see it again!

Disney's Hercules was an absolute blast! High-energy performances from start to finish, with humor that landed perfectly and kept the audience laughing. The production was vibrant, entertaining, and full of heart. A fun, feel-good musical that's definitely worth seeing!

This show was so fun! It deviates a little from the Disney movie and a lot from the myth (of course), but it was really fun and well performed. The costumes were cohesive and very nice, the set was beautiful and creative, and I loved the special effects.
