I really enjoyed Hercules the Musical. Going in, I thought it would just be a fun, familiar Disney show, but it ended up being much more heartwarming than I expected.
The music was my favorite part. Hearing the songs live made them feel exciting and powerful, especially whenever the Muses were onstage. They brought so much energy and humor, and every scene with them felt special. Hades was also a standout—funny, fast-talking, and entertaining without trying too hard.
I liked how relatable Hercules felt in this version. His struggle to figure out who he is and where he belongs felt honest and easy to connect to. Meg was smart and confident, and her humor balanced the emotional moments really well.
The show was colorful, creative, and fun to watch. Some parts were a little silly, but that’s part of what made it enjoyable. By the end, I was smiling and felt genuinely happy.
Overall, Hercules the Musical is a feel-good show with great music, strong characters, and a positive message. I’m glad I got to see it. Highly recommend

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 visited on January 3rd and it was an absolutely incredible experience! This was actually the first time I’ve ever seen a musical, and it was the perfect introduction. It was so emotional to relive the story of a hero I loved as a child; it felt like fulfilling an adult dream. The production was breathtaking and the energy was contagious. I am now completely enchanted and it made me want to see many more musicals in the future. A truly magical and memorable day!

It was a truly amazing experience! The theater is really beautiful and has a magical atmosphere. Can we talk about the show? There aren't enough words to describe it. The artists are amazing, the muses are truly divine, and the sets are breathtaking. A wonderful 360-degree show! I was in the last row of the Royal Circle (L), and the view was excellent.

As our last night in London we chose to see this beautiful show. The cast was great, the muses crazy. Beautiful sets, set in the context of a wonderful theater. Although the seats were very high the visibility was always excellent. TOP experience!!!
