Next summer, Disney’s beloved classic Hercules is set to come to life on the London stage at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The magical adventure will be directed and choreographed by Tony-nominated Casey Nicholaw, who promises to transport audiences to ancient Greece, where Hercules, a half-god, half-mortal, must battle the evil Hades to save the world. Nicholaw has already delighted audiences in the UK and Ireland with stage productions of The Lion King and Frozen in London’s West End.

The musical will feature original music and lyrics by Disney songwriters Alan Menken and David Zippel, retained from the original film, alongside a brand-new book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah. Fans can get a sneak peek of the show’s exciting score in the 2023 Royal Variety Performance medley, which featured fan-favorite songs “Zero to Hero” and “Go the Distance”. The production promises to be a visually stunning experience, bringing to life the mythical world of Hercules, a half-god, half-mortal, with a talented cast and team of creatives combining to create an unforgettable experience.
