Disney's Hercules

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

Everyone's favourite demi-god is flexing his, rather sizable, muscles once again! Making the leap from screen to stage (we all know that he can go the distance!). The cheeky, Greeky MUSE-ical follows Hercules, the son of Zeus and Hera, who is kidnapped as a baby and turned mortal by Hades, the god of the underworld. Despite growing up on Earth as a mortal, Hercules retains his superhuman strength, and is determined to use this to return to Mount Olympus and reclaim his place among the gods. However, whilst striving to prove his worth, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and realises that what actually makes him happy, might not be infinite power and immortality after all. Facing various herculean challenges, the wannabe hero battles mythical creatures and the voices inside his head, as he learns about the true meaning of heroism, friendship, and love.
