🏛️ What Is Hercules the Musical About?
Inspired by Disney’s animated film and the ancient Greek myth, Hercules the Musical tells the story of a young man caught between two worlds — god and mortal — as he searches for where he truly belongs.
Set in Ancient Greece, it’s a tale packed with larger-than-life characters, divine comedy, and heartfelt moments of self-discovery. With help from the Muses and the love of the quick-witted Meg, Hercules must find his inner strength to defeat the villainous Hades and become the hero he was meant to be.
Expect an “underworld-rocking ride” of adventure, laughter, and love — in true Disney style.
Fans of the film will be thrilled to hear all the beloved songs return, including:
🎶 “Go The Distance”
🎶 “Zero to Hero”
🎶 “I Won’t Say (I’m in Love)”
Plus, enjoy brand-new songs written exclusively for the stage by Menken and Zippel.
