Inspired by Disney's animated film, Hercules is the wise-cracking new musical that will take you on a column-shaking adventure of self-discovery to the summit of Mount Olympus!

Ancient Greece was a time of lowly mortals, powerful gods... and Hercules, who was cursed to be neither one nor the other. The son of Zeus and Hera was kidnapped as a baby and made mortal by the god of the underworld. All he kept was his superhuman strength, and he's been striving to prove his worth ever since.

All he wants to do is reclaim his place amongst the immortals on Mount Olympus and save the world from Hades. But as the wannabe hero heads out on a journey of self-discovery - battling mythical creatures and completing a series of herculean challenges - he discovers the true meaning of love and friendship, and learns that strength and immortality might not be so important after all.
