Why See Hercules?
a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart
Grammy nominee Luke Brady to star as Hercules!
Bless My Soul! Adapted from the classic Disney movie, Hercules is set to dazzle at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in the summer of 2025! Featuring music by the legend (and Disney favorite) Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel, a brand-new book by Kwame Kwei-Armah and Robert Horn, and choreography by Casey Nicolaw, this exciting new production is set to be legendary as it tells the story of the half-god half-mortal and his thrilling adventures!
One of the most visually distinct and beloved Disney movies, Menken's glorious tunes (including 'The Gospel Truth', 'Go The Distance', 'Zero To Hero', and many more) make this story of a young demigod an infectious adventure about reaching your full potential that all the family can relate to.
What is the story?
In Ancient Greece the gods on Olympus reign supreme. Disaster strikes when Zeus' (the kingpin of all the Greek gods) newborn son, Hercules, is kidnapped and turned into a demi-god by the terrible god of the underworld, Hades. With Hercules no longer allowed on Mount, Olympus Hercules is adopted by a humble farming couple.
As Hercules grows into a teenager he begins to realize that his super-human strength may be the key to finding out who he really is. Setting out on a quest to become a hero, young Hercules meets Phil, a cynical Satyr who was once a great trainer to the heroes. But Hercules doesn't have long before he has to meet his match - an army of titans directed by none other than Hades himself...
Will Hercules be able to rescue Greece in time?
