Disney's Hercules: The Musical brings the beloved animated film to glorious theatrical life at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane — one of the oldest and most spectacular theatre venues in the world, located in Covent Garden with excellent links from Covent Garden and Holborn tube stations. The show follows the half-mortal son of Zeus as he strives to prove himself a true hero, guided by his satyr trainer Phil and falling for the quick-witted Megara, while battling the schemes of the underworld lord Hades. Alan Menken's iconic score has been expanded and reimagined for the stage, with the show-stopping gospel chorus The Muses providing electrifying musical punctuation throughout.
For Disney fans exploring the West End, Hercules makes a brilliant companion to The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre — the greatest achievement in Disney stage adaptation — and 101 Dalmatians, another beloved animated story brought magnificently to London theatre life. Families looking for a full weekend of West End shows should also consider Matilda the Musical at the Cambridge Theatre, which shares the same gift for delivering entertainment that works simultaneously on multiple levels for adults and children alike.
The Theatre Royal Drury Lane is simply one of the most extraordinary buildings in London, with a history stretching back to 1663 and a recently completed restoration that makes it as beautiful as it has ever been. Covent Garden itself is one of the most enjoyable areas of central London to spend a day before the show, with outstanding restaurants, street performers and shopping on every corner. Book your Disney Hercules tickets now for a West End musical that combines the power of one of cinema's most charming stories with the magic of live theatre at its most spectacular.
