Written by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah and featuring new songs from composer Alan Menken and lyrist David Zippel (the musical minds behind the animated film), you may not be a damsel, but you’ll be in distress if you miss your chance to see this magical musical!

About Hercules London

The musical, inspired by the animated film, based on the ancient myth. It's what classical civilisation would have wanted.

Ancient Greece. A time of gods, mortals… and Hercules, who isn’t quite either. But if he's not a god, how can he possibly save the world from Hades? It's one thing flexing those pecs, but going from zero to hero requires a different kind of strength.

Get ready for a wise-cracking, column-shaking, underworld-rocking ride of adventure and self-discovery. In tunics. Join the fun with Hercules in the West End and get your tickets today.

Hercules: The Elecrifying New Musical: Fun facts and critical acclaim

• In the classic animated film Hades states ‘Guys, relax. It’s only half-time’ at the 46-minute mark, the exact halfway point of the 92-minute feature!
• In the ancient myth, Hercules was originally supposed to perform ten tasks, but King Eurystheus added another two to the list because he didn’t like the way the demi-god completed a couple of them. A backbreaking lesson in the importance of not cutting corners!
• Alan Menken and David Zippel received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for the soaring ballad ‘Go The Distance’.
• It may have been an animated film, but Danny DeVito‘s mouth is featured throughout the movie! The director had never seen an actor contort and twist his mouth so much when performing the dialogue, and knew he had to translate these movements onto the screen, which is why Phil talks, and looks, like that.
• James Woods adlibbed and improvised a lot during his critically acclaimed performance of Hades. In fact, he talked so fast that it took the animators two weeks to draw a one-second scene.
