Hercules
The musical, inspired by the animation, inspired by the ancient myth. It's what classical civilisation would have wanted.Ancient Greece.
A time of gods, mortals… and Hercules, who doesn't quite belong to 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, self-discovery, and love.
In tunics.
