This Broadway-style show brings vibrant life to the heroes who vanquish villains in spectacular battles so that good can ultimately triumph over evil.
Mythical Melodies & Sights
Disney Hercules includes all the beloved songs from the film, so be prepared to go the distance! This musical features incredible vocals and show-stopping numbers that are livelier than ever performed before. And get ready for the debut of the heartful ballad “Shooting Star”—a song originally written for the film and featured now in a beautiful rendition on the stage. The beloved music, stunning visuals and immersive projection effects are among the many things make this show one to remember.
Larger-Than-Life Characters experience the power of dramatic storytelling when award-winning puppet design brings iconic Hercules characters like the Hydra to life.
The Gospel Truth

I wonder how this show will be different from the previously retired Hercules: The MUSE-ical
