About Hercules

Ancient Greece. A time of gods, mortals… and Hercules, who isn’t quite either. Born on Mount Olympus but cast down to Earth, Hercules is a young man with superhuman strength and a massive identity crisis. If he’s not a god, how can he possibly save the world from his scheming uncle Hades?

It’s one thing flexing those pecs and battling the Hydra, but going from “”zero to hero”” requires a different kind of strength – the kind found in the heart. Guided by the soulful Muses, the cynical satyr Phil, and the sharp-witted Meg, Hercules must prove he has the soul of a god to reclaim his seat in the heavens.

Hercules the Musical is a divinely funny quest about an honest-to-Zeus hero discovering that belonging isn’t about where you’re from, but who you’re willing to protect.
