Disney’s Hercules at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London is presenting a special Halloween performance on 31 October 2025.
For one night only, Hades will take over Theatre Royal Drury Lane’s front of house with music, mayhem and photo opportunities, before curtain-up and a surprise third-act of the show.
Starting at 8pm on the 31 October, audiences are invited to come dressed in their best spooky seasonal looks or costumes, with extra kudos for being Disney Villain-inspired.
The bar will also feature themed cocktails for this one-off event, and trading card game company Lorcana will be running giveaways and special prizes.
There will also be a third-act performance during the show, with details being kept a closely guarded secret.
And finally, Susan Egan the original Meg from the Hercules animated film will join the company at the curtain call to lead a very special Disney villain medley to round off the evening in spook-tacular fashion.
Directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw (The Greatest Showman The New Musical, Mean Girls), Disney’s epic new production of Hercules is now playing at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, booking to 28 March 2026.
The show stars Luke Brady (The Prince of Egypt) as Hercules and Mae Ann Jorolan (Hercules, Aladdin) as Meg, with Trevor Dion Nicholas (Hadestown, Hamilton, Aladdin) as Phil, Stephen Carlile (The Lion King) as Hades, and Craig Gallivan (Frozen) and Lee Zarrett (My Fair Lady) as Bob and Charles.
