The Story

In Hercules: The Musical, a misfit demigod with godlike power sets out on an epic quest to prove himself a real hero and regain his rightful position on Mount Olympus. As he journeys, Hercules faces scary creatures, foils Hades's witty schemes, and, perhaps most challenging of all, falls for the cunning Meg. Hercules learns that true heroism isn't about physical prowess, but rather the bravery to stand up for what is important in life, as the Muses recount the story via unforgettable gospel songs and an adventure full of joy, adventure, and emotion.
