Hercules premiere in Germany – Disney meets the Greek pantheon

The musical will premiere on 24 Marc at the Theater Neue Flora in Hamburg

Hercules, the son of Zeus and Hera, is cast to Earth by a trick by Hades, the evil god of the underworld. Still endowed with god-like powers, Hercules searches for his place in the world with the help of his trainer Phil and faces the daunting challenges Hades has in store for him to become a true hero and return to Olympus.

One adventure follows the next as Hercules gains fame and glory in society – and meets Meg, a mortal with strengths all her own who will change his fate.

Music by Alan Menken and David Zippel, which includes all the hits from one of Disney's most popular films; including "Go the Distance," which was nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Oscar in 1998, as well as "Zero to Hero" and "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)." But also new songs, specially designed for the musical stage, take you from Olympus to Hades into the fantastic world of Disney's HERCULES with overwhelming gospel choirs, soulful piano ballads and the unique Disney magic.
