The musical will celebrate Halloween in style for one performance only on the 31st October.
This Halloween belongs to Hades as the West End production of Disney’s Hercules announces a special experience on the 31st October.
Hades will take over Theatre Royal Drury Lane’s front of house with a trail of music, mayhem, photo opportunities before curtain-up, before being followed up by a surprise third-act.
Starting at 8pm on Halloween, audiences attending on this date are invited to dress up in their best spooky seasonal looks or costumes.
Based on the 1997 animated film, Hercules follows the story of the Greek hero as he goes on an adventure to reclaim his birthright – while going up against the villainous Hades.
