The musical is continuing to play at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane until the 5th September.
It has been announced that Broadway’s Bradley Gibson will lead the company of Hercules, for the final part of the London run of the musical, reprising the role of Hercules from 29th June which he originated in the world premiere production in New Jersey in 2023.
The full company for the show’s final extension will be announced shortly.
Talking about the news, Bradley Gibson said: “What an honour to step back into the role of Hercules which I had the enormous privilege of originating back home. To come full circle with this epic production, and make my West End debut at the glorious Theatre Royal Drury Lane is an absolute dream come true.”
Based on the Disney animated film, Hercules features music by Alan Menken and lyrics by David Zippel. The book is by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah and the musical features direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw, co-choreographed by Tanisha Scott.
Ancient Greece. A time of gods, mortals… and Hercules, who isn’t quite either. But if he’s not a god, how can he possibly save the world from Hades? It’s one thing flexing those pecs, but going from zero to hero requires a different kind of strength.
Get ready for a wise-cracking, column-shaking, underworld-rocking ride of adventure, self-discovery, and love. In tunics.
