Disney has announced the final dates for its West End musical Disney’s Hercules at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.

Hercules was booking at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane until 18 July 2026, and has now announced its final extension, closing on 5 September 2026.

Disney’s Hercules is directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw (Mean Girls), who is currently busy directing Disney’s brand new stage musical adaptation of hit movie The Greatest Showman. The show opens in Bristol next month for a sold-out run, ahead of a widely rumoured West End transfer.

The cast of Hercules is led by Luke Brady (The Prince of Egypt) as Hercules, with Mae Ann Jorolan (Hercules, Aladdin) as Meg, 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.

The Five Muses are Candace Furbert (The Book of Mormon) as Thalia, Sharlene Hector (Hairspray) as Clio, Brianna Ogunbawo (The Lion King) as Melpomene, Leslie Beehann (Hercules Germany) as Calliope, Robyn Rose-Li (The Baker’s Wife) as Terpsichore, and Kimmy Edwards (A Christmas Carol) and Kamilla Fernandes (Grease) as Standby Muses.
