Disney Theatrical Group has released the first production images of Hercules, now previewing at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with co-choreography by Tanisha Scott, Hercules is inspired by the 1997 animated Disney film and features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel, and a brand-new book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah.
The musical reimagines the myth of the legendary demigod with a bold, contemporary flair. Audiences can expect a “wise-cracking, column-shaking, underworld-rocking ride of adventure, self-discovery, and love. In tunics.”
The cast is led by Luke Brady as Hercules, with Mae Ann Jorolan as Meg, Trevor Dion Nicholas as Phil, and Stephen Carlile as Hades. The Muses are played by Candace Furbert, Sharlene Hector, Brianna Ogunbawo, Malinda Parris, and Robyn Rose-Li, with Kimmy Edwards and Kamilla Fernandes as standby Muses.
Also featured are Craig Gallivan and Lee Zarrett as Bob and Charles, supported by an ensemble including Rhianne Alleyne, Lana Antoniou, Daisy Barnett, Felipe Bejarano, and many more.
The creative team includes scenic and video design by Dane Laffrey, costumes by Gregg Barnes and Sky Switser, lighting by Jeff Croiter, and sound by Adam Fisher. Special effects are designed by Jeremy Chernick, with orchestrations by Danny Troob and Joseph Joubert.
The production is supervised musically by Michael Kosarin, with dance arrangements by David Chase and casting by Natalie Gallacher CDG for Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher Casting.
