Disney Theatrical Group has officially unveiled the complete cast for the highly anticipated stage adaptation of Hercules, set to debut at Theatre Royal Drury Lane this summer. Previews begin on 6 June, with the show officially opening on 24 June.
Luke Brady, previously announced as Hercules, leads an ensemble cast that includes Mae Ann Jorolan as Meg, Trevor Dion Nicholas as Phil, and Stephen Carlile as the villainous Hades. The iconic Muses will be brought to life by Candace Furbert (Thalia), Sharlene Hector (Clio), Brianna Ogunbawo (Melpomene), Malinda Parris (Calliope), Robyn Rose-Li (Terpsichore), and Kamilla Fernandes as Standby Muse. They are joined by Craig Gallivan and Lee Zarrett in the roles of Bob and Charles.

The production is directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with co-choreography by Tanisha Scott, music by Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel, and a fresh book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah. Inspired by the beloved 1997 Disney animated film, Hercules promises a visually dazzling, emotionally resonant journey from “zero to hero” filled with humour, heart, and unforgettable songs like Go the Distance.
With a cast of exceptional talent and creative direction from the team behind The Book of Mormon and Aladdin, Hercules is set to be an underworld-shaking hit. Tickets are on sale now—don’t miss your chance to witness this legendary story live on stage.
