Disney’s Hercules Sets Final West End Closing Date

Disney’s Hercules The Musical has confirmed its final West End extension, with performances at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane now set to close on 5 September 2026. Producers have stated that this extension will be the last, marking the final opportunity for audiences to see the production in London.

The announcement follows a strong run for the musical, which has consistently attracted large audiences since opening in the West End. Based on the beloved Disney animated film, Hercules has become a popular choice for families and musical theatre fans, combining spectacle, humour and emotional storytelling in a large-scale stage production.

The musical follows Hercules on his journey from misunderstood outsider to true hero, featuring music by Alan Menken with lyrics by David Zippel. Familiar songs from the original film are blended with new material written specifically for the stage, supported by high-energy choreography and bold visual design. The production’s ensemble-driven performances and theatrical flair have played a key role in its continued popularity.

The current West End cast includes Luke Brady in the title role, with Mae Ann Jorolan as Meg and Trevor Dion Nicholas as Phil. Stephen Carlile appears as Hades, supported by a dynamic ensemble that brings the story’s mythical world to life. The cast and creative team have been credited with maintaining momentum throughout the show’s extended run.

With the final closing date now confirmed, remaining performances are expected to be in high demand, particularly during peak travel periods and school holidays. The announcement allows audiences to plan ahead for a last chance to experience one of Disney’s most ambitious stage adaptations in London.

As the West End continues to showcase large-scale musicals alongside new productions, Disney’s Hercules is set to conclude its London journey in September 2026, bringing its run to a definitive close.
