Disney’s HERCULES - Reviews & News Thread — Page 4

I have been thinking the same thing. I wrote in the Palace Theater construction thread, I wonder if Hercules might open at the Palace in Spring 2024 if the theater is ready. It would be a win-win PR wise that arguably the most historic theater on Broadway reopen's with a surefire hit, (it might not be an actual hit, but its guaranteed to do Buffo Business for the first 6 months of its run). We also know that a revival of Beauty and the Beast was supposed to re-open the Palace for a limited run before heading out on a National tour Pre-covid, so the Neaderlanders were already willing to offer the re-opening production to Disney.

I just got tickets this afternoon. Not many seats left for the dates i was looking at.


Was Newsies or Honeymoon in Vegas (I know that one isn’t Disney) billed as pre-broadway?

If they can get the plot to be a little meatier, for example Hades needs a much better song than the one presented during the Public run, then this would fit great in the Nederlander.

I just realized they have new book writers. One of them is the guy who was the artistic director at the Young Vic in London. Hopefully it makes this piece even better than the Public production. This show is HIGHLY anticipated. I got my tickets for March 5. Love that they have Sunday evening performances.

Very easy! Take the train to Milburn - cute town - and it’s just a short walk.

Would really love to see some updated poster artwork for this production. There are so many ways they could make this pop better, and I feel the current artwork they are using is just so similar to the film's logo. I know it's a pre-Broadway production, but I feel like the Public Theater's artwork made the show feel fresh and exciting. I also know the Public's artwork is stylistically similar from show to show. It's just not leaving me feeling excited, personally. I'm sure the production will be spectacular and it's still a work in progress, would just love a bit more pop to the marketing of the show.

Disney has posted auditions for a limited run musical at the Hyperion in Disney California Adventure, and the roles they are seeking come across very much as Hercules.

Oh wow, this looks like a lot of fun.

This show needs a Taymor-esque large scale vision to work.
Lear deBessonet will not bring that.

Really hoping this extends a week so I can see it on my trip.

Good God. Bradley Gibson is a SNACK!

Previews begin tonight! Anyone going? I'll be there next week!
