About this show

Join Hercules and the Muses in this pantomime twist on a classic myth! You might have heard of Hercules – he’s something of a hero – and he’s fallen in love with Meg! All he needs to do is complete three quests before he can marry her. Little does he know that the evil Goddess Hera is plotting against him. Can he fight the Nemean lion, the many-headed Hydra, collect a golden apple, and overcome the wrath of Hera to finally get the girl? Expect pantomime puns, magnificent musical numbers and plenty of audience interaction!
