Hercules Cast Recording

From the Writers

Alan Menken, who wrote for the 1997 animated film with David Zippel, said. “This Hercules cast album represents the culmination of a journey that started way back in the mid-’90s. In the world of Disney animation. The unique opportunities that came from composing a score filled with stylish pop and gospel influences. Combined with David Zippel’s brilliant, sophisticated lyrics, never failed to delight me. I believe audiences connected, both then and now, with that sense of joy we had in our writing process.

“One of my favorite aspects of adapting my own pre-existing material for a stage production. Is being able to give voice to characters who never sang before, like Hades. Including Hades’ new song, David and I have written seven new songs that bring even more heart and soul into the story.”

David Zippela also added, “What a joy it has been for Alan and me to reconnect with Hercules. The Muses, Meg, Hades, the Mount Olympus gang, our brilliant music department, and the extraordinary singing actors who bring these characters and our songs to life. We have loved the chance to write new songs and deepen Hercules’ emotional journey, and we cannot be more excited to share this album with, what the ancient Greeks called, the known world.”
