While we patiently wait for news on Guy Ritchie’s live-action adaptation of Hercules, Paper Mill Playhouse has announced initial casting for its upcoming stage musical on Disney’s animated hit.

The stage musical will feature Bradley Gibson (The Lion King, A Bronx Tale, Rocky) as Hercules, Tony winner Shuler Hensley (Oklahoma!) as Hades, Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart (Aladdin) as Phil, and Isabelle McCalla as Meg. Additional castings will be announced at a later date.
