There’s a good chance you’re familiar with the story of Hercules and have seen Disney's retelling in a classic, 1997 animated film, but I bet you've never seen it on a boat. The story of how scenes are set, props are built, and characters come to life in a new staged production aboard a moving cruise ship is a hero's journey worthy of the original.
As I’ve already unpacked, Hercules aboard the Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Destiny ship is using a boatload of technology in some unexpected ways – yes, there are projections on scrims, the stage, and the walls surrounding it in the Walt Disney Theater, but it’s also being used on performers to take one of the classic songs to new heights.
