Why Hercules scores this way

The mortal-born son of Zeus trains to become a true hero and earn his place among the gods, while the conniving lord of the underworld plots against him. Fast, comedic, and energetic with gospel-style musical numbers; mythological monsters, fiery underworld imagery, and battle scenes bring moderate fantasy peril.
