CAST
NARRATOR: Long ago, in the faraway land of ancient Greece, there was a golden age of powerful
Gods and extraordinary heroes.
NARRATOR: And the greatest and strongest of all these heroes was Hercules. But… what is the
measure of the true hero?
THALIA: Will you listen to him? He’s making the story sound like a Greek tragedy!
ERATO: We are the muses. Goddesses of the arts and proclaimers of heroes.
POLYMNIA: Our story actually begins long before Hercules…many years ago…
THALIA: Back when the world was new…The Planet Earth was down on its luck.
CLIO: Then along came Zeus…he hurled his thunderbolts… he locked all the evil creatures in a
vault!
ERATO: They’re trapped! Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth.

HERMES: Whoaaa! Excuse me! Hot stuff coming through!! Excuse me!
HERMES: Yeah, you know, I had Chloris do the arrangement for me.
CHLORIS: Oh! It was not such a big deal, Hera. Just some stars from the Milky way, some flowers
from Demeter’s garden and some…
DEMETER: You were the one who stole my flowers! Chloris! You are always stealing them. How
many times do I have to tell you?
HERMES: Fabulous party your Highness. You know? I haven’t seen this much love in a room since
Narcissus discovered himself.
NARCISSUS: Look at those golden locks, and those muscles…shh now, you are so silly!
ZEUS: Well, let’s see here…it’s time to present… Pegasus! He’s all yours, son.
HADES: How sentimental. You know, I haven’t been this moved since I got a bone of fish caught in
my throat! Huh?

CHLORIS: Just if you try not to make us die of being so boring again!
ZEUS: Hades!!! You finally made it! How are things in the underworld?
HADES: Just fine, you know, a little dark….full of dead people. What are we gonna do? [Sendo
sarcástico] Ah, here is our little sunspot.
HADES: I would love to but, unlike the Gods relaxing up here, I have a full-time job, that you, gave
me…Zeus. So, I can’t.
ZEUS: You have to slow down Hades, you’ll work yourself to death. Hah! Work yourself to death!

MÚSICA L - ZERO TO HERO
===========================================================================
Bless my soul
Herc was on a roll
Person of the week in every Greek opinion poll
What a pro
Herc could stop a show
Point him at a monster and you're talking SRO
He was a no one
A zero, zero
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero
Here was a kid with his act down pat
From zero to hero in no time flat
Zero to hero just like that (snaps)
When he smiled
The girls went wild with
Oohs and aahs
And they slapped his face
On every vase
(On every "vahse")
Say amen
There he goes again
Sweet and undefeated
And an awesome 10 for 10
Folks lined up
Just to watch him flex
And this perfect package
Packed a pair of pretty pecs
Herc, he comes
He sees, he conquers
Honey, the crowds were
Going bonkers
He showed the moxie brains, and spunk
From zero to hero a major hunk
Zero to hero and who'da thunk
