Stephanie Mills, Maia Reficco and Yola Begin Performances in Broadway's Hadestown

Hadestown welcomes two new principal cast members to Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre on July 2. Beginning performances are Maia Reficco as Eurydice and Yola as Persephone. Reficco stars in the HBO Max Original Series Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin and Yola is a six-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter. 

On July 9, Stephanie Mills begins performances as Hermes. Mills was originally also slated to begin performances on July 2; the week's delay is due to illness. Mills is best known as the original Dorothy in The Wiz on Broadway.

The Broadway cast of Hadestown also currently features Jordan Fisher as Orpheus, Phillip Boykin as Hades and Jessie Shelton, Kay Trinidad and Brit West as the Fates. Jon Jon Briones, Isa Briones and Ani DiFranco recently departed the cast as Hermes, Eurydice and Persephone, respectively. 

Hadestown is the winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, the show features a Tony-nominated book and Tony-winning score by Anaïs Mitchell and Tony-winning direction by Rachel Chavkin.
