Welcome to Hadestown, where a song can change your fate. This acclaimed new musical by celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always.
Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales—that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone—as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
"Perfectly, and INCREDIBLY talented, cast, amazing stage design, and a masterful telling of an timeless story all came together to deliver one of my favorite Broadway events of all time.
It seems unfair to me that THIS many talented and otherwise exceptional people can come together at one time and show an entire audience that magic is real in 2024.
**STANDING OVATION (AGAIN)**

"Starting this show I was unsure what to think. The stage looked a little cramped and the story took a minute to get going but once it did I was blown away by the coreography, the staging and the use of light.
This is a must see and I highly recommend sitting somewhere in the middle. "
