Wonderful cast & stellar performances by the understudies

"We absolutely loved the show. We had 7 understudies performing for our show and wow were they phenomenal!! The songs are so catchy, the effects were fabulous, and the choreography was very fun. "

Hadestown Did Not Disappoint

"The show was fantastic. We had read other reviews that said people who didn't know the stories of Orpheus and Eurydice, Hades and Persephone might have a hard time following the story. We did a quick 5 min google search for a synopsis before going to the theater. It did help, though the actors have such fabulous diction we didn't get lost at all. The acting/vocals werr fabulous and the set was amazing."

Simply Wonderful

"I went into the performance without any knowledge regarding the story. I am lost for words. Everything was incredible. The music was powerful, acting sublime, costumes beautiful, set design wondrous, and everything else was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the entire experience. Will see again, and would definitely recommend. 10 out of 10. "

Simply amazing

"My daughter picked this show for us to see on our trip to NYC. I had no idea what the play was about. I was blown away. Wonderful story. So much talent on the stage. The set was best I’ve ever seen and brought the story to life. I highly recommend this show. "

Fantastic show

"It was my first time on Broadway and I was amazed by choreography and acting skills. It was fun and emotional piece, I can’t throw the soundtrack out of my head! Orfeus was played by Timothy H. Lee but I wouldn’t have figured out he was an understudy - he was absolutely gorgeous!"

A must see musical play

"This musical play is a must see. The cast and music made you feel like you were there in Hades Town. The song choices created a picture and the cast brought that picture to life. Truly amazing from start to finish."

Broadway.com Customer on Mar 13, 2025

Absolutely fabulous!

"Hadestown was one of the best Broadway shows I've seen. The singing and acting was beyond my expectations. "

A sad song worth singing again

"Hermes has a line near the end of the show where he says Orpheus has a way of making you believe maybe this time he won’t turn back and man I felt that. The tension of the ending really lasts right to the end of the show even knowing full well the myth of Orpheus. Meanwhile it’s propelled by the powerhouse voices of Persephone and Hermes -who I think might be the real ones on loan from Olympus- and the incredible range and tone of Orpheus. What Eurydice lacks in power she makes up for in her stellar acting and the way she emotes on stage. I was crying for her in every song. Hades I’ve seen highlighted as the weak point in several reviews and I have to agree. I thought his voice was lovely and strong and well enunciated but he had almost no chemistry with Eurydice which you want to believe for the plot at least a little right? I also found his costuming almost distractingly bad. However his dance with Persephone DID make me ugly cry. The set was beautiful and the band was incredible however. A true delight to listen to them play especially with Hermes the Fates and Persephone like they were old friends. The music itself I don’t think I need to gush about since this show has won so many awards but I have been listening to the album on repeat since (and fwiw I find the album voices to a person inferior to everyone I heard on stage last night in New York). The show is one of a handful I won’t ever forget. Hope you go see it. "

Elaine F from Hales Corners on Mar 12, 2025

Blown away!

"This show exceeded my expectations. I had listened to the music many times, but seeing it live was magical. I brought my niece and she said it best, it changed her life. She was in tears for most of the show. Happy tears. It was beautiful to watch, and so well done. The ensemble was so powerful and precise, loved all of the stars - I can’t even pick a favorite. The songs/story is fabulously written, the musicians were fantastic, the talent of the cast is amazing! "

Noel H from Pacifica on Mar 11, 2025

Don’t wait for Hadestown!

"Fantastically creative story, songs, set; moving performances; amazing voices; powerful choreography. My 14-yr-old’s pic and we’d go again. Complexity of story not for young children. Great for theater lovers, newbies, and youth learning Greek mythology."

Broadway.com Customer on Mar 9, 2025

Amazing

"I loved the show especially the music. All the actors nailed it! The story is unique and interesting. Highly recommend "

Modern Orpheus

"Great production, great performance. Loved the music. Interesting costuming. Excellent vocals. However, Hades voice was a little to mellow for the stage."

Beverly Anne R from Austin on Mar 5, 2025

So beautiful and amazing. I wanna go again and again and again.

"I have known the musical for a long time. Finally got to see it live. And did not disappoint, more so, exceeded all expectations. The scenes, immersive. The music, beautiful. The cast and crew, talented and deserving of all awards and ovations. I truly hope to be able to go one more time. Soo touching and moving, full of emotion and feeling of love. "

Carolina C from Merida on Mar 2, 2025

Way Down Under the Ground

"Amazing performance! The cast/musicians poured their hearts into the performance and brought my daughter to tears multiple times. I am not familiar with the story of Orpheus & Eurydice but Act II really tied everything together for me. The actors who came to the stage door were very generous with their time and took pictures with everyone who asked and signed everyone’s playbill. I believe it’s a show no one should miss!"

No preconceived notions…

"I went into this show knowing nothing about it, no songs were known, no preconceived notions. I still loved it!"

Caryn G from Newtown on Feb 25, 2025

We see why it won Tony's

"Up beat rhythm to entire show. Actors were really good. And the story of Greek tragedy was apparent. ReaLy enjoyed the show!"

Gerald B from Rancho Palos Verdes on Feb 24, 2025

Captivating show with excellent performances

"I wasn’t sure what to expect from the show, but it turned out to be one of my favourites so far. All of the cast were great and so were the musicians. It was wonderful to hear the trombone so prominent in a number of the songs. The whole performance held our attention from the beginning to the end."

Broadway.com Customer on Feb 18, 2025

Spectacular

"As a professional musician, I’ve played a lot of music from musicals, and have found it, well, lacking. Not counting playing actual musicals, I’ve only been to see one, once: Wicked, and in my home town. The theater is enormous, the sound was uneven, even though the performers were obviously very talented, I thought I had seen my last musical - no need to go again. Well, until I happened to be in NYC and acquiesced to seeing Hadestown with my wife. O…M…G. it was spectacular. No, it was astonishing. I didn’t know Broadway theaters would or could be this “small” and intimate. The level of musicianship coupled with a crazy amount of energy truly blew my mind. To anyone out there who thought musicals were “meh,” go get your mind changed seriously, and see Hadestown. You. Will. Love. It."

Paul B from CINCINNATI on Feb 17, 2025

Talent overload

Broadway.com Customer on Feb 14, 2025

A necessary masterpiece

"The music, the story, the metaphors: everything comes together so beautifully in a time where we need to come together and fight for a future world. I had goosebumps the entire time. "

Isabella R from Curitiba on Feb 11, 2025
