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.
"Spectacular performance by all the cast and crew. I am a big fan of musicals, and this one made my heart full. A must see show if you are in NY."

"My friends are very into theatre, and I'm the only one who isn't a diehard fan but I might become one after seeing this show. Hadestown is incredible all around.
I went now specifically to see Jordan Fisher's Orpheus - which was STELLAR, his voice gave me chills all the way in the nosebleeds - but came out loving all of the cast. The lighting, props, and turntable/platform were used in a myriad of thoughtful, clever ways to tell a dynamic story on stage.
I've never felt so immersed in a show before. Truly, truly amazing. If you haven't gone, consider going for sure. "

"The singing was so incredible, there were so many moments I had goosebumps. The set is really dynamic and exciting for how much room they have to work with. The props and lighting add so much to the set, and overall I couldn’t think of a negative thing to say. Such a fun time!"

"EVERY single cast member was stunning and their voices were incredible! The sets were amazing and so detailed, the three rotations of the stage just added to how mesmerizing the entire production was!
The choreography was fabulous, the swinging lights and jerky movements in dance plus the rotation of the stages in the the miner scene was incredible! Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it!"

"I went in knowing all of the songs and my brother went in not knowing anything except this one verse I constantly sing out loud. even though we came into the show with different backgrounds, it was just as magical and moving for the both of us. The staging and intimacy of the theater makes you really feel completely captivated through each performance. The quality of the band was enhanced live compared to the recording. The actors were interactive with the audience without ever feeling like they broke the fourth wall and ruined the escapism factor. Costumes = 10/10 , Vocals = 10/10 (the fates... WOAH). The choreography was so fluid and a necessary aspect of the storytelling. It was a perfect show. Easy to follow along for my brother who came in blind and enhanced for me who loved the songs prior. "

"I watched it twice in the same week and I was lucky enough to see not only Jordan and Phillip as Orpheus and Hades, but also their alternates Brandon and Max. Every single artist in this play is AMAZING. Not just talking about the actors but the musicians too!! It's a fun play, but also steals a couple of tears if you get into the story. The music as we all know is amazing. To me it's literally a 5 star play."

"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)**
