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.
"What a fantastic casting for the play! It was as if the songs were written just for them! I feel so fortunate to be able to see this show while on my trip to NYC. "

"There are some sequences depicting journey into another world - those are absolutely awesome!
The climax part really drags on, could've used some sharper writing. Still the first 80% of the show more than makes up for it"

"The music and production was amazing. The story was literally a Greek tragedy and had me crying more than once but I would definitely go back and see it again. Every member of the cast was wonderful and the singers were phenomenal! The songs have also been stuck in my head for days now and I'm not complaining.
The only slight issue I had was that the music, at times, was louder than the singers and I didn't hear some of the words but I figured it out and really didn't mind overall.
Please see it if you get the chance. "

"If I could give this show 11/10 stars then I would! This cast is some of the most talented and kind hearted human beings in all of Broadway history! Especially Maia Reficco, who took a few minutes to say hello to me today. She really made my day, perhaps even my whole year! I’d recommend everyone buy tickets to see her and Jordan Fisher in “Hadestown” ASAP! "

"Loved the set design, choreography. Didn’t love Yola in her role unfortunately. The dancing with Hades was awkward, she had difficulty using the stage during solos."

"Can’t think of what I did not like - honestly. It’s new innovative - maybe an age old story yet enjoyed the retelling. All The actors were amazing - maybe there Are other innovative productions - and I don’t know about them. I loved the creative twist to the whole theme "
