About Hadestown

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.

"Great show. Actors were brilliant and the set, music and dance were also brilliant. Story was a little difficult to follow but nothing a synopsis won't clear up"

"Very well done. Talented, hardworking cast. Enjoyable, but still, not a show I’d rush to see again."

"Interesting but underdone: this almost-classic love story staged between two worlds. Strong start, but then both script and direction fizzle despite the powerful themes and forces supposedly at play. The potential for subtlety and nuance seems under-explored despite the actors, for the most part, doing their work with admirable commitment. Characterization feels somewhat incomplete. Possibly because of casting, and costuming. One is left feeling that all the leads need to be more complex, more conflicted, more mired in their moral and emotional dilemmas and subsequently more triumphant in their eventual resolutions. Some of the gimmicky staging looks ok, but falls short of goose pimples and does not help much in the struggle for excellence. Needs tightening all around. Oh to have been there during development !!! But certainly go see it and decide for yourself. "

"The productions and the voices are great, but the story line is weak and I did not feel emotionally invested in any of the characters. "

"Loved the overall talent and incredible voices but the story fell short for me. With all the hype this play has gotten I guess I expected more. I found the story a little hard to follow and a bit rushed - especially the connection between Orpheus and Eurydice. I am glad I didn't bring my tween girls to this (they love broadway) but I think they might have been bored and confused. Don't get me wrong the singing and talent was incredible just didn't love the execution of the story."
