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.
"A beautiful adaptation of a classic greek tragedy. Dedicated actors, great performance! This is something you should see!"

"I was lucky enough to watch the Toronto production, which was awesome, but oh my good gracious, the Broadway production is absolutely phenomenal. Jordan Fisher and Maia Reficco as Orpheus and Eurydice were beautifully powerful. Phillip Boykin as Hades, Yola as Persephone, and Stephanie Mills as Hermes were equally as stupendous. The “hardest working chorus” does not disappoint, and the musicians on stage are truly a class of their own. Cannot recommend this production and cast enough! Would sell my soul to Hades to experience this again for the first time!"

"Everything came together perfectly. The actors/singers and musicians all did a phenomenal job. The plot itself was well crafted to really incite strong emotions and draw you in. A lot of care was taken in the small details that really led to a top-tier experience. I would love to live nearby and go every night if I could.
The worst part for me was the chairs, not only are they quite small for a tall person like myself, but also there was almost no leg room. I found myself having a hard time focusing a few times as my foot and leg were cramped at a weird angle."

"I loved this show. I'm a little biased because I am a fan of Jordan Fisher and was so excited to see him perform on stage as he's so talented but I was blown away by the rest of the cast as well. Going into Hadestown I had limited knowledge of the content of the play but I thought it was very entertaining and that the music and staging worked extremely well for the storytelling. With such a limited cast, I know that this show can change a lot depending on who's on stage which only makes me want to see it over and over again to see what other actors bring to the characters. I guess that's something to be said about most shows but again, I think with so few folks on stage, it really makes a difference here. The performance I saw was extremely soulful (which I loved and probably prefer, Maya Reficco brought so much heart and strength to Eurydice) but I suspect other lineups would change the flavor completely. With that being said, I'd also just love to see this cast again as they did such a great job."

"The show was absolutely phenomenal, from the execution of the theatre to the masterful performance of every cast member. If you are a fan of the show, and even if you’re not, I urge you to watch one of the most spectacular shows ever produced on Broadway. The actors have a way of pulling you into their world, you won’t even realized you’re entrapped until you’ve hit intermission. An experience that’s unforgettable and truly heart wrenching, I will definitely be coming back to see more of this highly talented cast!"

"I was so pleasantly surprised by this performance. I had listened to the songs and seen some clips before attending, but wow did it impress me to see it in person. Very talented actors and musicians supported by a very well put together set and costume design. You can tell everything was so intentionally designed to enhance the experience of the performance. It was never just a table or a box, every prop had purpose and the cast interacted with everything so beautifully. If you know the Greek story, you know how it ends. But the way this show ended still stung so deeply and made the audience have to seriously question their own morals and perceptions. "
