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 performance. The talent is overflowing. The singing...musicians...and the Dance is amazing. "

My life was changed.
"Hi!! I walked into the show knowing most of the songs, but never watching the story in its entirety, and it was absolutely perfect. There were so many moments where I was brought to tears, even moments where that wasn’t the intention. The lighting, set, orchestra, choreography, and especially the little acting choices made by the cast really put me in the story. Hailey Kilgore and Carlos Valdes played Eurydice and Orpheus in such a genuine, real way. The story is truly so nuanced and in depth, but it may be difficult for those who aren’t theater connoisseurs, like me, to fully absorb. Regardless, if you have the opportunity to see this show, take it. This is my second broadway show, I got to go for my 16th birthday, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. My selfie with Carlos Valdes was a plus, too!"

Amazing show! The songs will get stuck in your head!!!
"From start to finish this show was amazing! The music and dancing were phenomenal! I laughed. I cried. And I’ve spent the last week singing the songs over and over in my head—the music is THAT good! I brought my 3 daughters to the show, ages 18, 15, & 12. We’ve never seen a Broadway show together. This was perfect! They enjoyed it as much as I did. We only wish we could have seen Hadestown everyday we were in town. Bravo to the whole cast and the team behind the scenes!!! What an amazing experience!!"

First Broadway experience! This musical is a must!
"From the very first note to the final curtain call, *Hadestown* was an absolute triumph. Jordan Fisher and Maia Reficco delivered show-stopping performances that were nothing short of magical. Fisher's Orpheus was tender, passionate, and magnetic, while Reficco’s Eurydice was heartbreakingly raw, powerful, and relatable. Their chemistry was electric and brought the timeless love story to life with breathtaking emotional depth.
The entire cast was phenomenal, each bringing their unique energy and talent to the stage. The seamless choreography, stunning set design, and hauntingly beautiful music all worked together to create an immersive journey into the underworld. Special shoutout to the incredible performances of Persephone and Hades – their dynamic was captivating and added layers of intrigue and intensity to the story.
*Hadestown* is more than a show; it’s an experience. The poignant storytelling, infused with jazz and folk-inspired melodies, hits every emotional note perfectly. It’s thought-provoking, heart-wrenching, and uplifting all at once.
Whether you're a seasoned theatergoer or a Broadway newcomer, *Hadestown* is an absolute must-see. Bravo to the entire cast and crew for creating an unforgettable evening. I would give this 10 stars if I could!"

Amazing Performances
"I was lucky enough to Maia and Jordan Fisher and it was soooooo worth it. I was moved to tears several times during the show by how powerful and touching the performances were. I've seen the show twice, but only once on Broadway. I've seen it with both a Hermes man and a Hermes woman and prefer the woman performance a million times more."

Sobbing
"I cried 3 times on the Subway back to my hotel. Jordan Fisher was the perfect casting choice. Maia Reficco is so talented that I can't believe she hasn't been on Broadway before. Philip Boykin blew me away with his voice, Lillias White was the perfect Hermes, and I can't believe Allison Russell is a self-taught vocalist. 10/10 musical, couldn't recommend more. Worth every penny. "

This musical has my heart
"The show was amazing. I went in there with expectations and only knowing 1 sound because I wanted to be surprised, and I was! From the very start, you’re entranced in the story, not only because of the storytelling but also because of the amazing music and how both the musicians and the actors perform it.
You’ll not regret going to see this broadway show!"

Incredible
"I got seats front left row, which is not ideal because you will miss some (just a few) moments or reactions because of the actors position in the stage. Having said that, I would have changed anything: getting to see the musicians, the actors and their faces up-close added so much to the experience.
The music, being able to see the band playing, and having the actors play some instruments and do some special effects as well, all makes it an amazing and beautiful experience.
The energy, the passion, the delicacy, the voices, the acting of all members of the show, everything is so well-balanced. You get the feeling that they are all having fun (although it's a sad song, a sad tale) and enjoying it along with you.
Would recommend it to everyone, and would definitely go and experience it all over again!!"

A timeless tale of hope and perseverance.
"From the soul-shaking vocals to the intricate choreography, the show breathes through the cast. Lillias White makes a powerful guide through Hadestown for the entire theater. Phillip Boykin gives a depth to Hades along with wit and presence. Allison Russell energized the audience as Persephone with her unforgettable ownership of the stage. Maia Reficco brings such soul with her effortless vocal delivery and has perfect chemistry with Jordan Fisher who is absolutely phenomenal and constantly beaming with gumption and passion. His voice makes every song unforgettable. Truly a Star! The whole band gives the production a beautiful heartbeat with overflowing talent. It is apparent that everyone involved in this production is connected with heart. It’s a beautiful thing to watch that unfold, through the joyful and tearful moments on stage."
