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.
"Best show I've seen in years. Particularly liked the staging, consentrically ringed moving sections of stage. Fascinating. I also especially liked the characterizations of Persephone & Hades."

"Although this wasn’t my first broadway show it was my first show ON BROADWAY! And what a beautiful job the Walter Kerr Theatre did a creating a scene before watching the show by decorating the city streets! This show is not one you can just listen to, but MUST SEE to be completely immersed in the experience."

"I loved the singers and the theme and the power in the spectacles.
The last song was especially moving:
”But the ones who bloom in the bitter snow
We raise our cups to them”

"Very glad we picked this show. Whole cast was superb. I had heard some of the main songs on YouTube, and was happy to see that the whole song book was truly good — beginning to end. I went with a group of six folks. Everyone was left raving about the performance."

"I had no idea what Hadestown was about. No idea what to expect. My son chose this as his “must see” for our trip. I was blown away! The acting, the singing, the choreography, the music, the story line….all of it was amazing. I was able to know what was going on even though I had no prior knowledge. Several of the performers were understudies, and one of the performers it was her very first night! I didn’t know who was a vet and who was new, could not tell it at all. My son explained it all to me after the show.
The 2 performers that came out after for photos and autographs were so kind and gracious and patient.
This was our first ever on Broadway play, we’d only seen one off Broadway before (Hamilton in Alabama), and I am absolutely in awe!
We have 2 more (Gatsby and the Wiz) booked for this week. So excited and hooked!
Thank you Hadestown for being an amazing first experience! "
