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.
"Loves the stage, costumes, and music. It was incredible."

"Jazzy musical based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice (spoiler risk if you Google it!). We flew in from out of town to cram Great Gatsby, Merrily We Roll Along, and Hadestown into a 24hr period, and Hadestown was our favorite of the three. The music was great! We went back and listened to the original cast soundtrack afterwards and we actually preferred the current cast! Orpheus and Eurydice and Hermes in particular were great when we went. The story is gripping and engaging and there are some awesome visuals. The Act 1 Finale in particular has some epic lighting choreography. I think the story and characters are too intense for elementary age kiddos, so I wouldn’t recommend it for the full family."

"This show was so beautiful and creative within its space. It easily has become a favorite.
So many fascinating parallels to current cultural and political issues.
I recommend getting familiar with the basics of the characters and the original Greek mythology.
Probably most interesting for older teens and above. "

"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! "
