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.
"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! "

"Loved the set design, choreography. Didn’t love Yola in her role unfortunately. The dancing with Hades was awkward, she had difficulty using the stage during solos."

"Can’t think of what I did not like - honestly. It’s new innovative - maybe an age old story yet enjoyed the retelling. All The actors were amazing - maybe there Are other innovative productions - and I don’t know about them. I loved the creative twist to the whole theme "

"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. "

"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."

"The songs were excellent; the stage was used in an interesting way. But there was no character development, even though I know it was on Hades and Persephine. It was short and the theater space was so small I barely had room for my knees. "

"Maybe I should have done more research but I thought a musical seemingly based in NOLA in the 1930s would feature blues music. Even though the cast was extremely talented and energetic, the songs all sounded the same to me, generic Broadway tunes."

"The stage was dreary and dark. They never changed costumes. they never changed sets. The songs all sounded the same. Horrible play."
