Here’s hoping we don’t have to wait too long!
With music, lyrics, and book by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and direction by Tony Award-winning Rachel Chavkin, Hadestown has captured hearts worldwide.
The genre-defying musical blends folk, jazz, and blues with Greek mythology to tell the mythic love stories of Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone. With its haunting melodies, soulful performances, and striking visuals, it’s no surprise that Hadestown has become one of the most celebrated musicals of our time.
The show first wowed UK audiences during its sold-out 2018 run at the National Theatre before transferring to Broadway in 2019, where it swept the awards season, earning eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well as a Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album.
