Hadestown Completes Casting for Broadway Premiere

Full casting is set for the Broadway premiere of singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell's acclaimed musical Hadestown. The previously announced main-stem staging, arriving direct from a celebrated production in London's West End, will begin previews on March 22 with an opening night set for April 17 at the Walter Kerr Theatre. Tony nominee Rachel Chavkin (The Great Comet) is the musical's co-conceiver and director, with David Neumann as choreographer and Liam Robinson as music director.

Newly announced cast members include Jewelle Blackman (The Lion King), Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer (In the Heights) and Kay Trinidad (The Little Mermaid) as the Fates. The chorus will include Afra Hines, Timothy Hughes, John Krause, Kimberly Marable and Ahmad Simmons, along with swings Malcolm Armwood, T. Oliver Reid, Jessie Shelton and Khaila Wilcoxon.

They join the previously announced Patrick Page as Hades, Tony nominees Eva Noblezada as Eurydice and André De Shields as Hermes, Amber Gray as Persephone and Reeve Carney as Orpheus, all reprising their work from the London production.

Hadestown is a musical retelling of the mythical quest of Orpheus (Carney) to overcome Hades (Page) and regain the favor of his one true love, Eurydice (Noblezada).

Hadestown will feature scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Michael Krass, lighting design by Bradley King and sound design by Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz, with arrangements and orchestrations by Todd Sickafoose.
