I cannot recommend this enough
"This is a masterclass in storytelling and will have you rethinking life after you have seen this show. The actors were phenomenal and the staging was utterly mindblowing. I audibly gasped at some of the set designs alone. The music will be stuck in your head for days and you will be left sobbing and wondering what can possibly bring you such emotion ever again. Please go see this show"

A Hauntingly Beautiful Descent Into Love and Loss
"What makes Hadestown exceptional is its willingness to embrace tragedy without cynicism. We know how the story ends but the show suggests that retelling the tale, hoping for a different outcome, is itself an act of resistance and belief in beauty. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest places, music, love, and hope still matter.
In short, Hadestown is a triumph: visually arresting, musically rich, and emotionally profound. It’s a show that sings to the soul and breaks your heart in the most beautiful way."

So Good I Cried ( multiple times)
"Hadestown was my first musical, on my first trip to New York, telling the story of the first book I read. I was already emotional, but damn, the music, the lyrics, the choreography, the decor, everything was mind-blowing. Actors are simply extraordinary. It was the best experience I could have asked for.

One of (if not) The Best Shows
"I have only really come to enjoy and attend musicals in the past decade, and in that time have seen several. This is truly one of the most powerful and visually stimulating performances I have seen. When the audience noticeably gasps and openly weeps, you know you are experiencing something special."

About
Hadestown
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.
