Amazing
"Hadestown was an amazing show. The theatre was gorgeous. I loved the musicians being incorporated into the show rather than in an orchestra pit, I loved the set design, all of the actors brought their characters to life in the best way and the way the ensemble (The Workers) were used was so impactful. Loved it!"

The kind of optimism we need now
"To rave about the sets, costumes, and incredible production values would be cliché, so I'll skip all that and say that Hadestown delivers the emotional range only possible if:
1. You have something to say that is essential to the human condition.
2. You have a deep love for both the form and tradition that you use for your message.
Hades didn't waste time.. it had two hours in a society without an attention span, the first song tells you where it will go, and how it will get there, in metaphors that are very recognizable.
The presence of Hades, despite having almost no lines in the first act, was undeniable. Just what you'd expect from someone who we got the word plutocracy from.
And the ending, oh the ending.
I returned to work that night with a feeling I can only describe as joy. When was the last time you saw art that could do that?"

Great from start to finish
"Loved this show. Amazing cast, lyrics and such a creative adaptation. Beautiful old theater. One complaint only — no leg room! We are both 5’9” tall and the seats are SO close together it’s uncomfortable — and also caused me to get whacked in the head by the lady behind me. Great staff — thoroughly enjoyed. "

Immersed in Magic!
"We came to see Hadestown because Allison Russell joined the cast. From the moment in line to enter even the theaters staff was amazing! It’s hard to understand how a small space can transformed into this magical story telling space. No matter where you look there was always something happening. We walked away talking about the chemistry on stage, how much we felt like we were in Hadestown, and how underrated the Fates are. Can’t wait to see it again!
We sat front row on the left side. The lights flashed on us often. However you get a truly immersive experience. Looking forward to experiencing this again from a different perspective.
The worst part for us was the excitement and waiting to get into the theater. It was difficult to contain our emotions.

TURNED me into a broadway fan!
"My friends are very into theatre, and I'm the only one who isn't a diehard fan but I might become one after seeing this show. Hadestown is incredible all around.
I went now specifically to see Jordan Fisher's Orpheus - which was STELLAR, his voice gave me chills all the way in the nosebleeds - but came out loving all of the cast. The lighting, props, and turntable/platform were used in a myriad of thoughtful, clever ways to tell a dynamic story on stage.
I've never felt so immersed in a show before. Truly, truly amazing. If you haven't gone, consider going for sure. "

Truly inspired!
"The modernization of this timeless story surpassed all my expectations. The aesthetic is inspired by modern culture in a way that is truly genius. There is passion in every detail — from the energy of the theater staff to the storytelling of the performers on stage. A moving work of art you need to experience for yourself. "

So much fun with all around amazing performances!
"The singing was so incredible, there were so many moments I had goosebumps. The set is really dynamic and exciting for how much room they have to work with. The props and lighting add so much to the set, and overall I couldn’t think of a negative thing to say. Such a fun time!"

Absolutely amazing!
"EVERY single cast member was stunning and their voices were incredible! The sets were amazing and so detailed, the three rotations of the stage just added to how mesmerizing the entire production was!
The choreography was fabulous, the swinging lights and jerky movements in dance plus the rotation of the stages in the the miner scene was incredible! Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it!"

Moving and Captivating
"I went in knowing all of the songs and my brother went in not knowing anything except this one verse I constantly sing out loud. even though we came into the show with different backgrounds, it was just as magical and moving for the both of us. The staging and intimacy of the theater makes you really feel completely captivated through each performance. The quality of the band was enhanced live compared to the recording. The actors were interactive with the audience without ever feeling like they broke the fourth wall and ruined the escapism factor. Costumes = 10/10 , Vocals = 10/10 (the fates... WOAH). The choreography was so fluid and a necessary aspect of the storytelling. It was a perfect show. Easy to follow along for my brother who came in blind and enhanced for me who loved the songs prior. "

It was outstanding
"I watched it twice in the same week and I was lucky enough to see not only Jordan and Phillip as Orpheus and Hades, but also their alternates Brandon and Max. Every single artist in this play is AMAZING. Not just talking about the actors but the musicians too!! It's a fun play, but also steals a couple of tears if you get into the story. The music as we all know is amazing. To me it's literally a 5 star play."

An about master-class in both performance and storytelling!!
"Perfectly, and INCREDIBLY talented, cast, amazing stage design, and a masterful telling of an timeless story all came together to deliver one of my favorite Broadway events of all time.
It seems unfair to me that THIS many talented and otherwise exceptional people can come together at one time and show an entire audience that magic is real in 2024.

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.
