A love story that is one step ahead of itself
"Anyone having been interested in Greek mythology at any point will love this musical. The entire show is upbeat with awesome music and dancing. The stage set is unique and sets the pace for dynamic cast performances. I happened to see Tommy last year and the same actor plays the lead role of Orpheas in Hadestown as well. He is brilliant to say the least. This show has endured since before Covid and is absolutely worth the experience."

Exceeded our expectations!
"We were blown away by how such a familiar tale could be told anew and both make us think about current issues and yet at the same time allow us to sit back and just be in awe of the amazing talent and artistry of the musicians, actors, and all who had a hand in the production of the play. "

Loved it!
"The show was awesome. Loved the musicians being on stage. Each actor was perfect for the part. The man that played Hades had a voice that made James Earl Jones sound like a soprano. Persephone was so sassy. Loved her. And Orpheus was delightfully innocent. We were in the first row and could see Myra Molloy and Daniel Breakers tears. What actors!"

Take me to Hadestown!
"I took my 12-yo daughter. We both loved it and found it age-appropriate for her first Broadway show. Riveting performances, great music, singing and dancing. We waited at the stage door after the show and met a couple of the actors. "

Entertainment for all ages
"The show promised to be funny and energetic, and it delivered in spades. I had a 10-year-old and a seven-year-old with me, children that are used to going to the theater, and they had an amazing time. The content was appropriate for them, the historical pieces were not confusing, and while this musical is the modernization of a Greek myth, no background in mythology is required. We laughed and cried and were engaged the entire evening. 10/10, 5/5 would recommend my friends to see"

Hadestown was HOT in July!
"The talent, the story, and the music were phenomenal! Not a bad seat in the theater. A smaller cast for a Broadway show, but the energy was high and the crowd clearly enjoyed this epic love story that takes you way down under. "

Off the charts
"The singing is incredible! If you like lighting, costumes, and set they’re also great! The music is also stellar! If you’re there to see the dancing this isn’t the show. The choreography really supports the story and isn’t the focus. But the ensemble is fantastic! I cried because the singing was so beautiful. This is where the magic is at for this show. Hands down the best Broadway show I’ve seen in my (small) experience. I would happily see it again. "

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, singers, dancers, and musicians, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
