"My 15-year-old son and I saw Hadestown this week, and we both are absolutely in love with this show. Beautiful music, story, incredibly talented performers, and the tech on this show was just so amazingly beautiful. I wish I could see it again (and again and again and again...). Go see this show; you won't regret it. "

Amazing show!
"We loved the show. The singers were amazing and we had goosebumps during some of the more emotional songs. The stage design was done very cleverly - it was more simple than some other Broadway shows and did not distract from the performance, but set the scene very well.
We wish we could see this show again for the first time!"

Amazing show, phenomenal cast, and great music!
"I have been to a number of Broadway shows and this ranks in my Top 5. The cast showed strong emotion in their acting and great range with their voices. It was both funny and sad at different points during the performance, and we left the theatre raving about the show. "

Truly Electrifying!
"This is an adaptation of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Told in modern terms, in modern dress, it stayed close to the original story. All of the actors were superb and the music drew the audience in. Highly recommended for ages 12 and up "

Just WOW!
"Hadestown is one of the rare musicals where the hype is 100% justified. “Wait for Me” is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and several audience members around me were, like myself, crying real tears at multiple points during the performance. This one is not to be missed!"

Devastating, Hopeful Art
"There's not many moments in life where commentary on the devastation of humanity gives you scaffolding for a more hopeful outlook on life. Regardless of where you're coming from geographically and emotionally, this subject matter will strike you in the most raw corners of your heart. "If you can do it so can we." "

Blown away
"Took my son for his 15th birthday. We had already enjoyed seeing the traveling cast but were still absolutely blown away by the broadway performance. Everyone in the cast was brilliant. The staff of the theater were also amazing. We have been to a lot of theaters and this was the most attentive staff we’ve encountered. Amazing experience! "

Wonderful show!
"Hadestown was engaging from start to finish! We were amazed at the talent of the cast and musicians. My daughter loves mythology and really enjoyed the story. My husband usually falls asleep during musicals, but during intermission he said, "there is no way I'm falling asleep during this. It's really good!" As for me, I loved everything about it! Go see it, you won't be disappointed!"

Wow... Again please! Great on-stage musicians.
"Comedy, on-stage live music, mythically familiar, fun!
I can't pick a favorite in fear of lowering my review of any other outstanding aspect. I do love jazz. Observing the outstanding musical instrumentalists on stage was thrilling. I enjoyed listening to vocalists especially all ranges and dynamic impacts.
The story was familiar yet new and exciting.
I enjoyed getting to know each character. Perfect casting and arrangement of emotional expression.
I hope very much to see Hadestown again somewhere."

Review: Hadestown (Broadway)
"Hadestown is an emotionally charged experience that delivers on every level. The set design is both immersive and symbolic, transporting the audience straight into the mythic world of gods and workers. The vocal harmonies are rich and haunting—absolutely one of the highlights of the show. And the choreography is beautifully integrated, adding depth and rhythm to each scene without ever distracting from the story.
Whether you know the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice or not, Hadestown pulls you in with its raw emotion, powerful performances, and creative staging. Highly recommended."

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.
