"This show was absolutely amazing. By far my favorite I have seen. So beautiful and moving with an insanely talented cast. You could hear the collective gasps from the audience - it was so heartfelt and heartbreaking and hopeful. If you come to New York to see a show, make sure it’s Hadestown. The current cast is absolutely exceptional, so don’t miss your chance!"

Best musical performance
"I was completely blown away by this performance. I knew the soundtrack and thought I knew what to expect but at every turn I was completely enthralled by the stage performance, lighting, set design, choreography, etc. Don't tell Phantom, but I'm cheating on him with Orpheus!"

Just my type of show
"I think if you don't like the southern style blues or jazz it might not be for you but the mix of that and my love for mythology and my girlfriends love for theater it fit us so well."

A thought-provoking telling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth!
"Hadestown was a brilliant mash-up of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth and the Hades and Persephone myth. The musical takes its time to portray the psyche and motivations of each major character. Also, the music is fantastic and feels unique. Overall, Hadestown is a unique musical that is worth watching, especially for fans of Greek mythology!"

One of The Greatest Theatre Experiences of My Life
"Starting this show I was unsure what to think. The stage looked a little cramped and the story took a minute to get going but once it did I was blown away by the coreography, the staging and the use of light.
This is a must see and I highly recommend sitting somewhere in the middle. "

Hadestown is an ABSOLUTE MUST
"I was lucky enough to watch the Toronto production, which was awesome, but oh my good gracious, the Broadway production is absolutely phenomenal. Jordan Fisher and Maia Reficco as Orpheus and Eurydice were beautifully powerful. Phillip Boykin as Hades, Yola as Persephone, and Stephanie Mills as Hermes were equally as stupendous. The “hardest working chorus” does not disappoint, and the musicians on stage are truly a class of their own. Cannot recommend this production and cast enough! Would sell my soul to Hades to experience this again for the first time!"

A wonderful story beautifuly crafted and executed.
"Everything came together perfectly. The actors/singers and musicians all did a phenomenal job. The plot itself was well crafted to really incite strong emotions and draw you in. A lot of care was taken in the small details that really led to a top-tier experience. I would love to live nearby and go every night if I could.
The worst part for me was the chairs, not only are they quite small for a tall person like myself, but also there was almost no leg room. I found myself having a hard time focusing a few times as my foot and leg were cramped at a weird angle."

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.
