Greatest Cast In Broadway History
"If I could give this show 11/10 stars then I would! This cast is some of the most talented and kind hearted human beings in all of Broadway history! Especially Maia Reficco, who took a few minutes to say hello to me today. She really made my day, perhaps even my whole year! I’d recommend everyone buy tickets to see her and Jordan Fisher in “Hadestown” ASAP! "

Exceeded expectations
"Loved the set design, choreography. Didn’t love Yola in her role unfortunately. The dancing with Hades was awkward, she had difficulty using the stage during solos."

New cast, strong energy
"The new principal cast was very good and generally on par with the original cast. Hermes, Orpheus, Persephone and Hades were particularly strong. Music is great. Enjoyable evening.
Generally, children under the age of 13 would likely not enjoy this show as opposed to other subject matters."

Great show, especially the music is amazing
"Loved it, but I do recommend lower level seats; we were seated at the upper (second) balcony and it was difficult to enjoy the music and follow the conversation."

Good Show, First Half Confusing..
"Overall, this was a wonderful performance. The cast were very talented and we enjoyed the singing and dancing. Knowing the original Greek myth, we were a bit confused with Orpheus and Eurydice’s meeting in the first half. Was that a diner? We really wished the writer would have started the story with them already engaged. The second half was much more familiar and enjoyable."

I enjoyed it more than my wife
"I think the key was that I knew the story better before it started. My wife was trying to follow the nuances of the story and could not enjoy the performances as much. Maybe do a bit of research before you go so you can focus on the talented cast. We had the understudy for Orpheus. I cannot say I liked his voice as much as the others."

Highly recommend
"A great rendition of the tale or Orpheus and Eurydice. If you do not know much about Greek mythology I recommend brushing up a bit. However, if you read through the playbill beforehand they do a great job at setting the scene. "

. Infused with Young blood, the script/ lyric's- the acting all superb
"Can’t think of what I did not like - honestly. It’s new innovative - maybe an age old story yet enjoyed the retelling. All The actors were amazing - maybe there Are other innovative productions - and I don’t know about them. I loved the creative twist to the whole theme "

Excellent performance and design, somewhat thin story.
"The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice can be told in a single paragraph--that's its power and its limitation. *Hadestown* gets creative with the myth, the characters' motivations, and contemporary applications, but in the end, one can't help feeling that the story is thin. Nonetheless, the performances are terrific. My young-adult children, who know all the songs, loved the show and thought it the highlight of our visit to New York. I wasn't moved by the show, but I was entertained and impressed. Kudos to the designers and all the performers. "

Rousing musical with live music
"I loved the use of Greek myth for a storyline. However the delivery came across a honey tonk, which I didn’t expect. The audience age averaged 16 and there was so much audience hooting and yelling hat it took away from the performance. The volume of the performance during the first half was almost enough to drive us to leave the theater. Perhaps in a better, larger venue, with seats that weren’t so tight, and a more sophisticated audience we would have liked it better. The performance was polished. The music was great. "

Boring. Not exactly my cup of tea.
"There were funny moments and dull moments. I felt bored in the middle of the show. Lyrics were not easy to comprehend. Some part of singing were high pitched not melodic. Male protagonist had a nice voice and really delivered emotionally with his guitar. The repetitive motion from supporting performers was boring. Ending part was powerful. Story line was metaphorical and profound. Yet sitting in a cramped space with very limited leg room, super busy and unavailable restroom (should have renovated for more toilets) and unfriendly impolite staff didn't make my experience pleasant.

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.
