Didn’t know what to expect
"Visited NY was told to see wicked or lion king. My partner and I chose this show instead. So incredibly happy we did. Going in dark to the show allowed for these touching and excellent performances to grab us both. Amazing. "

My absolute favorite musical!
"I have seen shows on Broadway in both London and NYC. Nothing can compete to the talent that is Jack Wolfe. I almost bawled during “Wait for Me.” We need a soundtrack recording with this new cast. Such an amazing show and every single cast member had other worldly talent. This will forever be an amazing core memory. Please please please make a Hadestown soundtrack asap with this cast!"

First Broadway experience
"We were in New York for one day and saw what was available for Broadway that day. Hadestown looked interesting so we decided to go. Had never heard the soundtrack prior to this and went in fairly blind. We were blown away and would highly recommended this as a first time show or a hundredth show!"

This was the best show I’ve ever seen!
"I loved this show so much I went back to the matinee the next day! The cast with Jack Wolfe, Morgan Dudley, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Kurt Elling, and Paulo Szot is the best cast in this show’s history. I saw this show on Broadway in 2023 and liked it and have liked the soundtrack since, but this cast affected me on such a deep emotional level, I cried so much it was fantastic. All of them are such incredible performers that I cried even during the happier songs at how amazing they are. There are literally no words to accurately capture how incredible this was! Jack Wolfe is the best performer I’ve ever seen and was so much better in person than any movie/tv show, pro-shot or anything could have ever prepared me for. I expected the best of the best and he created a new level of talent and skill! Rebecca Naomi Jones blew me away! Her Persephone is incredible, I’d never seen or heard a performance of hers before, but this was the best first impression anyone could ever get! Go see this show with this cast while you still can! We hope we get a pro shot or cast recording of this cast, all of them surpassed anything I could’ve ever been prepared for!"

Multi layered updated retelling of a classic
"There's so much depth in the updates made to this classic tale that resound with the issues that face is today. A beautiful message of hope from a classic tragedy. The music, musicians, and cast are a beautiful pairing that brings chills and tears to the audience. This was my third time watching, I'm still catching nuances. I would go again in a heartbeat."

Jack Wolfe
"Jack Wolfe is the next Taylor Swift of dudes. Just use any of his voice in any commercial ever for broadway and you’ll always be sold out."

Amazing!!!
"This was a birthday present from my two sons and the three of us saw it last Friday night! We sat in the front row and were totally mesmerized by the talented actors and beautiful music! It met all our expectations and more! The theater is just beautiful and very comfortable. While there is basically only one setting, the way the performers move and use it is amazing…and the orchestra is amazing too. I would highly recommend Hadestown on Broadway to everyone. Both of my sons said the same thing…it is almost life changing!"

Exceptional New Cast
"I did not see earlier casts in this long-running Broadway musical; however, I have a hard time believing any could exceed this tremendously talented ensemble. I don’t want to single out any particular performer, but Kurt Elling as Hermes and Jack Wolfe as Orpheus were beyond outstanding. I cannot believe this is Elling’s first Broadway show. His Hermes was weeping after Orpheus doomed Eurydice to the Underworld while singing the Road to Hell (reprise). Jack Wolfe was spectacular as Orpheus. His angelic voice suited the role perfectly and his performance of Wait For Me was riveting. The emotion in his face, the determination in his eyes, and the strength of his voice were spellbinding. Just two incredible moments during an unforgettable show!"

Timeless themes yet very present!
"Hadestown provides a most excellent and compelling exploration of such ancient themes as love, hope, home, family and, yes, even faith. Its five major characters are clearly delineated as the action gathers power, force and nuance. The explosive ending will blow you away. The jazzy, bluesy music and singing are terrific. The acting is great and the set and costuming are right on. This is one for the ages. Don’t you dare miss it!"

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.
