A New York must see!! Worth seeing Again.

A perfect introduction to Broadway!!
"I brought my 18 year old daughter to New York for her spring break and she wanted to see Hadestown. Neither one of us have been to New York and this was our first Broadway show. All of the actors, the singing and dance numbers, and lighting were all superb. This show is a perfect introduction to the beauty and spectacle that is Broadway!!"

Recommend? Oh, you bet!
"Just an incredible experience from the moment the lights go down. The actor playing Hermes guides you through the Greek myth masterfully, and I don’t think the cast had a weak spot. I was a little iffy—I hate the Orpheus/Eurydice tragedy it’s based on—but the tragedy, while not soft-pedaled at all, does not detract from the enjoyment at all. The music drives the story, starting with a gospel rock/jazz feel and not really letting up even while going through plenty of other musical genres. Lighting and sets and sound all contribute. Add to all this the small-theater intimacy of Broadway, and it’s nothing short of amazing."

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.
