"For just one day of my life I wanted to visit New York, see Broadway shows with my kids, and soak in the best that Manhattan has to offer. After months of planning a group of five of us from Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin were able to get together for two shows. We saw Hadestown as a matinee on Saturday. It was the first time any of us had seen it. We were all very impressed. All the actors were superb; we couldn't even agree on which one stole the show because they all stole our hearts. The staging, lights, sound - impeccable. We were also amazed that the full house was pin-drop silent during the quiet moments, and roaring with applause and cheers from the first note to the last. Really a dream come true for me!"

Love this show!
"I have seen this show multiple times on and off Broadway. It never misses! The music is incredible, the story is heart wrenching! I know the outcome and I still find myself crying and anticipating. The character's are amazing and I love watching everyone's unique spin on how they play the characters. It's always slightly different, yet never changes the course of the story. If you want to see a show you'll definitely be singing in your car on the way home, Hadestown is a great choice!"

Not what I thought it would be
"I was surprised by the modern story line with just a hint of the Greek mythology and a lot of jazz motifs. I loved some of the rhyming lyrics that narrated the story and I was moved to tears with the love story. I went to this show knowing nothing and left singing the songs on repeat in my head. "

Hadestown ~ Unforgettable!
"This is an epic tale of love and loss and yet every time I see it I hope … maybe this time!! The actors were utterly phenomenal in New York and made it worth our while for this trip to see it before the cast change. It’s an incredible experience and the quaint theatre made the atmosphere that more poignant and memorable! Bravo !!"

Wow.
"Truly nothing can beat Hadestown. I flew from Washington state to watch this. Nothing has ever been more worth it in my entire life. Jack Wolfe and Morgan Dudley’s performance truly brought me to tears. Every time Jack Wolfe opened his mouth my jaw dropped. This was so incredible. Persephone was INSANELY TALENTED. I could not recommend a show more in my life. "

Big Entertainment
"We came for a winter escape with the goal of seeing a show every night that we were here. Made our selections and purchased tickets. HADESTOWN was not part of it. Last minute decision, we saw that HADESTOWN had 2 tickets left for the next days Tuesday matinee and because of what we had read, grabbed them. This show blew us away. Non-stop, dynamic music, (wonderful! singers), set design perfection and of course the story line-Greek mythology (do some prep work so your familiar with the story line) Loved the other 5 shows we saw, but this one, we would happily see again. And again. One of those shows that to us, define Broadway. "

My First Broadway Show
"I’m twenty-seven, lived in rural Florida for most of my life. Homeschooled to boot. The only theater I’ve seen is a middle school production of the little mermaid and the recording of Hamilton on Disney. I went to this show knowing nothing more than the basic story of Orpheus and that my wife loves Jack Wolfe.
I was, blown away. The stage, the lighting, the actors, the musicians. Every part from the greeting at the front door, to the final bows. I loved. My heart was on the floor watching Persephone. She was my favorite. Her voice flowed with the theme and the music so well.
I left this show thinking “this is why we have the arts.” Because survival is insufficient. We must live and feel life.
Thank you for holding that feeling of being alive so strongly.
To the world we dream about. And the one we live in now."

Wow.
"I am so glad that I went when I did. Every cast brings something different to the table but the cast on Feb. 7th brought the heat. Every person on stage blew me away and we loved it so much we came back the next day for the matinee with closer seats. The connection each actor made with the audience was truly unforgettable and while I’m sad to see this cast go, I cannot wait to see what they do next. Hadestown is a timeless story that everyone should experience and I think if you have the time, Walter Kerr should be your destination. "

A Living Myth: Why Hadestown Stays With You
"I remember reading somewhere that Hadestown has a kind of scenography that makes it feel timeless, and I couldn’t agree more. From the moment the lights come up, the stage exists outside of any specific era, blending industrial grit with mythic symbolism in a way that makes the story feel as ancient as it is urgently present.
At its heart, the musical tells the story of Orpheus and Eurydice: two young lovers trying to survive in a harsh world, clinging to hope through music and devotion. Their love story unfolds in parallel with the fractured relationship of Hades and Persephone, whose youthful passion has long since hardened into distance and control.
The show is rich with details (visual, musical, and narrative), that reward careful attention. It’s the kind of story that moves you deeply and leaves you wanting to experience it again, to catch the nuances you missed and relive the emotions it stirred.
The live orchestra elevates this feeling immeasurably. There’s something electrifying about hearing the music unfold in real time, especially when characters like the Fates weave their harmonies into the soundscape or when Orpheus sings in dialogue with the very instrument he plays.
“Wait for Me” is, without question, the most spectacular moment of the entire show. It’s the kind of theatrical moment that everyone deserves to witness live at least once.
I was lucky enough to attend a performance where Jack Wolfe played Orpheus, and his portrayal was nothing short of extraordinary. His voice carried both fragility and determination, capturing the essence of a dreamer willing to challenge the gods.
I traveled to New York just to see this show, and it was worth every mile. Hadestown isn’t just a musical you watch, it’s one that calls you back to its world long after you’ve left the theatre."

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.
