"Hadestown is one of the rare musicals where the hype is 100% justified. “Wait for Me” is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and several audience members around me were, like myself, crying real tears at multiple points during the performance. This one is not to be missed!"

Devastating, Hopeful Art
"There's not many moments in life where commentary on the devastation of humanity gives you scaffolding for a more hopeful outlook on life. Regardless of where you're coming from geographically and emotionally, this subject matter will strike you in the most raw corners of your heart. "If you can do it so can we." "

Blown away
"Took my son for his 15th birthday. We had already enjoyed seeing the traveling cast but were still absolutely blown away by the broadway performance. Everyone in the cast was brilliant. The staff of the theater were also amazing. We have been to a lot of theaters and this was the most attentive staff we’ve encountered. Amazing experience! "

Wonderful show!
"Hadestown was engaging from start to finish! We were amazed at the talent of the cast and musicians. My daughter loves mythology and really enjoyed the story. My husband usually falls asleep during musicals, but during intermission he said, "there is no way I'm falling asleep during this. It's really good!" As for me, I loved everything about it! Go see it, you won't be disappointed!"

Wow... Again please! Great on-stage musicians.
"Comedy, on-stage live music, mythically familiar, fun!
I can't pick a favorite in fear of lowering my review of any other outstanding aspect. I do love jazz. Observing the outstanding musical instrumentalists on stage was thrilling. I enjoyed listening to vocalists especially all ranges and dynamic impacts.
The story was familiar yet new and exciting.
I enjoyed getting to know each character. Perfect casting and arrangement of emotional expression.
I hope very much to see Hadestown again somewhere."

Review: Hadestown (Broadway)
"Hadestown is an emotionally charged experience that delivers on every level. The set design is both immersive and symbolic, transporting the audience straight into the mythic world of gods and workers. The vocal harmonies are rich and haunting—absolutely one of the highlights of the show. And the choreography is beautifully integrated, adding depth and rhythm to each scene without ever distracting from the story.
Whether you know the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice or not, Hadestown pulls you in with its raw emotion, powerful performances, and creative staging. Highly recommended."

"I loved the production, the actors, two major characters were subbed in and I cannot imagine the show without them. Hades voice !! And his character! So full of gravity! And Eurydice… she really had a great take on the character that pulled us into the story! Thank you to the hardworking chorus also. What a show! "

Understudy for Hades still brought the magic
"There’s always a sense of hesitation when you find out a headliner is unexpectedly absent and opening my playbill to see Boykin would be played by Alex Puette was no different. But, in a testament to the talent cast in every role of the show, Hadestown was just a gripping, magical, and devastating as I hoped.
Don’t be afraid if your show has a last minute casting change - the whole crew is ready and so are you. "

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.
