Simply incredible
"First I knew nothing about the show, so everything was a surprise. The music.. very New Orleans ish. Bluesy.. jazzy.. Hermes’ vocals were out of this world great. That’s not to alight the other actors. They were all spectacular. For a first timer, be prepared to be blown away by the story, the songs, the vocals and that trombone! Note: the other musicians were great too."

So much talent
"This show is genuinely so good and every single person on that stage has so much talent I can’t recommend it enough. I wish I could’ve recorded everything with my eyes and brain and have it memorized forever. I know they do multiple shows every week and they definitely gave it their all when we saw them. Definitely worth a visit to NYC to see the beautiful Walter Kerr. "

Stunning, Jaw-Dropping, Easily the Best Performance of the Show I’ve Seen
"I traveled to NY with the hopes of seeing my favorite musical on Broadway, and I was not disappointed. Every single member of this cast performs like their very life and soul depend on it. Jack Wolfe and Morgan Dudley INVENTED yearning, and the grief and mourning and love displayed is palpable. Allison Russell and Paulo Szot blew me away, and I will never be able to listen to Epic III without sobbing again. Kurt Elling has the entire audience eating from the palm of his hand, and I could not emotionally stand the change in tone from the beginning to the end of this sad story. Each fate, swing dancer, and musician told the story individually, and I truly cannot recommend this performance enough. Hadestown, you have my heart and this cast solidified that feeling for me. Thank you for sharing your talents and passions, and I continue to raise my cup for “the world we dream about and the one we live in now.” "

Would see again
"I didn't know what to expect at the start of the show, I was only accompanying my son, but I was moved by the storyline, loved the music, and had a laugh or two as well."

a must-see, Jack Wolfe and Morgan Dudley are starssssss
"Such a phenomenal show but the current principal cast is just amazing- Jack Wolfe and his talent should have made his Broadway Debut years ago, he has one of the most impressive voices and compelling character choices EVER. Morgan Dudley has such a way with emotion and her powerful voice, she is a perfect Eurydice. Kurt as Hermes is perfection as well + Allison as Persephone and the chorus! I’ve never felt so strongly about a non-OBC cast. They’re truly perfection <3 "

The whole package
"Hadestown is a classic Greek tragedy in a New Orleans style setting. The music, set design, voices, dancing, and storyline were all stellar. Clearly deserving of all the Tonys it has won. "

The best show I’ve seen in years
"I walked into the show having never seen it but loving the soundtrack. I know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice very well and thought it was going to be the same old story. From the second the cast walked on stage, though, I knew it was different. I was immersed in the story in a way I’ve never been with any other show, and I was slack-jawed the whole time. Between the set, the orchestra, and the actors, this is a show you do NOT want to miss. Jack Wolfe and Morgan Dudley brought the show to the people, and Tara Jackson brought life and whimsy to Persephone that I didn’t expect to see at all. I will say, it’s a bit heavy for younger audiences. I cried multiple times for more than just shock and sadness, and it might be visually overwhelming for younger kids or folks who are sensitive to lights and/or strobing effects. Overall, though, the best broadway experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve had quite a few. "

Hadestown - Amazing from beginning to end!
"This cast is incredible!!! The musicians live on stage can not compare to hidden musicians in the pit! I loved this story, the music, the singing, the dancing, the acting!!! I can not wait to see it again! I also loved how supportive the cast was of each other as the show I saw had an understudy playing the role of Persephone! She was amazing! So much love on that stage!

Great Performance!!
"Each of the singers were astounding!! The band was amazing too! Seats in the mezzanine are a little snug. At 5’7” my knees were definitely feeling it. But that did not take away from the show. The whole team at the Walter Kerr Theater were amazing. 10/10 would recommend!"

We loved everything about it!
"Dear Hadestown Team, My family and I viewed Hadestown on Broadway in New York City, this weekend and we felt it was necessary to write and share just how extraordinary the experience was. We went in knowing very little about the musical as it was recommended to us by a friend. From start to finish, we loved absolutely everything about the production. The music was stunning, the choreography captivating, and the singing was spectacular. The use of lighting was especially mesmerizing and added so much depth and emotion to the storytelling. Every element worked together so beautifully that we found ourselves completely transported. Hadestown is now, without question, our favorite musical. Thank you for creating such a powerful, moving, and unforgettable work of art. We will be thinking about this show for a very long time. With immense appreciation, A grateful audience member"

See Wolfe Before He is Gone!
"While the overall experience was visually thrilling (a rotating stage, swinging lights, and a stellar jazz ensemble), my highlight was Jack Wolfe as Orpheus. From his subtle and tender moments to his impassioned Wait For Me, I was captivated every second. Which is saying a lot because there were so many talented singers on stage. I would definitely recommend catching this show before Jack’s gone!"

A poetic masterpiece
"This show is amazing. It touches your soul and speaks to you on a deeper level. The music is amazing and the lyrics are so poetic and filled of meaning and interpretations You can analyse this work of art and disect its multiple meanings. I must say that it touched me, like Orpheus touched people. Simply life changer."

Mythology - funky and wild - served by fantastic talent
"Everything had a jazzy, funky cool vibe. The opening was dynamic and also efficient, introducing everyone. Orpheus voice was astonishing- never heard anything like it! High and light but powerful. All the voices were super, down to Hades booming basso profundo. All musicians visible on stage and part of everything which I love. The stage was innovative with circular moving areas with an up/down center. I recommend this show very highly. You’ll have a great time. The curtain call was as classy as anything ever. Kudos to Hermes for his wicked funky cool vibe!"

Beautiful, worthwhile show with an excellent cast
"The current cast of Hadestown is bringing a fresh take to an already incredible musical. The acting, especially from Eurydice and Persephone, brings a new level of depth and pain to the roles. You can see all the thought these actors have put into everything they sing and say. Vocals are also amazing, especially from Orpheus, who is out of this world. The live band plays their heart out, and seeing them onstage alongside the actors is a special and unique part of the experience. This whole cast has great chemistry and works together very well to tell a heartfelt, tragic, and hopeful story. It feels like they’re welcoming the audience in to join them on the journey. I laughed, I cried, and I left a little different than when I came in. Worth every penny."

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.
