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.
"I loved the show especially the music. All the actors nailed it! The story is unique and interesting. Highly recommend "

"Great production, great performance. Loved the music. Interesting costuming. Excellent vocals. However, Hades voice was a little to mellow for the stage."

The cast and crew, talented and deserving of all awards and ovations. I truly hope to be able to go one more time. Soo touching and moving, full of emotion and feeling of love. "

"Amazing performance! The cast/musicians poured their hearts into the performance and brought my daughter to tears multiple times. I am not familiar with the story of Orpheus & Eurydice but Act II really tied everything together for me. The actors who came to the stage door were very generous with their time and took pictures with everyone who asked and signed everyone’s playbill. I believe it’s a show no one should miss!"

Captivating show with excellent performances
"I wasn’t sure what to expect from the show, but it turned out to be one of my favourites so far. All of the cast were great and so were the musicians. It was wonderful to hear the trombone so prominent in a number of the songs. The whole performance held our attention from the beginning to the end."

Spectacular
"As a professional musician, I’ve played a lot of music from musicals, and have found it, well, lacking. Not counting playing actual musicals, I’ve only been to see one, once: Wicked, and in my home town. The theater is enormous, the sound was uneven, even though the performers were obviously very talented, I thought I had seen my last musical - no need to go again. Well, until I happened to be in NYC and acquiesced to seeing Hadestown with my wife. O…M…G. it was spectacular. No, it was astonishing. I didn’t know Broadway theaters would or could be this “small” and intimate. The level of musicianship coupled with a crazy amount of energy truly blew my mind. To anyone out there who thought musicals were “meh,” go get your mind changed seriously, and see Hadestown. You. Will. Love. It."

My life was changed.
"Hi!! I walked into the show knowing most of the songs, but never watching the story in its entirety, and it was absolutely perfect. There were so many moments where I was brought to tears, even moments where that wasn’t the intention. The lighting, set, orchestra, choreography, and especially the little acting choices made by the cast really put me in the story. Hailey Kilgore and Carlos Valdes played Eurydice and Orpheus in such a genuine, real way. The story is truly so nuanced and in depth, but it may be difficult for those who aren’t theater connoisseurs, like me, to fully absorb. Regardless, if you have the opportunity to see this show, take it. This is my second broadway show, I got to go for my 16th birthday, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. My selfie with Carlos Valdes was a plus, too!"

Amazing show! The songs will get stuck in your head!!!
"From start to finish this show was amazing! The music and dancing were phenomenal! I laughed. I cried. And I’ve spent the last week singing the songs over and over in my head—the music is THAT good! I brought my 3 daughters to the show, ages 18, 15, & 12. We’ve never seen a Broadway show together. This was perfect! They enjoyed it as much as I did. We only wish we could have seen Hadestown everyday we were in town. Bravo to the whole cast and the team behind the scenes!!! What an amazing experience!!"

First Broadway experience! This musical is a must!
"From the very first note to the final curtain call, *Hadestown* was an absolute triumph. Jordan Fisher and Maia Reficco delivered show-stopping performances that were nothing short of magical. Fisher's Orpheus was tender, passionate, and magnetic, while Reficco’s Eurydice was heartbreakingly raw, powerful, and relatable. Their chemistry was electric and brought the timeless love story to life with breathtaking emotional depth.
The entire cast was phenomenal, each bringing their unique energy and talent to the stage. The seamless choreography, stunning set design, and hauntingly beautiful music all worked together to create an immersive journey into the underworld. Special shoutout to the incredible performances of Persephone and Hades – their dynamic was captivating and added layers of intrigue and intensity to the story.
*Hadestown* is more than a show; it’s an experience. The poignant storytelling, infused with jazz and folk-inspired melodies, hits every emotional note perfectly. It’s thought-provoking, heart-wrenching, and uplifting all at once.
Whether you're a seasoned theatergoer or a Broadway newcomer, *Hadestown* is an absolute must-see. Bravo to the entire cast and crew for creating an unforgettable evening. I would give this 10 stars if I could!"

Amazing Performances
"I was lucky enough to Maia and Jordan Fisher and it was soooooo worth it. I was moved to tears several times during the show by how powerful and touching the performances were. I've seen the show twice, but only once on Broadway. I've seen it with both a Hermes man and a Hermes woman and prefer the woman performance a million times more."

"I cried 3 times on the Subway back to my hotel. Jordan Fisher was the perfect casting choice. Maia Reficco is so talented that I can't believe she hasn't been on Broadway before. Philip Boykin blew me away with his voice, Lillias White was the perfect Hermes, and I can't believe Allison Russell is a self-taught vocalist. 10/10 musical, couldn't recommend more. Worth every penny. "
