'Hadestown': A Timeless Tale
'Hadestown' transports audiences to the underworld and back, weaving together the mythic love stories of Orpheus and Eurydice, and Hades and Persephone. This deeply moving and hopeful theatrical experience invites viewers to reimagine the world's possibilities. The musical has garnered widespread acclaim, winning 8 Tony Awards, including 'Best Musical,' and a Grammy Award for 'Best Musical Theatre Album.' The music, lyrics, and book are by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell, who originally conceived 'Hadestown' as an indie theatre project. Mitchell then collaborated with Tony Award-winning director Rachel Chavkin to transform it into the genre-defying musical we know and love today.
With Jack Wolfe leading the charge, 'Hadestown' is poised for another sensational run on Broadway. Don't miss your chance to witness this extraordinary production!
