Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show from 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.
As you travel down this road, we’ve got some resources sent from the gods themselves. Unfamiliar with the story? Below is a synopsis of each myth, characters and a study guide to get you started. Discover the sound and feel of HADESTOWN with the Original Broadway Cast Recording. It’s a sad song, but we have a feeling you’re going to want to sing it again.
