Two ancient love stories, one extraordinary musical

Hadestown intertwines two timeless Greek myths. Young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice are searching for hope in a difficult world, while King Hades and his wife Persephone face troubles of their own deep beneath the ground.

When Eurydice is drawn towards the promise of security in Hadestown, Orpheus sets out on a dangerous journey to bring her home. His music may be powerful enough to change the world, but escaping the underworld will take trust as well as courage.

Created by singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and director Rachel Chavkin, Hadestown blends poetic storytelling with a distinctive folk and jazz-inspired score. The result is a richly imagined musical filled with memorable characters, striking theatricality and music that stays with you long after the final note.

The production has won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well as the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. It has been seen by more than six million people and its music has been streamed nearly one billion times.
