Description

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.

Recommended for ages 8 and up. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.

"Checked out by the interval. Utterly blown away by the end!"

One of the strangest, most memorable and brilliant theatre experiences I can remember. I’ve been meaning to check this one out for a while. I loved the look and vibe of it and blues and jazz appeals to me. Before going I’d read some reviews which were mostly glowing but some people just didn’t get on with it and found it difficult to get on with. For the first half I was firmly in the latter camp. I just didn’t connect with any of it. It was slow and meandering with not a great deal going on. It just seemed aimless. I’d checked out by the interval. But then the second half got underway and it all clicked. Without giving anything about the plot away, I was blown away by the power of the story telling, performances which were so great and filled with passion and conviction, and the music, my word it was up there with the very best. It’s as good as it gets. It was an emotionally beautiful and gut wrenching experience and by the curtain call I was reminded of the transportive power of theatre and just how profound it can be.

Went to broadway show in nyc - honestly was not good be it the acoustics / difficulty hearing voices to the cringy singing by Orpheus throughout. Just absolutely not worth it. Saw and Juliet and book of Mormons same weekend - stick with those, skip this one.

Wow! The music, signing and dancing was amazing. Hermes was our absolute favorite! The story was so good and you were absolutely drawn into it. The theater was smaller for broadway which just enhanced the experience of feeling so connected with the entire play! This should be your next broadway play!

"Spend $90 somewhere else"
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5
Reviewed July 12, 2025
Don't recommend- highly repetitive music numbers, extremely limited dialogue for a musical (think of it more as an opperetta) and weak story line (boy finds girl, loses girl, finds girl AGAIN, loses girl AGAIN- that's right, it's written twice because that's all that happened). If you want a showstopping number for every song, this is for you. Otherwise, I recommend Wicked or Book of Mormon
