Description

About this tour

Combining elements of Greek mythology intertwined with a folk and blues-inspired score, Hadestown explores the complex love story of Orpheus and Eurydice in a post-apocalyptic world.

Orpheus, a talented musician, falls in love with Eurydice, a young woman who is searching for a better life. Together they plan to leave the bleak and industrialised Hadestown in favour of the above-ground world, where they hope to find happiness and prosperity. However, when the ruler of Hadestown offers Eurydice a job tempting her with the promise of security and comfort, she reluctantly accepts his offer, breaking Orpheus’s heart. Devastated by Eurydice’s decision, Orpheus resolves to go to Hadestown to rescue her, but will he succeed or will his love, and chance of escape, be lost forever?

Hadestown hits all the right notes..

The journey to the West End, via a trip to the underworld, has taken creator, Anaïs Mitchell, and her team over 17 years to complete. Originating in Vermont back in 2006, the production has since had many incarnations, playing in Massachusetts, off-Broadway, Edmonton, London, and Broadway before it finally landed in the West End.

The production has picked up a legion of fans everywhere it has played and has smashed records along the way. Due to overwhelming audience demand at the 2016 world premiere, the hellraising musical quickly became the longest-running show in the New York Theatre Workshop’s 40-year history. 

Hadestown marks the first time in over a decade that a woman has been the solo author of a musical: writing the music, lyrics, and book, and is only the fourth time in Broadway history that a woman has accomplished this creative feat. The previous productions headed by a woman were The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin, Runaways and A Tale of Two Cities.
