Orpheus grieving for the loss of his love, Eurydice, begins to lose his penchant for music but soon embarks on a journey to the underworld in hopes to bring her back. But upon arriving, he finds out that Eurydice signed a contract to stay in the underworld for all eternity. Will this love story of Orpheus and Eurydice prevail?

This remarkable twist on Greek mythology is a staggering presentation of visuals and fantastic music. Each song has the ability to change one’s fate.

“Big, beautiful and emotionally blasting” – The Guardian

In 2019, Hadestown reigned Broadway like a king securing eight Tony Awards out of a whopping 14 nominations, four Drama Desk Awards, a Drama League Award, and six Outer Critics Circle Awards.

This fall, Hadestown continues its exhilarating North American trek with 20 more stops. The ensemble cast includes Nickolaus Colón as Hades, Namisa Mdlalose Bizana as Persephone, Megan Colton as Eurydice, and Bryan Munar as Orpheus. Audiences can count on the casting for roles for Hermes, The Fates, and The Workers to also be brilliant. Together this ensemble will be led by touring production director Keenan Tyler Oliphant who will be working based on the original direction by Chavkin.

Meanwhile, New York Times’ resident critic Jesse Green wrote, “Sumptuous. Gorgeous. As good as it gets. You wish you could live in the glowy moment forever.” Over at Hollywood Reporter, the review praised Chavkin’s amazing creativity, “Utterly fabulous. Rachel Chavkin is fearlessly innovative.
