Hadestown
<p>COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE.</p>
<p>Welcome to <em>Hadestown</em>, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony<sup> </sup>Awards<sup>®</sup> including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy<sup>®</sup> Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (<em>Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812</em>) is a love story for today… and always.</p>
<p><em>Hadestown</em> 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, <em>Hadestown</em> is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.</p>
