Hadestown at Queen Elizabeth Theatre

Anaïs Mitchell wrote the composition, verses, and narrative for the show Hadestown. It tells a retold version of the ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Eurydice, a young girl struggling with hunger, goes to work in a grim industrial representation of the Greek underworld to escape poverty and freezing conditions. Her paramour Orpheus, a penniless singer-songwriter, undertakes on a journey to reclaim her.

Upon its initial Broadway presentation, the musical garnered 14 Tony Awards nods, winning eight prestigious awards. It attained itself the desired designation of ‘Best Musical,’ much to the enthusiastic fans. The spectacle premiered on Broadway on April 17, 2019, receiving accolades. It was acclaimed for its direction and André De Shields' outstanding portrayal in André De Shields. The New York Times described it as "exquisite" and "mesmerizing," extolling its improvement from the New York Theatre Workshop version. David Rooney from The Hollywood Reporter stated it "absolutely fabulous," specially commending Gray and Page's exceptional performances.

TimeOut NY encourages its readers to enjoy the incredible performance of Hadestown. They shared, “Here's my advice: Attend hell. And by hell, I'm obviously talking about Hadestown, Anaïs Mitchell's captivating and passionate new Broadway performance. In essence, the production reinterprets the classic Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice: A lad encounters a girl, they fall in love, they face hardships, they go through trials, and they find themselves in the underworld—sounds similar to an old tale, right? But it's Mitchell's contemporary version of this timeless tale—and Chavkin's—that infuse life back to this classic narrative.”
