Hadestown is Anaïs Mitchell’s contemporary mythology adaptation of Orpheus and Eurydice’s love story. After drafting the original scores and scripts in 2010, she turned to decorated stage director Rachel Chavkin for assistance in 2012. Together, the twosome polished the play for public, off-Broadway showings that began in 2016. Hadestown would graduate from its modest beginnings to a sought-after spot on Broadway and other well-known stages in London and Canada, making it a world-wide sensation.
Welcome to the Underworld, where Hades runs a fruitful yet rigid factory called Hadestown. The below-ground workers perform their unceasing duties daily in hopes they’ll eventually earn their autonomy. Meanwhile, Orpheus and Eurydice take pleasure in a passionate courtship above ground, despite the tribulations of winter’s famine.
Once Hades forces his wife Persephone to return to Hadestown, an early winter sharpens above-ground hungers. Eurydice, affected by insatiable yearnings and influenced by the tempting song of the Fates, obsesses over the security Hadestown promises. She eventually finds herself in the underground industrial complex and signs a contract in exchange for survival.
Her contract entangles her, and it’s up to Orpheus to rescue his bride-to-be. But an unswaying Hades, pressured by his disquieted workforce, stands firm in the contractual agreement. Can Orpheus free his one true love with Persephone’s help? Or will Hades bind Eurydice to do his bidding for eternity?
In 2019, the musical won 14 nominations and eight awards at the 73rd Tony Awards. Hadestown would also claim a 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater. Its dazzling achievements and sold-out audiences demonstrate the play’s kinship with a modern era while combining classical elements from the past.
The Tony-winning Broadway show features two acts with more than 20 original songs performed by a exceptional cast.
