Composer and lyricist Anaïs Mitchell wrote the composition, verses, and narrative for the production Hadestown. It recounts a retold version of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Eurydice, a maiden in need of sustenance, sets out to work in a harsh industrial portrayal of the Greek underworld as a way to avoid poverty and chill temperatures. Her paramour Orpheus, a penniless singer-songwriter, sets off on a mission to save her.

In its debut Broadway launch, the Broadway production earned 14 Tony Awards nominations, securing eight coveted accolades. It attained itself the desired title of ‘Best Musical,’ greatly delighting the eager fans. The spectacle premiered on Broadway on April 17, 2019, gaining commendation.

The New York Times characterized it as "exquisite" and "mesmerizing," extolling its improvement from the New York Theatre Workshop version. David Rooney from The Hollywood Reporter termed it "absolutely fabulous," specially commending Gray and Page's superb performances.

TimeOut NY urges its audience to witness the marvelous performance of Hadestown. They expressed, “Here's my advice: Experience hell. And by hell, I mean Hadestown, Anaïs Mitchell's captivating and passionate new Broadway show. In short, the musical reinterprets the ancient Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice: A young man meets a girl, they fall in love, they face hardships, they go through trials, yet they find themselves in the underworld—sounds similar to a old story, doesn't it? But it's Mitchell's modern take on this enduring tale—and Rachel Chavkin's—that brought life back into this traditional narrative.”

Folks from Seattle, Washington, here's your moment to catch or revisit among the finest musicals of the present generation. The show's timeless tale of star-crossed romance is a must-watch!
