Synopsis

Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. This acclaimed musical by singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and director Rachel Chavkin is winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Grammy Award® for Best Musical Theater Album. It intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and Queen Persephone — as it invites you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, singers and dancers,  HADESTOWN asks audiences to imagine how the world could be.

​

Audience Note: While HADESTOWN - Teen Edition is a full-length adaptation created for younger performers and family audiences, it retains the show's dark emotional themes, some mature language, and depictions of loss, making it suitable for older children and teenagers.
