About the Show

Winner of the 2019 Tony Award for Best Musical, this is a new twist on the classic Greek myth.

Based on Anaïs Mitchell's concept album, this musical won eight Tony Awards (including Best Musical) plus the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album in 2020.

'Hadestown' is a poetic interpretation of two Greek myths: Orpheus and Eurydice; and Hades and Persephone. The indomitable Andre de Shields narrates the show as Hermes, weaving the tales of two pairs of lovers together with jazzy grit, flair, and tenderness.

Rachel Chavkin won a Tony for directing 'Hadestown,' making her only the fourth woman in history to win the Tony for Best Direction of a Musical.
