The production continues to play at the Lyric Theatre.
New lead casting has been unveiled for the West End production of the Tony Award winning production.
From the 27th August 2024, Dylan Wood (Orphans, No Love Songs) will make his West End debut as Orpheus, with Madeline Charlemagne (having been playing a Fate since the beginning of performances of Hadestown in the West End), stepping into the role of Eurydice. Replacing Charlemagne as one of the three Fates, will be Francessca Daniella-Baker (My Fair Lady), playing alongside Bella Brown and Allie Daniel. They join Zachary James as Hades, Melanie La Barrie as Hermes, and Gloria Onitiri as Persephone who continue in their roles.
In addition, Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Beth Hinton-Lever, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short continue to play the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Winny Herbert, Ryesha Higgs, Ediz Mahmut, Miriam Nyarko, Brianna Ogunbawo and Simon Oskarsson as swings.
Hadestown takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone.
A deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience, Hadestown invites you to imagine how the world could be.
The musical originally opened in 2016 at the New York Theatre Workshop before a production in Edmonton, Canada, and its sold-out run at the National Theatre in 2018. It went on to win eight Tony Awards including Best Musical.
Hadestown features music, lyrics, and book by Anaïs Mitchell and is directed by Rachel Chavkin. The creative team also includes: set design by Tony Award winner Rachel Hauck, four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Krass for costume design, two-time Tony Award-winner Bradley King for lighting design, Tony Award-winners Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz for sound design, and Obie Award-winner and Chita Rivera Award-winner David Neumann for choreography. Completing the team are: Liam Robinson (music supervision and vocal arrangements), Tony Award-winners Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose (arrangements and orchestrations), and Ken Cerniglia (dramaturgy). Casting for the London production is by Jacob Sparrow.
