The production continues to play at the Lyric Theatre until the 28th September 2025.
New casting for the West End production of Hadestown has been confirmed, as the production extends its stay in London into 2025.
It has been announced that Rachel Tucker (Sunset Boulevard, Come From Away, Wicked) will be taking over the role from Persephone from Gloria Onitiri and Trevor Dion Nicholas (Next to Normal, Hamilton, Aladdin) will be playing the role of Hades succeeding in the role first performed by Zachary James.
Beginning performances on the 15th October, the pair will be joining: Dylan Wood (Orphans, No Love Songs), who is making his West End debut as Orpheus, with Madeline Charlemagne, previously playing one of the Fates, now in the role of Eurydice. Melanie La Barrie stars as Hermes, while the three Fates are currently performed by Francessca Daniella-Baker, Bella Brown and Allie Daniel.
The company is completed by Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Beth Hinton-Lever, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short as the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Winny Herbert, Ryesha Higgs, Miriam Nyarko, 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.
