Mixing indie folk, pop and blues, Hadestown features music, lyrics, and book by acclaimed Tony and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winner Anaïs Mitchell, bringing the stories of orpheus and Eurydice and Persephone and Hades together. The musical is directed by Rachel Chavkin.
Anaïs Mitchell (Music, Lyrics & Book), said: “I’m thrilled that Hadestown will be touring across the UK and Ireland! Our West End casts have taught us that these songs sound right at home in every lilt and brogue… we are thrilled to bring this story and music to folks all over and see what new resonances will be found.”
Hadestown is the winner of eight TonyAwards on Broadway including ‘Best Musical’ and a Grammy Award for ‘Best Musical Theatre Album.’ The Original Broadway Cast Recording has become one of the most streamed cast albums of all time with nearly one billion streams to date and has recently been certified Gold by The Recording Industry Association of America.
The West End production continues to play at the Lyric Theatre.
