What is Hadestown about?

Based on two classic Greek myths - young lovers Orpheus and Eurydice, and King Hades and his wife Persephone - Hadestown journeys to the underworld, as faith battles doubt, love fights fear, and industry struggles against nature. Orpheus and Eurydice are struggling through a barren winter, and when Eurydice is tempted by King Hades’ offer of a better life, Orpheus must travel down below to bring her home, with only his music to save him.

With a folk and jazz-inspired score of incredible songs including “Hey, Little Songbird”, “Wait For Me” and “Our Lady of the Underground”, this is a musical to raise a toast to and feel inspired by - and it is also hellraising fun!

A Tony Award-winning Creative Team

Hadestown boasts an incredible creative team who have made it one of the biggest new musicals of the last decade.
