Population: pain. Narrated by Hermes, conductor of souls, Hadestown\u2019s story follows the plights of young Orpheus and Eurydice in the hellishly industrial domain of King Hades. Stricken by debilitating poverty, our two innocent lovers find themselves at an impasse where one strives to hone his craft while the other agonizes about their survival. Eurydice, through the fervent urgency of the Fates, throws herself into Hades\u2019 labyrinthian factory, contracted to work for the rest of her days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Brave the capitalistic nightmare of the underworld with Orpheus as he embarks on a perilous journey to save his lost love.

I was right out of school, and I was very optimistic and a creative young person coming into the real world. I was up against a lot at that time, both politically and financially. I felt like Orpheus. He is this idealist and dreamer who then is put up against the way the world is,\u201d writer-composer Mitchell relates to the idealistic artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Hadestown\u2019s original version debuted in 2006, followed by a two-state tour in 2007 between Vermont and Massachusetts. Unsure about the production\u2019s future, creator Ana\u00efs Mitchell released it in 2010 as a concept album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In 2012, Mitchell teamed up with future Drama Desk awardee Ana\u00efs Mitchell, developing new songs and dialogue for the show. This second incarnation premiered Off-Broadway in 2016, which led to London and Edmonton productions and, eventually, its Broadway debut in March 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Hadestown\u2019s Broadway opening met resounding acclaim, receiving the most nominations in the 73rd Tony Awards with 14 categories clinched. It won 8, including the highly sought-after Best Musical and Best Original Score awards. It also racked up wins from the Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle Awards, which include Outstanding New Broadway Musical, Outstanding Director of a Musical, and Outstanding New Score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"366\" src=\"\/walter-kerr-theatre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/09\/8-1.png-1-1024x366.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4837\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left subheader text-primary\">Hadestown Cast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The cast of Hadestown consists of veteran and breakout talents in the theater scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reeve Carney as Orpheus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solea Pfeiffer as Eurydice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jewelle Blackman as Persephone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tom Hewitt as Hades<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lillias White as Hermes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amelia Cormack, Lindsey Hailes, and Brit West as the Fates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emily Afton, Malcolm Armwood, Chibueze Ihuoma, Alex Lugo, and Alex Puette as the Workers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Supporting our stars are dedicated swing performers, including Sojourner Brown, Brandon Cameron, Tara Jackson, Yael \u201cYaya\u201d Reich, Eddie Noel Rodr\u00edguez, and Tanner Ray Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Beginning September 5, Hadestown will feature Phillip Boykin as Hades and Betty Who as Persephone.
