We almost cancelled but glad we didn’t! Blown away at the talent, the choreography, the music.
The cast was phenomenal top to bottom! Every voice was spectacular! Our entire crew of 7 thoroughly enjoyed it. Great, great experience! The only negative I could give is that there were no physical playbills, only digital. We always keep our playbills so it was a bummer not to have one from a play and a cast we so enjoyed.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, as my two daughters were RAVING about Hadestown. I bought tickets as an early Christmas gift for the family. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the show, as much as, if not more than, the girls. We would love a sound track of these talented performers! We would definitely see it again!
This was a great production! The theater was comfortable, the sound was clear, understandable, and not too loud. The cast was outstanding and also diverse in body types. I think I liked this Mr. Hermes more than the one I saw on Broadway. Even without the rotating/retractable circle that was used on the Broadway production, the staging was excellent. I would highly recommend the touring Company.
I took my teenager to see Hadestown touring in DC which she says is her favorite Broadway show even though she’s never seen it in person. The cast was absolutely flawless with the most amazing baritone, falsetto, and soprano voices I’ve heard in recent memory. The acting was on point including the supporting roles. The live musicians on stage were appreciated and so fun. I would definitely see Hadestown again, especially if it were this cast. Icing on the cake, we stayed after and got autographs from the majority of the cast including Hades, Orpheus, and Eurydice, and my teen got a picture with Eurydice which just put her over the moon!! Thank you Hadestown cast and crew for an amazing experience! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I went to the 10/28/2025 show at the Pantages and it was so amazing. The cast is so super talented and so awesome. 10/10 recommend!❤️
My wife and I loved Hades Town. The story and the set were wonderfully done. But what made the night special was the cast. All were simply outstanding in making this story of Orpheus and Eurydice come alive with pathos and humor. The talent on display was amazing from top to bottom; hard to believe this was a touring company. It was a great performance and put some magic in the air.
From the time the cast hit the stage until the end the entertainment was non-stop. The singing, dialog, dancing, musicians and the OVERALL cast was AWESOME....Thanks for the experience.
Please note, if you purchase seats in the Balcony Row A for this show, you'll have a significantly obstructed view by the light rigging - with no discount given or prior notice that the seats have an obstructed view. We were very disappointed this evening that we could not see substantial portions of the show in these seats, despite having paid full price: Section LBALC, Row A, Seat 5 Section LBALC, Row A, Seat 7 Section LBALC, Row A, Seat 9 Section LBALC, Row A, Seat 11 Section LBALC, Row A, Seat 13
Top notch cast with nuances that made the performance fresh for those of us who’ve already seen it. Superb!
