Amazing performance
The National Theatre - Washington
Hadestown is one of my absolute favorite shows and i am thrilled to be able to see it in person. The theater was beautiful, the actors were extremely talented, it was an amazing night. I cried so many times and i have this show memorized front to back. I was so convinced it was going to end differently this time!!!

Broad appeal with a wonderful cast
The National Theatre - Washington
I have been wanting to go to Hadestown for awhile but deliberately did not try to know what it was about. It was such a good story with so many diffrent threads. The cast was wonderful, the all had beautiful voices. The band was amazing. And having them on stage was a clever way to make them stars of the show.

Third Time!
The National Theatre - Washington
This was the 3rd time I have seen Hadestown . . . first was the OBC in 2019, second on tour at the Kennedy Center in 2021. This touring cast at the National Theatre was terrific! I love, love, love this show!!!

Great show, great voices
The National Theatre - Washington
Wonderful music and performance. Recommend reading up on the legend and story line before going. Occasionally hard to understand the words.

Loved it!!!
The National Theatre - Washington
I absolutely loved Hadestown. I saw it for the first time in Baltimore earlier this year and loved it so much I just saw it again in DC. It is definitely one of my new favorites! The storyline, the sets, the actors, the musicians (especially the trombonist!!!) were all fantastic!
Hadestown On Tour
COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE.
Welcome to Hadestown, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show by celebrated singer-songwriter Anais Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today... and always.
Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell's beguiling melodies and Chavkin's poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestownis a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
