Hadestown was the best musical I have seen in the past year! The actors/singers were amazing, the band was fabulous, and the sound, lighting and costumes were terrific.
Really enjoyed the performance. The performers, band, and sets were all stellar.
The story is ancient, but this Hadestown's message, script, costuming, set and music, are certainly applicable for today. Blending elements of moral conflict with finding imperfect love, the play sweeps you into the battle and the love story. Every detail in this show amazed me, while also challenging me with moral questions. Weaving political elements into the script, imposed another layer of moral questions. I did not come away with all the answers, but I came away mapping myself into this story and asking myself important questions. What would I do? What should citizens do?
Wonderful performances in an ancient story retold for our moment in time.
Hadestown touring was phenomenal. It has easily become one of our top 10 favorite shows. Emotional, powerful, incredible vocals, staging and lighting matched the songs and mood of the show perfectly. Can’t wait to see it again.
A great retelling of an old story. Strong singers. Great choreography.
Oh, where to start. I loved Hadestown, absolutely loved it. I experienced a wonderful surprise tonight at the Pantages theater. This musical was perfect: the performers with their singing and acting, the musicians in the band, who were on stage during the entire musical, the music they played, and the costumes and set. As Eurydice, Megan Colton’s voice and acting even had me falling in love with her. Nickolaus Colon was Hades himself. What a presence he makes: tall and handsome, with a deep resonating voice that shakes Hades itself. And I got to meet Namisa Bizana, who played Persephone, during the intermission. She complimented me for looking so dapper. I told her she was beautiful. She then asked me to take a quick selfie with her. I told her I did not take good selfies, as the picture of us together shows, but I managed to take one before the people recognized her and she had to run off. She is electrifyingly friendly and charming. Then there were the three muses. Two of them flirted with me during the entire first act, as I was directly in front of them and just feet away. The more I blushed and smiled the more they did it. They made my night, I must say. This musical embodies many themes: those of finding love, rekindling lost love, hope of surviving hardships and the elements of our reality, the joy of spring and sunshine, the appreciation of life, and mercy. Together they make this musical emotionally overwhelming. I felt closer to life and people during this musical than I have in a long time. Yes, this musical stirred in me emotions, thoughts, and things I am grateful for. What I felt and experienced during the performance were special to me, and I hope to remember them forever.
Amazing cast, gorgeous songs. Beautiful stage. I can’t believe I waited so long to see this.
Highly recommend! The cast was incredible, music was so good! I absolutely loved the message. Great show, go see it!!
I absolutely LOVED this show! From the opening scene, I was captivated by the sets, lighting, choreography, music, but especially the beautiful story. I loved every character and the touring cast was spectacular. I will definitely see “Hadestown” again and again!
