About the show:

This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.

Don't miss this one. A show that has won:

Winner! Eight 2019 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Orchestrations

Winner! Four 2019 Drama Desk Awards

Winner! Six 2019 Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Outstanding New Broadway Musical
