Hadestown at Queen Elizabeth Theatre

Anaïs Mitchell wrote the music, lyrics, and book for the production Hadestown. It recounts a modernized version of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Eurydice, a youthful woman in need of sustenance, goes to work in a grim industrial depiction of the Greek underworld to evade poverty and freezing conditions. Her lover Orpheus, a penniless singer-songwriter, undertakes on a quest to rescue her.

In its debut Broadway unveiling, the show received 14 Tony Awards nods, securing eight coveted accolades. It attained itself the sought-after designation of ‘Best Musical,’ much to the eager fans. The presentation premiered on Broadway on April 17, 2019, receiving commendation. It was acclaimed for its direction and the exceptional performance of André De Shields. The New York Times characterized it as "exquisite" and "mesmerizing," commending its improvement from the New York Theatre Workshop version. David Rooney from The Hollywood Reporter termed it "absolutely fabulous," with a special mention of Gray and Page's superb performances.

TimeOut NY encourages its followers to enjoy the incredible interpretation of Hadestown. They expressed, “Here's my advice: Attend hell. And by hell, I'm obviously talking about Hadestown, Anaïs Mitchell's captivating and evocative new Broadway show. In essence, the show gives a new twist to the ancient Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice: Boy crosses paths with a girl, they fall in love, they face hardships, they go through trials, and they find themselves in the underworld—sounds like an old story, right? But it's Mitchell's contemporary version of this enduring tale—and Chavkin's—that breathe life back to this traditional narrative.”
