Hadestown is a musical by Anaïs Mitchell that reimagines the ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice as a timeless allegory for our world. It follows two intertwining love stories: that of Orpheus, a passionate and talented musician, and Eurydice, an independent and resilient young woman, who fall in love at first sight; and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone, who rule the underworld. The musical invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back, where Orpheus tries to save Eurydice from Hades' grasp. Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
