Last season, New York Theatre Workshop’s production of Hadestown took Off-Broadway by storm.
Directed by Tony nominee Rachel Chavkin (The Great Comet) with music, lyrics, and book by Anaïs Mitchell, Hadestown explores the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice and Persephone and Hades in a musical cornucopia of folk, rock, jazz, and more. The gritty, yet-stylized musical starred Damon Daunno as Orpheus, Nabiyah Be as Eurydice, Amber Gray (The Great Comet) as Persephone, Patrick Page (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) as Hades, Chris Sullivan (TV’s This Is Us) as Hermes, with Lulu Fall, Jessie Shelton, and Shaina Taub as The Fates.
In anticipation of its Canadian premiere—a pre-Broadway engagement—the live recording of Hadestown was released October 6.
