New York has been graced by the production as it currently runs since
2019, but the history of this musical goes all the way back to Vermont in
2006 and its original conception.
The brain child of the legendary Anaïs Mitchell,
this musical mixes Greek mythology with folk, pop and blues music to tell
the tragic story of Orpheus and Eurydice, as well as that of Hades and
Persephone.
Nominated for 14 Tony Awards in 2019,
Hadestown won eight of them, including the coveted awards for
Best Musical and Best Original Score.
