For the sake of food and shelter, Eurydice signs away her life and becomes a worker in Hadestown, Hades' underground factory. Orpheus gets to know about this, comes to the Underworld, and vows to save Eurydice.

The musical itself is good, great live music, great performers, we didn't realize that jazz was the predominant style of music - that's not quite our taste in music and that's why we left during the interval. If you like jazz, you'll think Hadestown is great. We thought it was really good too, it just didn't grab us like Hamilton, for example.
