Why watch Hadestown?
- Don't miss the 8-time Tony-award-winning (and Olivier-nominated!) show Hadestown, set in a Depression-era underworld fused with Greek myth.
- Anaïs Mitchell’s powerhouse blend of folk, blues, jazz, and pop, backed by live brass, turns every song into a thrilling emotional journey.
- Under Rachel Chavkin’s visionary direction and David Neumann’s kinetic choreography, the Lyric Theatre transforms into a pulsing industrial underworld where myth and movement collide.
- Dónal Finn’s soaring Orpheus, Grace Hodgett Young’s grounded Eurydice, Zachary James’s menacing Hades, and the charismatic ensemble (led by Melanie La Barrie’s award-winning Hermes) offer gut-punch emotion and wit.
- Described as “one of the best West End musicals around,” critics praise its emotional intensity and storytelling. Sunday Express called it “achingly beautiful and boldly original” and Time Out called it “the most exhilarating ride.”

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 show was phenomenal. I did not know much about Hadestown going in, but I was far from dissatisfied or disappointed. It was clear the actors were having fun during the performance, which- in my opinion- exemplified the atmosphere of the show. More importantly, I think what really made the performance was the music; I did not know or expect there to be live music but the Jazzy, New Orleans genre style of rhythm brought the whole show to life. It was hard to tear your attention away from the stage as every little moment added to the story. Before I even knew it the show was over and ever since that night, I have been consistently recalling moments from the stage and marvelling over just how good it was- and that I actually got to see it in person. I 100% recommend going to see this, and, given the chance, I would jump at the opportunity to see it again.

This was my wife and I's last night in London. This was also our first show in London. It was beyond extraordinary. This Hadestown cast was top notch and we thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. The Lyric is gorgeous and contains so much character. As this was our 4th visit to London, a trip to see a show will forever be included in our itinerary.

the show was phenomenal. The actors and actresses left such a great impression on me that I miss hearing their voices on the official soundtrack. Even from the furthest row in the theater I was able to feel the experience as if I was right on stage with them.
