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.

5/5

I had purchased two seats on the Balcony, centre of row B. We had an amazing view onto the stage, musicians and performers. I especially loved Persephone (Rachel Adedeji) stage presence and interpretation. Hermes (Clive Rowe) had a wonderful charm and humour, as the role needs. Eventhough our main characters Eurydice (Bethany Antonia) and Orpheus (Marley Fenton) were sometimes overpowered by the supporting cast in the mix, their quiet tones helped keeping the dynamics of the play ebbing and flowing, there otherwise wouldn't have been any breathers and it was very welcome to come down a bit. I especially enjoyed "Flowers". And it was even more powerful, when they started belting in songs like "Wait for me". The deep voice of Hades (Alastair Parker) was of course a highlight and I was pleasantly surprised by his emotional performance during "Epic III". I'd also give massive props to the supporting cast, the lights and technicians. Something I looked forward to, were the round, moving stage and set-usuage. It did not disappoint! The opening stage during "Wait for me" and the lamp-light-show by the supporting cast or the opposite revolving stagepanels during "Way down Hadestown (Repise)" and "If it's True" were wonderful. It definitely was worth to catch the show as long as it runs in London and is accessible from mainland Europe. I will be recommending my family a performance during their visit in fall.

The staff were all super friendly and the theatre is beautiful. Other people I spoke to had been to the show multiple times and I now understand why - there is nothing like it. The the on stage orchestra, the turntable stage, the incredible lighting -everything was perfect.

Amazing show all around. Performers, set, costumes, lighting and music were all fabulous. Shame the venue seating was too cramped for tall people.

The reasonable priced ticket for the third front row was a big part. West End theatre is so expensive these days. The whole cast was extremely professional with some outstanding lead perormances, especially from the four main roles. The musicianship form the band and singers was so good, and the keyboard player was exceptional.. The choreography was incredibly slick and exciting with the chorus parts perfoming to a very high degreee. I have al ready been recommending this show to friends and family.

Saw Hadestown with my children, and we all loved it. The music was incredible, you could literally feel it in your chest. The energy from the stage was so strong that we found ourselves applauding again and again throughout the performance. What I appreciated most was how the show drew all of us in, regardless of age. My kids were completely engaged, and the story gave us a lot to talk about afterward. A powerful, memorable evening and a wonderful experience to share as a family.
