Hadestown is Anaïs Mitchell’s contemporary mythology adaptation of Orpheus and Eurydice’s love story. After drawing up the original scores and scripts in 2010, she turned to acclaimed stage director Rachel Chavkin for assistance in 2012. Together, the duo fine-tuned the play for public, off-Broadway showings that began in 2016. Hadestown would progress from its unassuming origins to a coveted place on Broadway and other well-known stages in London and Canada, making it a international triumph.
Enter the Underworld, where Hades runs a productive but stringent factory called Hadestown. The subterranean workers perform their sisyphean duties daily in hopes they’ll eventually earn their freedom. Meanwhile, Orpheus and Eurydice take pleasure in a passionate courtship above ground, despite the tribulations of winter’s famine.
Once Hades forces his wife Persephone to return to Hadestown, an early winter intensifies above-ground longings. Eurydice, affected by dissatisfaction and influenced by the enticing promises of the Fates, obsesses over the safety Hadestown promises. She eventually makes her way to the underground industrial complex and signs a contract in exchange for guaranteed food.
Her contract snares her, and it’s up to Orpheus to rescue his bride-to-be. But an resentful Hades, pressured by his dissatisfied workforce, stands firm in the contractual agreement. Can Orpheus free his one true love with Persephone’s help? Or will Hades compel Eurydice to do his bidding for all time?
In 2019, the musical earned 14 nominations and eight awards at the 73rd Tony Awards. Hadestown would also claim a 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater. Its dazzling achievements and full-house audiences demonstrate the play’s kinship with a modern era while combining classical elements from the past.
The Tony-winning Broadway show features two acts with more than 20 original songs performed by a exceptional cast. Saenger Theatre will ensure your comfort throughout the two-and-a-half-hour performance with an intermission midway through the show, cushioned seating, and refreshments available for purchase.
