Hadestown: The Musical

Hadestown: The Musical is an acclaimed theatrical masterpiece captured live on stage, adapting the classic Greek myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, alongside King Hades and his wife Persephone. Set in a Great Depression-era inspired post-apocalyptic landscape, the narrative follows the young dreamer Orpheus, a musician who attempts to rescue his starving lover Eurydice from the industrialized underworld of Hadestown. Meanwhile, the strained relationship between Hades and Persephone mirrors the environmental and economic decay of the world above.

This genre-bending musical features a genre-spanning score by Anaïs Mitchell, blending modern American folk music with New Orleans jazz. As Orpheus embarks on his harrowing quest to the underworld, the show explores powerful themes of love, hope, climate change, and industry. The filmed capture preserves the vibrant staging, poetic lyricism, and Tony Award-winning essence of the theatrical phenomenon for global audiences.
