It was announced this morning that the live, West End capture of the Tony Award-winning Best Musical Hadestown will officially be released theatrically in North America on July 24, 2026. The UK release date has yet to be announced. The film, titled Hadestown: The Musical, will feature the five original principal Broadway cast members Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Amber Gray, Eva Noblezada, and Patrick Page in their respective roles of Orpheus, Hermes, Persephone, Eurydice, and Hades.
The stage production, written by Anaïs Mitchell and directed by Rachel Chavkin, was filmed in London by director Brett Sullivan of Steam Motion and Sound. Bleecker Street’s event cinema division Crosswalk and LD Entertainment acquired the rights for North America and all English speaking territories.
“We are eager to share this iconic performance of Hadestown, featuring a unique combination of our original Broadway cast and West End company, made for the big screen,” stated producer Mara Isaacs. “A great deal of love and care has gone into capturing the show on film, allowing it to live beyond the stage and reach new audiences around the world for years to come.”
What is Hadestown on Broadway about?
Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
