Welcome to Hadestown, where a song can change your fate. This acclaimed new musical by celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always.

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.

Set in a smoky, New Orleans‑inspired underworld, Hadestown layers Greek mythology over a Depression‑era landscape where workers toil behind factory walls and gods walk among mortals, blurring the line between myth and modern life. With its mix of jazz, folk, and blues, Anaïs Mitchell’s score brings Orpheus and Eurydice’s love story into sharp focus as they risk everything to challenge fear, greed, and the systems that keep people underground.

Perfect for fans of inventive storytelling, live music, and must‑see Broadway experiences, Hadestown has become a word‑of‑mouth favorite for date nights, theatre trips with friends, and anyone looking for something more atmospheric than a traditional show. Make the journey to the Walter Kerr Theatre to see why this haunting, hopeful hit continues to be one of Broadway’s hottest tickets, then secure your Hadestown musical seats through Broadway Direct for trusted access to official Broadway tickets, current performance schedules, and great views of the underworld.
