The live theater capture of the hit musical Hadestown, which won eight Tony Awards in 2019 including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, featuring the five original principals of the Broadway company. The genre-defying new musical blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale. Following two intertwining love stories -- that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone -- Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

3.5/4

Move over "Odyssey," here’s another Greek tragedy of love and war, done as a fabulous musical. Initially set for a five-day limited run, this live capture of the stage smash has been extended by popular demand. Hit it.

A splendid opportunity for anyone who hasn’t seen “Hadestown” onstage to experience it. The audience we see at this production at the West End’s Lyric Theatre is so in love with the show that you feel every person there has already seen it three times.

This production feels like a fleeting moment — a reunion of friends and collaborators retelling a myth that is recounted over and over again.

Mitchell’s musical hodgepodge offers banal songs that are half-churchy, half profane.

Anais Mitchell is the genius creator of Hadestown, and the pro-shot proves why it has remained a popular hit on Broadway, London and the national tours thanks to her gorgeous music and creative retelling of Greek characters.

It was amazing seeing the original cast and the London Theatre. You could tell how moved all of the performers were to be there and part of this experience. This story itself is absolutely wonderful and the music is superb. I loved everything about it. I brought my daughter in 13-year-old granddaughter and they both loved it just as much as I did.

It was the most magical theatre experience I’ve ever had. Hadestown has been my favorite musical for years and I’m beyond grateful that I got to see the Original Cast in theatres. Truly breathtaking. A beautiful story of love and pain.
