This remarkable production known as Hadestown is no outlier when it comes to the tragic conclusions that mark numerous musicals. The opening song decisively declares it to be a "sad song" and a "sad tale." In spite of its tragic conclusion, "Hadestown" compels attention due to its exceptional performers and well-defined plot infused with a powerful lesson. The tale retells the myth of Orpheus from Greek mythology. The central focus revolves around the odyssey of Orpheus and Eurydice to Hadestown, the realm ruled by Hades, where their closely connected love story unfolds.
Anaïs Mitchell, the creative force behind this astonishing production, is the mind behind its music, lyrics, and book. Her exceptional talents shine through in her other notable works like Young Man in America and Child Ballads. In collaboration with director Rachel Chavkin, Mitchell embarked on a journey to create a new iteration of the theatrical piece in 2012. This updated rendition included extra musical numbers and dialogues. The remodeled theatrical adaptation of the musical, formed under Chavkin's guidance, premiered Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on May 6 and performed until July 31. The production later had performances in Edmonton and London before making its grand arrival on Broadway in March 2019.
The esteemed New York Daily News had a terrific time witnessing the Broadway presentation and expressed, “America's journey to the underworld is a route best avoided – better to step off it, young ones. Don't glance back – it's much too hazardous. Instead, seek for the cracks in that iconic partition we're constructing. That's the essence of "Hadestown," the thrilling new Broadway musical with a score that originates from the very depths of the American soul. Combining elements of steampunk, "Westworld," and Bourbon Street anarchy, this dystopian tuner originated as a concept album in 2010 – a kind of folk opera – created by the astounding singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell.”
