This remarkable production known as Hadestown is no outlier when it comes to the melancholic conclusions that characterize numerous musicals. The opening song emphatically declares it to be a "sad song" and a "sad tale." Despite its melancholy ending, "Hadestown" captures attention due to its outstanding ensemble and sharp storyline imbued with a compelling message. The tale retells the myth of Orpheus from Greek mythology. The main plot revolves around the adventure of Orpheus and Eurydice to Hadestown, the realm ruled by Hades, where their intense love story unfolds.
Anaïs Mitchell, the mastermind behind Hadestown, is responsible for its music, lyrics, and book. Her impressive skills come to the forefront 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 fresh version of the theatrical piece in 2012. This enhanced rendition included extra musical numbers and dialogues. The remodeled theatrical adaptation of the musical, developed under Chavkin's guidance, premiered Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on May 6 and ran until July 31. The production subsequently traveled to Edmonton and London before making its grand arrival on Broadway in March 2019.
The New York Daily News had a terrific time attending the Broadway performance and expressed, “America's journey to the underworld is a path best avoided – better to get off it, young ones. Don't glance back – it's much too hazardous. Instead, search for the flaws in that renowned barrier we're constructing. That's the core of "Hadestown," the thrilling new Broadway production with a score that originates from the very depths of the American core. Mixing elements of steampunk, "Westworld," and Bourbon Street anarchy, this dark tuner began as a concept album in 2010 – a kind of folk opera – created by the astounding singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell.”
