Meanwhile, Orpheus is a fervent singer-songwriter filled with feelings. Upon their initial encounter, Eurydice is lured into an underworld factory, in which Hades transforms his workers into mindless drones.
Orpheus embarks on a journey to retrieve her, assisted by his musical tunes and Persephone (Hades' wife), he achieves bringing her back to his residence.
The cast is compact, comprising only 13 members, who stay on center stage for the bulk of the show. The ensemble consists of 5 cast members, who contribute their vocals and dance in the background to enhance the vigor of the songs.

The full seven-piece band for "Hadestown" performs the entire production while all with the exception of the drummer are visible on stage. The primary figures embody the deities Hades and Persephone, as well as Orpheus and his beloved Eurydice.
Entertainment Weekly showered accolades on the Broadway rendition, commenting, “When it comes to tales as ancient as time, the narratives of Greek mythology rank among the best, those epic stories of gods and mortals that have been recounted for centuries, inspiring numerous versions. However, there's something remarkably contemporary and fresh about the manner in which those stories - those ancient ballads, those poignant ballads - are unveiled in Hadestown. As it premieres on Broadway, this voyage to the realm of the dead feels as though it's a completely new invention.”
