Anaïs Mitchell, the genius behind Hadestown, is the mind behind its music, lyrics, and book. Her exceptional talents are evident 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 stage play in 2012. This revised rendition included additional songs and dialogue. The altered theatrical adaptation of the musical, formed under Chavkin's supervision, debuted Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on May 6 and performed until July 31. The production afterward had performances in Edmonton and London before making its grand entry on Broadway in March 2019.
The esteemed New York Daily News had a fantastic time experiencing the Broadway presentation and commented, “America's journey to the underworld is a path best avoided – better to get off it, my children. Don't glance back – it's way too dangerous. Instead, search for the cracks in that famous wall we're constructing. That's the essence of "Hadestown," the exciting new Broadway show with a score that emanates from the very depths of the American soul. Combining elements of steampunk, "Westworld," and Bourbon Street chaos, this grim tuner was conceived as a concept album in 2010 – a kind of folk opera – created by the astounding singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell.”
