A way to gauge of a performance's triumph is its collection of Tony Awards, and Hadestown has quite a few. Among the 14 nominations it received for the 2019 Tony Awards, the show clinched eight victories, among them the much-coveted title of Best Musical. Moreover, the play was honored with accolades for its enchanting music composed by David Mitchell, the masterful direction of Rachel Chavkin, the standout performance by André De Shields, the innovative scenic design, the striking sound design, the artful lighting design, and the creative orchestrations.
In Anais Mitchell's reshaping of a Greek tale, Eurydice is presented as a young woman adept in navigating on her own in a world filled with unpredictability, even in weather conditions. Meanwhile, Orpheus is a fervent singer-songwriter overflowing with sentiments. Upon their first meeting, Eurydice is lured into an underworld factory, in which Hades transforms his workers into automated drones.
Orpheus embarks on a journey to retrieve her, with the assistance of his melodious tunes and Persephone (Hades' wife), he achieves bringing her back to his residence.
The cast is small, consisting of just 13 members, who stay on center stage for the majority of the show. The choir consists of 5 cast members, who lend their voices and dance in the background to boost the vigor of the songs. Included among the actors the 3 Fates, who sing, converse, and interact with the characters. The complete seven-piece band for "Hadestown" performs the entire production while all except the drummer are seen on stage. The primary figures encompass the deities Hades and Persephone, as well as Orpheus and his beloved Eurydice.
Entertainment Weekly showered praises on the Broadway rendition, stating, “When it comes to tales as ancient as time, the narratives of Greek mythology rank high, those epic stories of gods and mortals that have been recounted for thousands of years, inspiring countless adaptations. However, there's something remarkably modern and fresh about the manner in which those stories - those timeless melodies, those poignant ballads - are unveiled in Hadestown. As it debuts on Broadway, this journey to the underworld feels like a newly conceived creation.”
