Hadestown is Anaïs Mitchell’s contemporary mythology adaptation of Orpheus and Eurydice’s love story. After drafting the original scores and scripts in 2010, she turned to acclaimed stage director Rachel Chavkin for assistance in 2012. Together, the duo polished the play for public, off-Broadway showings that began in 2016. Hadestown would graduate from its modest beginnings to a coveted place on Broadway and other much-loved stages in London and Canada, making it a world-wide success.
Welcome to the Underworld, where Hades runs a productive but stringent factory called Hadestown. The exhausted workers perform their unceasing duties daily in hopes they’ll eventually earn their autonomy. Meanwhile, Orpheus and Eurydice take pleasure in a growing love above ground, despite the trials of winter’s famine.
Once Hades forces his wife Persephone to return to Hadestown, an early winter escalates above-ground hungers. Eurydice, affected by insatiable yearnings and influenced by the tempting song of the Fates, longs for the salvation Hadestown promises. She eventually makes her way to the underground industrial complex and agrees to work in exchange for guaranteed food.
Her contract entangles her, and it’s up to Orpheus to rescue his bride-to-be. But an embittered Hades, pressured by his discontented workforce, stands firm in the contractual agreement. Can Orpheus free his one true love with Persephone’s help? Or will Hades compel Eurydice to do his bidding for eternity?
In 2019, the musical earned 14 nominations and eight awards at the 73rd Tony Awards. Hadestown would also claim a 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater. Its lofty achievements and full-house audiences demonstrate the play’s connection with a present era while combining classical elements from the past.
