The remodeled theatrical adaptation of the musical, crafted under Chavkin's supervision, premiered Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on May 6 and ran until July 31.

The esteemed New York Daily News had a fantastic time witnessing the Broadway showing and expressed, “America's journey to the underworld is a road best avoided – better to get off it, my children. Don't glance back – it's far too perilous. Instead, hunt for the fissures in that renowned barrier we're erecting. That's the central theme of "Hadestown," the thrilling new Broadway musical with a score that originates from the very depths of the American core. Combining elements of steampunk, "Westworld," and Bourbon Street disarray, this grim tuner began as a concept album in 2010 – a kind of folk opera – created by the incredible singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell.”
