Story
The Greek mythology adaptation of the Hadestown musical opens by showcasing Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus proposed to Eurydice, but she is hesitant because both of them live in poverty. Eventually, they fall in love.
Hades and Persephone enter the musical when Hades comes to the surface to take Persephone back to the Underworld. During this time, Eurydice hears about working in the Underworld as a way out of poverty. Hades dislikes arguing with Persephone about the advantages of the Underworld. He decides to go to the world above to try to find someone who will appreciate working in the Underworld before finding Eurydice. She chooses to join Hades in the Underworld, leaving her love of Orpheus behind.
When Orpheus learns about Eurydice's departure, he promises to travel to the Underworld to rescue Eurydice. By the time he travels to the Underworld, Eurydice figures out working in the Underworld is not the enjoyable experience Hades made it appear to be. Orpheus and Eurydice talk to Hades about releasing Eurydice from her contract and letting her return to the above world. The subsequent decision and journey tests the love Orpheus and Eurydice have for each other.
