This remarkable production known as Hadestown is no outlier when it comes to the tragic conclusions that characterize numerous musicals.

Anaïs Mitchell, the mastermind behind this astonishing production, is the mind behind its music, lyrics, and book. Her exceptional talents come to the forefront 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 theatrical piece in 2012. This revised rendition included added musical pieces and dialogues. The transformed theatrical adaptation of the musical, developed under Chavkin's supervision, premiered Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on May 6 and performed until July 31. The production subsequently had performances in Edmonton and London before making its grand arrival on Broadway in March 2019.
The New York Daily News had a terrific time witnessing the Broadway performance and expressed, “America's journey to the underworld is a path best avoided – better to dismount it, young ones. Don't look back – it's much too hazardous. Instead, hunt for the fissures in that renowned barrier we're constructing. That's the essence of "Hadestown," the thrilling new Broadway musical with a score that originates from the very depths of the American core. Mixing elements of steampunk, "Westworld," and Bourbon Street anarchy, this dark tuner began as a concept album in 2010 – a kind of folk opera – created by the incredible singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell.”
