The musical Hadestown is no outlier when it comes to the tragic conclusions that define a lot of musicals. The initial song emphatically declares it to be a "sad song" and a "sad tale." Even with its tragic conclusion, "Hadestown" compels attention because of its outstanding ensemble and well-defined storyline infused with a potent lesson. The narrative retells the myth of Orpheus from Greek mythology. The core focus revolves around the adventure of Orpheus and Eurydice to Hadestown, the realm ruled by Hades, where their intense love story unfolds.
Anaïs Mitchell, the mastermind behind this astonishing production, is the mind behind its music, lyrics, and book. Her remarkable abilities come to the forefront in her other well-known projects like Young Man in America and Child Ballads. In collaboration with director Rachel Chavkin, Mitchell embarked on a journey to create a new iteration of the stage production in 2012. This updated rendition included additional songs and dialogue. The remodeled theatrical adaptation of the musical, developed under Chavkin's supervision, premiered Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on May 6 and ran until July 31. The production later had performances in Edmonton and London before making its grand arrival on Broadway in March 2019.
The New York Daily News had a fantastic time experiencing the Broadway presentation and expressed, “America's journey to the underworld is a route best avoided – better to dismount it, dear ones. Don't glance back – it's far too perilous. Instead, search for the cracks in that iconic partition we're erecting. That's the essence of "Hadestown," the exciting new Broadway production with a score that emanates from the very depths of the American soul. Combining elements of steampunk, "Westworld," and Bourbon Street anarchy, this dystopian tuner was conceived as a concept album in 2010 – a kind of folk opera – created by the incredible singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell.”
