 BEST MUSICAL


“HADESTOWN”


ON BROADWAY


Lola Tung and Grammy Award winner Ani DiFranco have joined the Tony and Grammy Award®-winning Best Musical, Hadestown on Broadway. Tung and DiFranco, who play ‘Eurydice’ and ‘Persephone’, respectively, made their Broadway debuts together in the production on February 9. 2024.


 

Hadestown currently stars Jordan Fisher as ‘Orpheus,’ Grammy Award nominee Phillip Boykin as ‘Hades,’ and Tony Award winner Lillias White as ‘Hermes.’ They are joined by Belén Moyano, Kay Trinidad, and Brit West as the Fates. The chorus of 


Workers is played by Emily AftonMalcolm ArmwoodChibueze IhuomaAlex Puette, and Grace Yoo. The cast includes swings Sojourner Brown, Brandon CameronTara Jackson, Max Kumangai, Alex Lugo, and Tanner Ray Wilson

 

Hadestown originated as Anaïs Mitchell’s indie theater project that toured Vermont which she then turned into an acclaimed album. With Rachel Chavkin, her artistic collaborator, Hadestown has been transformed into a genre-defying new musical that 

blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale.

 

Tickets for Hadestown are available at www.seatgeek.com/hadestown-tickets or by visiting the Walter Kerr Theatre box office  --- (219 West 48th Street).

 

Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience.
