Two rising stars are about to take center stage on Broadway in one of the most celebrated musicals of our time. On May 6, 2025, Hadestown will welcome Ali Louis Bourzgui and Myra Molloy as its new leads—Orpheus and Eurydice.

Bourzgui arrives fresh off a critically acclaimed turn as Tommy in the Tony-nominated revival of The Who’s Tommy. With awards and nominations under his belt—including a Theatre World Award and a Jeff Award—his voice and presence have already made a mark on audiences around the country.

Joining him is Myra Molloy, whose story is as global as it is impressive. Known for voicing Moana in Disney’s Thai-language release and for winning Thailand’s Got Talent, Molloy has graced screens big and small—from Netflix’s He’s All That to Amazon’s Hot Pink and Hulu’s The Bold Type. On stage, she led the national tour of Miss Saigon, and her vocal talent has brought her to performances for everyone from Andrea Bocelli to the UN Secretary-General.

The two succeed Carlos Valdes and Hailey Kilgore, who will take their final bows on May 4.

Now in its sixth year on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre, Hadestown continues to cast its spell over New York audiences. With productions running in London’s West End and new international engagements opening this spring in Australia and Europe, Anaïs Mitchell and Rachel Chavkin’s genre-defying musical has become a global phenomenon.

Blending American folk and New Orleans jazz, Hadestown reimagines the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice through a modern lens. It’s a love story wrapped inside a revolution—pitting doubt against faith, industry against nature, and fear against love.

If the original story is about a journey to the underworld, this new casting feels like a journey to the future. Bourzgui and Molloy aren’t just joining the show—they’re about to lead it into a new era.
