Why you should see Hadestown

- It's not just the show itself that has award-winning quality, the Original Broadway Cast Recording also won a Grammy Award.
What's the plot of Hadestown?
Hadestown reveals a fresh new version of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Eurydice is a young girl who’s starving, desperate for food. She starts work in a hellish new version of the Greek underworld to get away from her poverty-stricken life. But the underworld isn’t what she expected, and when her equally poverty-stricken boyfriend Orpheus comes to rescue her, things get tricky. According to Forbes, this is ‘An epic celebration of music, togetherness and hope’. The New York Times calls it ‘Sumptuous. Gorgeous. As good as it gets.’ Not to be missed!

The West End cast will include Dónal Finn (The Wheel of Time, Amazon, Grace Hodgett Young (Sunset Boulevard, West End) as Eurydice, Grammy® Award-winner Zachary James (The Addams Family, Broadway) as Hades, Melanie La Barrie (& Juliet, West End) as Hermes and Gloria Onitiri (Hadestown, National Theatre) as Persephone.
Bella Brown, Madeline Charlemagne, and Allie Daniel will play the Fates and Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Beth Hinton-Lever, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short will play the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Ryesha Higgs, Miriam Nyarko, and Simon Oskarsson as Swings.

Unique musical theatre experienceHades town brought Greek myths bang up to date and into a New Orleans jazz cafe! The musicianship was phenomenal and the acting and performing were world class too. It totally draws you into the story with some incredible songs, great messages about modern society and brilliant use of stage management with the revolving stage and trapdoor. Funny, moving, thought-provoking and a must-see!

A pleasant, lively, easy to watch showI personally found the first half a bit slow but found the second half much better - without spoiling the story, the ending could have been a bit more upbeat.
