The highly acclaimed production enters its second year at the Lyric Theatre, with a new cast taking the stage from 11 March 2025.
Desmonda Cathabel, Dylan Wood, Cedric Neal and Chris Jarman. Headshots provided by production.
Joining Hadestown is Desmonda Cathabel (Disney's Aladdin, UK & Ireland Tour) as Eurydice, Olivier Award-nominee Victoria Hamilton-Barritt (Cinderella, Gillian Lynne Theatre) as Persephone, Chris Jarman (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Palace Theatre) as Hades, Cedric Neal (Guys and Dolls, Bridge Theatre) as Hermes and Dylan Wood (Hadestown, Lyric Theatre) returns as Orpheus.
Melanie Bright and Lauran Rae join Allie Daniel as the Fates; Femi Akinfolarin, Michelle Andrews, Ollie Bingham, Laura Delany and Sebastian Lim-Seet will play the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Juan Jackson, Oisín Nolan-Power, Lindo Shinda and Jasmine Triadi as Swings.
Hadestown takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone. With music, lyrics and book by the Tony® and Grammy®-winning singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winner Anaïs Mitchell, Hadestown returned to London last February five years after its sold-out engagement at the National Theatre in 2018 and a run on Broadway.
Hadestown is currently playing at the Lyric Theatre until 28 September 2025.
