Hadestown infamously blends American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz and takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back. The musical intertwines two mythic love stories that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone.

Hadestown is currently playing at the Lyric Theatre until 28 September 2025.
