Hadestown

Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:

In the underworld of Hadestown, every performance is a journey through the depths of hair-raising storytelling and moving music, making it an absolute treat for viewers. This masterful Broadway spectacle intertwines two mythical tales of love from Ancient Greece. The Tony Award®-winning musical, which first enchanted audiences off-Broadway in 2016 before its Broadway debut in 2019, retells the tragic romances of Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and his wife Persephone. Anaïs Mitchell's folk-inspired music and Rachel Chavkin's direction bring Hadestown to life with a fresh perspective on timeless tales. This show proves that love's strength and human resilience are as relevant today as they were in ancient times. The journey of Hadestown takes you beyond the story of the underworld, inviting you to explore the power of connection and the art of storytelling.

The music of Hadestown is truly something special. From the haunting and ethereal “Hey, Little Songbird” to the heart-wrenching ballad “Wait for Me,” the songs will stay with you long after the curtain falls. The songs give insight into each character and are relatable to everyone in the audience, whether with their themes of love, a search for a better future, regrets, or freedom.

Watch as the fates of two couples, Orpheus and Eurydice, along with Hades and Persephone, become intertwined in the underworld. The setting shifts between extreme seasons, taking you to a world of both scarcity and abundance. In the story, Orpheus must find his way to Hadestown to save Eurydice, while Hades and Persephone face their own challenges. This compelling narrative, steeped in Greek mythology, explores all the themes close to the human heart—love, loss, desire, and the unwavering power of hope. The depth of the story, the hauntingly beautiful score, and the raw emotion portrayed on stage make Hadestown an unforgettable theatrical experience.
