Hadestown, which began its Broadway run at the Walter Kerr Theatre on March 22, is written by singer-songwriter and Tony winner Anaïs Mitchell, and developed with innovative director and Tony winner Rachel Chavkin. Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife, Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.
