Written by Anaïs Mitchell and directed by Rachel Chavkin, Hadestown is in its sixth year on Broadway.
The Tony-winning musical tells two mythic love stories – that of Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone – with both on a journey to the underworld and back.
Wolfe will not perform in Hadestown from September 9–21. Please visit the Hadestown website for more information on scheduled performer absences.
