The Story
Hadestown — London
Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue
Tony Award‑
winning musical
Written by Anaïs Mitchell and directed by Rachel Chavkin, Hadestown is a triumph of modern musical theatre — an eight-time Tony Award winner and Grammy Award winner for Best Musical Theatre Album that has wowed audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.
Drawn from ancient Greek mythology, Hadestown takes you on a journey to a world where poverty and oppression reign. Yet even in this grim underworld, hope survives — carried on the melodies of Orpheus, a young dreamer determined to rescue his lost love Eurydice from the clutches of the powerful god Hades.
"A transporting theatrical experience — Hadestown weaves together jazz, folk, blues and rock into something truly unforgettable."
What makes Hadestown unique is its extraordinary blending of musical genres — jazz, folk, blues and rock intertwine in Mitchell's remarkable score to create a sound unlike anything else in the West End. The story pits love and idealism against power and pragmatism, with Hades and his wife Persephone embodying the corrupting pull of wealth and control.
Orpheus' journey into the underworld to reclaim Eurydice is one of the oldest stories ever told — and in Hadestown it feels as urgent and heartbreaking as ever. This is musical theatre at its most ambitious, most poetic and most moving. Book your tickets today.
