The Global Footprint of Anaïs Mitchell’s Musical
According to production data, Hadestown marks its eighth year on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre and its third year in the West End following a return to London. Conceived by Anaïs Mitchell as an indie theater project that toured Vermont before becoming an acclaimed album, the production was shaped alongside artistic collaborator Rachel Chavkin. The genre-defying musical blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz, following the intertwining love stories of Orpheus and Eurydice and King Hades and Persephone. Beyond New York and London, the show completed a three-year North American tour in 2024 and has played internationally in South Korea, Sydney, Melbourne, and Amsterdam.
