About the show
Hadestown retells the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice with New Orleans style jazz and folk. Hades runs a harsh underworld, and the lovers try to find a path back to the light. The narrator, Hermes, guides the tale with cool ease.
The band sit on stage, the songs drive the plot, and the movement has the swing of a late night club. It is a rich, modern fable about hope, work, and love, told with heat and style. The final notes hang in the air and stay with you on the way home.
