HADESTOWN
Tony and Grammy award-winning musical Hadestown made its West End debut at the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in London from 10 February 2024..
Following its sold-out run at the National Theatre in 2018, the critically acclaimed show returns to the UK after five years, Hadestown features music, lyrics, and book by Anaïs Mitchell, a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, and direction by Tony Award-winner Rachel Chavkin.
Trevor Dion Nicholas (Disney’s Aladdin, Next To Normal, Hamilton) is playing Hades and Rachel Tucker (Sunset Boulevard, Wicked, Come From Away) is Persephone.
They join Madeline Charlemagne as Eurydice, Melanie La Barrie as Hermes, Dylan Wood as Orpheus, with Bella Brown, Allie Daniel and Francessca Daniella-Baker as the Fates.
Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Beth Hinton-Lever, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short continue to play the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Winny Herbert, Ryesha Higgs, Miriam Nyarko, and Simon Oskarsson as Swings.
The show's creative team features several award-winning designers, including Tony Award-winner Rachel Hauck for set design, four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Krass for costume design, two-time Tony Award-winner Bradley King for lighting design, Tony Award-winners Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz for sound design, and Obie Award-winner and Chita Rivera Award-winner David Neumann for choreography.
Hadestown is produced in London by Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, Tom Kirdahy, and the National Theatre in association with JAS Theatricals. The casting for the show is yet to be announced.
Hadestown opened in 2016 at the New York Theatre Workshop before a production in Edmonton, Canada, and its sold-out run at the National Theatre in 2018. The show then premiered at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theater, winning eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Hadestown now holds the record for the highest-grossing musical and longest-running show in the theatre's 100-year history. The North American tour of the show is celebrating its second year of sold-out performances, with several return engagements announced from July 2023.
