Costa Mesa, CA – Following its wildly successful first North American tour, a new tour of Hadestown launches this October. The Tony® and Grammy® award – winning Best Musical will return to Segerstrom Hall for eight performances only, from October 29 – November 3, 2024. Don’t miss this opportunity to be spellbound by Hadestown‘s soulful blend of myth, music, and magic in an unforgettable journey to the underworld.
Welcome to Hadestown, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always.
Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
Hadestown was the most honored show of the 2018-2019 Broadway season. In addition to the show’s other awards, it has been honored with four Drama Desk Awards, six Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Outstanding New Broadway Musical, and the Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Musical.
The new tour cast for Hadestown stars Nickolaus Colón as Hades, Megan Colton as Eurydice, Jaylon C. Crump as Hermes, Namisa Mdlalose Bizana as Persephone, and Bryan Munar as Orpheus. The Fates are played by Katelyn Crall, Miriam Navarrete, and Alli Sutton. The Workers Chorus features Randy Cain, Miracle Myles, Kaitlyn O’Leary, Mikaela Rada, and Joe Rumi.

More about the show
Hadestown marked the first time in over a decade that a woman was the solo author of a musical: writing the music, lyrics, and book, and is the fourth time in Broadway history a woman has accomplished this creative feat. The show originated as an indie theater project that toured Vermont which Mitchell then turned into an acclaimed album. With Chavkin, her artistic collaborator, Hadestown was transformed into a genre-defying musical that blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale. It electrified audiences with its 2016 world premiere at New York Theatre Workshop and became the longest-running show in that celebrated theater’s 40-year history.
The show opened at the Walter Kerr Theatre on Broadway on April 17, 2019, where it played sold out houses nightly before performances were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hadestown resumed performances September 2, 2021, as one of the first musicals to reopen on Broadway where it continues to play today. The first national tour of Hadestown began in late 2021, one of the first Broadway tours to launch post-pandemic. Upon its conclusion in May 2024, the tour had played over 980 performances in 85 cities across the US and Canada. The Grammy® winning Hadestown Original Broadway cast recording is on Sing It Again Records.
Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. The tour is directed by Keenan Tyler Oliphant based on the original Broadway direction and featuring a new tour concept by Rachel Chavkin. The tour is choreographed by T. Oliver Reid, based on the original Broadway choreography by David Neumann. The creative team features David Arsenault (set design based on the original Broadway design by Rachel Hauck); four-time Tony Award® nominee Michael Krass (costume design); Aja Jackson (lighting design based on the original Broadway design by Bradley King); Tony Award® winners Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz (sound design); Liam Robinson (music consultant and vocal arrangements); Cody Owen Stine (music supervision); and Whitley Theatrical (casting).
Hadestown was developed with funding from the Eli and Edythe Broad Stage at the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center and was further developed by The Ground Floor at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Hadestown was co-conceived by Ben T. Matchstick.
