Costa Mesa, CA –\u00a0<\/strong>Following its wildly successful first North American tour, a new tour of\u00a0Hadestown<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>launches this October.\u00a0<\/strong>The Tony\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0and Grammy\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0award – winning Best Musical will return to\u00a0Segerstrom Hall<\/strong>\u00a0for eight performances only, from\u00a0October 29 – November 3, 2024<\/strong>. Don\u2019t miss this opportunity to be spellbound by\u00a0Hadestown<\/em>‘s soulful blend of myth, music, and magic in an unforgettable journey to the underworld.<\/p>\n

Welcome to\u00a0Hadestown<\/em>, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony\u00a0<\/sup>Awards\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed show from celebrated singer-songwriter Ana\u00efs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812<\/em>) is a love story for today… and always.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hadestown<\/em>\u00a0intertwines two mythic tales \u2014 that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone \u2014 as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell\u2019s beguiling melodies and Chavkin\u2019s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers,\u00a0HADESTOWN<\/em>\u00a0is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.<\/p>\n

More about the show<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hadestown<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0marked 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,\u00a0Hadestown<\/em>\u00a0was transformed into a genre-defying musical that blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale.\u00a0It electrified audiences with its 2016 world premiere at New York Theatre Workshop and became the longest-running show in that celebrated theater\u2019s 40-year history.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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.\u00a0Hadestown<\/em>\u00a0resumed 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\u00a0Hadestown<\/em>\u00a0began 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\u00ae\u00a0<\/sup>winning\u00a0Hadestown<\/em>\u00a0Original Broadway cast recording is on Sing It Again Records.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers,\u00a0Hadestown<\/em>\u00a0delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. The tour is directed by\u00a0Keenan Tyler Oliphant\u00a0based on the original Broadway direction and featuring a new tour concept by\u00a0Rachel Chavkin. The tour is choreographed by\u00a0T. Oliver Reid, based on the original Broadway choreography by\u00a0David Neumann. The creative team features David Arsenault (set design based on the original Broadway design by Rachel Hauck); four-time Tony Award\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0nominee Michael Krass (costume design); Aja Jackson (lighting design based on the original Broadway design by Bradley King); Tony Award\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0winners Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz (sound design); Liam Robinson (music consultant and vocal arrangements); Cody Owen Stine (music supervision); and Whitley Theatrical (casting).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Hadestown<\/em>\u00a0was 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.\u00a0Hadestown<\/em>\u00a0was co-conceived by Ben T. Matchstick.<\/p>\n
