Hadestown is hitting the road again with the US national tour, bringing Anas Mitchell's atmospheric modern classic musical back to theatres across the nation! A modern retelling of the ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, the show follows a young musician who journeys to the underworld in a desperate attempt to save the woman he loves. Along the way, he comes up against powerful gods, impossible choices, and a world where hope is fragile but never fully lost.

Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Hadestown is a show about love, trust, and why we keep telling the same stories - even when we know how they end.

Here's what the critics are saying.

Hadestown Critic Reviews

"Hadestown, which opened last night at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, is a masterful work of art. All of the elements in this touring production come together cohesively to tell a beautiful tale of gods and men." - Twin Cities Arts Reader, Minneapolis

"Hope: it's an interesting human phenomenon. Even if we know tragedy is inevitable, we still take up the journey, convincing ourselves, "Maybe this time will be different." In a world ravaged by social and economic inequality, hope is often the best thing we have. Anas Mitchell's eight-time 2019 Tony Award-winning musical, Hadestown, is a spiritual awakening - an invitation to consider what it means to sacrifice self for soul, and to move through the world with an idealistic vision of what could be rather than what is. It reminds us that the only way to change the world is to believe that we can." - DC Theater Arts, Washington

"Simply put, Hadestown remains a musical theater masterpiece. After nearly six and a half years, more than 2,000 performances, a pandemic, and dozens of major cast changes, Anas Mitchell's jazz infused take on the Orpheus/Eurydice myth is in opening night shape." - JK's Theatre Scene, New York

"There's something quietly powerful about witnessing a tale that refuses to grow old, especially in a staging that embraces change as part of its identity. Hadestown will move on after the weekend, carrying its well-worn tragedy to the next city, ready to tell it all over again. But while it's here right now, in this moment of time, it offers us the rare gift of seeing a story reborn in real time. And whether you're a first-timer or returning traveler on this long road to hell, it's worth taking the journey once more even if you already know how it ends." - BroadwayWorld

"Ultimately, Hadestown proved to be an emotionally compelling production, brimming with passion and resonance, even as it struggled to escape the constraints of its own design. The musical's sublime score and compelling performances, led by a cast that infused every note with urgency, illuminated the fragility of hope in a world where survival often demands our soul." - Little Village, Iowa City

"As for the show itself, this touring cast was phenomenal. Since I went two nights in a row, I got the honor of seeing Miracle Myles and Jose Contreras as Orpheus. Both bring different creative freedom to the role so effortlessly. Myles had this wide eyed, head over heels approach that makes you believe in love again, while Contreras truly played into the optimistic poet, and made you see the world through Orpheus' eyes." - The Maroon, New Orleans
