The show first premiered at the National Theatre in 2018, and has gone on to enjoy a successful run on Broadway where it won 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical, and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. The show enjoyed great reviews from the London theatre critics when it opened in February 2023.
Hadestown has also been filmed in London, for a new Hadestown Live in London film, starring the original National Theatre and Broadway leads Reeve Carney as Orpheus, André De Shields as Hermes, Amber Gray as Persephone, Eva Noblezada as Eurydice and Patrick Page as Hades.
