The Underworld in the West End
The critically acclaimed musical arrived with a bang in the West End in 2024, following a sold-out engagement at the National Theatre in 2018, before opening at London’s Lyric Theatre in February of 2024.
The hit musical has won 8 Tony Awards, and a Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album.
Blending modern American folk with vintage New Orleans jazz, Hadestown has captivated audiences with its reimagining of the ancient Greek myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, and Hades and Persephone.
