How to get Hadestown tickets as award-winning musical extends West End performances until December
Raise your cups! The visually stunning musical, which retells the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, is extending its 2024 run. Here’s how you can secure Hadestown tickets.
It’s been a long five years since Hadestown was in London. The musical was last performed at the National Theatre back in 2018, and while we've had a lot of great theatre shows to pass the time (just take a look at the best West End shows and the best Manchester theatre shows) we've had a Hadestown-shaped hole in our hearts.
Luckily for us, it’s been confirmed that Hadestown will come to the West End from February 2024, with its run already being extended right up until December 2024.
Speaking about the acclaimed musical returning to London, its creator Anaïs Mitchell said: “We're all thrilled to be bringing Hadestown back to London! We truly loved our time at the National Theatre in 2018 and felt so welcomed by your city that it feels like a homecoming to be returning!”
At the 73rd Tony Awards, Hadestown received the most nominations of the evening (14 to be exact), and won an incredible eight awards (also the most awards of the evening), including Best Musical and Best Original Score. Hadestown has also won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.
And that's not all. The modern-day retelling of the ancient Greek myth currently holds the records for the highest grossing musical and the longest-running show in Broadway’s Walter Kerr Theatre almost century-long history.
What's the story of Hadestown?
This two act play intertwines two mythic tales: that of Orpheus and Eurydice, two young dreamers, and that of Hades and his wife Persephone, king and queen of the underworld.
The musical follows the story of Eurydice, a young girl who goes to work in the underworld after being invited there by Hades, to escape poverty. Hades runs the underworld, whereas his wife Persephone — Our Lady of the Underground — runs a speakeasy behind Hades’s back. Orpheus, Eurydice’s singer-songwriter lover, attempts to rescue his love from the underworld, but will they both make it out?
