A deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience, HADESTOWN invites you to imagine how the world could be.
The new cast features stars of musical theatre Trevor Dion Nicholas (Disney’s Aladdin, Next To Normal, Hamilton) will play Hades and Rachel Tucker (Sunset Boulevard, Wicked, Come From Away) will play Persephone.
‘Your next musical theatre obsession’ (Vogue). ‘Sumptuous. Gorgeous. As good as it gets’ (New York Times) ‘A transporting musical hit! Anaïs Mitchell’s score is a joyful combination of folk, pop, Dixieland and blues. You’ll be singing it in your head for days’ (Time Out)
