Hadestown

this was a wonderful performance !!! each of the actors were phenomenal and the entire set, lighting, costume design had so much rich detail. it was beautifully done and i can't wait to see another show on the west end :)

The performance, stage design and production was incredible. Everything was well thought out and designed and ran incredibly smooth. This included the organisation of seating and ticketing.

An amazing cast. Every performer was incredibly talented. The musicians never missed a beat. Loved it. Wanted to watch it again join at not enough time

Hadestown was an awesome experience for our first time at the West End. A fabulous changing set and lighting that took us to another place and time. Incrediable and moving performances by the cast. Wonderful music and amazing voices that left us feeling in awe. While the venue was good, the seating was quite uncomfortable with no leg room. My husband had to stand at back for the second half of the show.

I had purchased two seats on the Balcony, centre of row B. We had an amazing view onto the stage, musicians and performers. I especially loved Persephone (Rachel Adedeji) stage presence and interpretation. Hermes (Clive Rowe) had a wonderful charm and humour, as the role needs. Eventhough our main characters Eurydice (Bethany Antonia) and Orpheus (Marley Fenton) were sometimes overpowered by the supporting cast in the mix, their quiet tones helped keeping the dynamics of the play ebbing and flowing, there otherwise wouldn't have been any breathers and it was very welcome to come down a bit. I especially enjoyed "Flowers". And it was even more powerful, when they started belting in songs like "Wait for me". The deep voice of Hades (Alastair Parker) was of course a highlight and I was pleasantly surprised by his emotional performance during "Epic III". I'd also give massive props to the supporting cast, the lights and technicians. Something I looked forward to, were the round, moving stage and set-usuage. It did not disappoint! The opening stage during "Wait for me" and the lamp-light-show by the supporting cast or the opposite revolving stagepanels during "Way down Hadestown (Repise)" and "If it's True" were wonderful. It definitely was worth to catch the show as long as it runs in London and is accessible from mainland Europe. I will be recommending my family a performance during their visit in fall.

Hadestown was one of the most captivating musicals I’ve ever seen. From the very first song, the music pulled the audience into its dark yet magical world. The jazz and folk-inspired soundtrack was incredibly powerful and emotional, and every performer brought so much energy to the stage. What made the show especially unforgettable was the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. Even if you know the myth, you still find yourself hoping until the very last second that they will finally get their happy ending. The tension in the final moments was almost unbearable, and the emotional impact stayed with me long after the curtain call. Another highlight was Persephone. Her humor and charisma lit up the entire stage, and she brought a perfect balance of wit and emotion to the story. Every scene with her was entertaining, and her chemistry with Hades made the show even more compelling. The stage design and lighting were also stunning. The transitions between the world above and Hadestown itself felt seamless and atmospheric, creating a truly immersive experience. Overall, Hadestown is a masterpiece — emotional, exciting, funny, and deeply moving all at once. It’s a musical that makes you laugh, cry, and think, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves theater.
