The work of the lighting is really incredibly well thought of and the set make it really impactfull "Wait for me" and " doubt comes in" fully got the drama enhance with it The actors were all very touching to see, with Orpheus being an adorable naive goofball. The costumes were all beautifull and working super well with the set and story. I can't wait to come back and see it again

The live music really drew you into the play. Even though the stage seemed small, the visual effects—such as the lighting and the moving parts—made for a compelling experience.

It was great, a very beautiful musical. Between the sets, the singing, and the story, it was super. The theater was very pretty too, easy to understand the access and where to go.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible — A Must-See in London! Hadestown at the Lyric Theatre in London was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, the experience was incredible. The Lyric Theatre is a beautiful, intimate venue, and the best part is that there truly isn’t a bad seat in the house. Every seat offers a fantastic view of the stage, which made the entire performance feel incredibly immersive. The pacing of the show is perfection. It moves effortlessly from one moment to the next, keeping you completely captivated without ever feeling rushed or dragging. And the cast… WOW! Every single performer brought incredible power, emotion, and personality to their character. Each role was portrayed with such depth that you couldn’t help but become completely invested in their stories. And the music! The songs are absolutely mesmerizing. Beautiful, haunting, soulful, and unforgettable. The combination of the music, lighting, choreography, and performances creates an atmosphere that pulls you right into the world of Hadestown. I took my teenage daughter, and watching her experience the show was honestly one of my favorite parts. She loved every single minute of it! It’s rare to find a show that can completely captivate both adults and teenagers, but Hadestown absolutely delivered. Every character gave a stellar performance, and the entire cast deserves tremendous praise. There was so much talent on that stage, and you could feel the energy and passion throughout the entire theater. If you’re in London, GO SEE HADESTOWN. Don’t hesitate. The intimate Lyric Theatre, phenomenal cast, mesmerizing music, and flawless pacing make this a theatrical experience you won’t forget. 10/10 — absolutely brilliant! 🎭❤️

It was without a doubt one of the most energetic and talented cast that I have seen for a very long time . It's unfair to pick out one cast member (especially the red-headed Persephone) but all delivered performances that felt fresh and joyous. in a word ,all were outstanding . Being able to see and read the transcript of the production was for me personally a highlight . It was like hearing /reading a love letter to the Gods . It was just so damn brilliant. From the staging to the incredible live band it was well worth flying across the globe to see . The connection with the audience was palpable and the standing ovation truly deserved . Bravo ....and yes , I'd gladly come back to London to see it again .

The rollercoaster Underworld saga, set in the world of Greek mythology, is returning to London after it first played at the National Theatre in 2018.

After opening to rave reviews and critical acclaim, Anaïs Mitchell and Rachel Chavkin’s Hadestown was nominated for 14 Tony Awards in 2019, a record-breaking number, and won 8 of them.

It also holds a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. So, there is no doubt that Hadestown in London is going to be a phenomenal experience.

Get your tickets for Hadestown before they run out. The Underworld has never looked better.

From Broadway to West End: Hadestown comes to Lyric Theatre >

The story

A story about the trials and tribulations of love, Hadestown focuses on two couples — the poverty-ridden Orpheus and Eurydice and the King of the Underworld, Hades and his wife, Persephone. When Persephone is miserable about returning to the Underworld after she visits the world above, Hades heads out to search for someone who will appreciate the offerings of his home. He finds Eurydice and convinces her to move to the Underworld in exchange for food and protection. Eurydice agrees and becomes a worker at Hadestown, the dark underground factory of Hades. When Orpheus finds out, he vows to save Eurydice. What follows is a heartbreaking tale of sacrifice, triumph and the mysterious machinations of fate.

The show was absolutely wonderful. Everybody in the cast perfectly embodied their character. And the music is obviously magical. I loved every minute of it. I also think it's great that you can't use your phone during theatre (duh) because you're just so much more in the moment. I just snagged a little photo during the beautiful encore. Lovely experience. I already want to go back.
