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.

What a fantastic retelling of the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice and Persephone and Hades! Desmonda Cathabel's voice is so gorgeous-- like Sara Baraseilles -- and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt pulled you into the story with a strong emotional tug. Orpheus understudy Sebastian Lim-Seet was a sweet songbird, and he and Desmonda had beautiful chemistry. As an American in the audience, "Why We Build the Wall" made my throat bob in dismay. Amazing all around!! (BTW the Orpheus & Eurydice cocktail with passion fruit is one of the best cocktails I've had!)

Can I say rverything? It was extraordinary. Beginning with the choreography which was not danced by many dancers but those who did, did such amazing job on it! My heart was stolen by Persefone - the actress stole the show, she was amazing! The thing I talked about the most were the lights. So simple sometimes, dancing with the lamps, the changes in warmth of the light - wow!Elizabeth
