A Beautiful and Atmospheric Evening at Hadestown Hadestown was absolutely stunning. The performance took place in the beautiful Lyric Theatre, with its elegant Art Deco feel, which immediately added to the atmosphere of the evening. The show grabbed my attention from the very first moment. It opened with the lead actor delivering a magnificent blues-inspired musical number that was both powerful and captivating. The music throughout the show—full of jazz and blues influences—created an incredibly rich and atmospheric experience. The story itself is engaging and emotionally compelling, and the staging is simply breathtaking. One of the most impressive moments was the way the Underworld literally descended into the ground as part of the set design. It was visually stunning and perfectly matched the story’s darker themes. I also loved the open ending of this love story. It leaves you reflecting on hope, love, and the choices we make. An unforgettable evening in the theatre. ★★★★★

We flew from the states to take our daughter to Hadestown to celebrate her graduation! Our hearts still flutter at hearing this cast serve it up to us with energy for days and enough talent to last a lifetime. For our daughter it would be Jasmine Triadi singing Flowers as she picked that song for her senior voice recital. There was more ✨magic on that stage than a Harry Potter convention. 🥀♥️ And if that wasn't enough meeting the cast afterwards completed the night to truly living it up on top!!! They were gracious, kind and charming with their time after giving such demanding performances. We three will never forget the night. Dreams are sweet!🥰

From the moment the actors walked on stage, I was locked in. Such a talented cast of performers and musicians. The staging was also a major part of the show's success as it really helped to tell the story. All and all this was a superb evening of theatre. "We build the wall to keep poverty out". Those words sent a chill up My spine as they are very much a reminder of how the failure of humanity is just as much alive in today's world.

The first thing about this experience was how nice the workers were. They were posted all throughout the theatre with helpful information and they were also very respectful of everyone. The theatre was also very beautiful. It was clear that a lot of work was put into making sure it was kept beautiful.

The theatre was amazing. I was in the Dress Circle, last row on top. I have to admit that the stage was well visible even though the high part was a bit hidden. but the play was amazing and the buying process smooth and without any issue. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.
