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!

This is one of my favorite performances in Westend so far! I love the New Orleans feel of this Greek tragedy. Of course each artist throws their all in their performances and by the end of the play, you can hear all crowd being so moved, they are crying. Loved it!

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.
