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 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.

A nice, intimate theater. We were sitting in the second row, so the actors were right up close. They really give it their all and are amazing singers. The music is fantastic, and we had a wonderful evening.

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.
  • 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.
