Hadestown is a modern retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where dreams of romance and life struggle against the harshness of Hades’ underground realm, the story follows Orpheus as he ventures into the underworld to rescue his beloved Eurydice. With its rich blend of folk, jazz, and blues, the musical weaves together multiple narratives, including that of Persephone and Hades, to explore themes of love, sacrifice, and resilience.
