Hadestown tickets and regional UK dates

Hadestown, written by Anaïs Mitchell and directed by Rachel Chavkin, begins its first ever UK and Ireland Tour in February 2027. The show weaves together the Greek myth love stories of Orpheus and Eurydice and of King Hades and Persephone, and runs for two hours and thirty minutes.

The show

Two parallel ancient Greek love stories sit at the heart of Hadestown: the romance between the young dreamer Orpheus and Eurydice, and the relationship between the god-king Hades and his wife Persephone, bound together in a journey that descends into the underworld and back.

The production took home eight Tony Awards, among them Best Musical, as well as the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. A Learning Resource Pack is available, which may be of interest to schools and educators.

What to know before you go

Strobe-like effects are used throughout the show at all venues. The age guidance is 8 and above. The touring cast has not yet been announced.
