Winner of the 2019 Tony Award for Best Musical, HADESTOWN: Teen Edition is an intriguing and beautiful folk musical that explores the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice with a young cast of actors 13-19. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone, this beautiful and beguiling sung-through show pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love with music inspired by classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz. Thought-provoking, powerful and prophetic, HADESTOWN is cause for celebration in this transporting musical hit!
