Hadestown: The Myth. The Musical.

Hadestown: The Myth. The Musical.
- Shrink-wrapped
A time of scarcity and fear, a love that knows no bounds, an authoritarian leader who promises security and freedom, an artist who challenges the status quo andndash; this is the premise of Hadestown. In Anaandiuml;s Mitchellandrsquo;s imaginative rendering, brought to vibrant life by director Rachel Chavkin and an extraordinary company of actors and musicians, we witness love that never dies. Above ground is an idealistic poet who believes he can change the world with a song, and a skeptical young woman who sees the world for what it is. Down below is the ageless yet frayed love between the King and Queen of the underworld. When confronted with the alternatives of freedom or security, what choices would we make? Mitchell states andldquo;what youandrsquo;re hearing is more than a score, itandrsquo;s people moving, dancing, breathing, the improvisations of the band, and the audience responding in real timeandhellip;andrdquo;. The Orpheus and Eurydice myth retold in Hadestown may be an ancient story, but it is undeniably as relevant today as it has ever been. Hadestown is a musical like no other. Defying genre, it mixes folk, jazz, blues, and Americana into a sweeping ancient tale, re imagined.
