Hadestown at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium Tickets

This remarkable production known as Hadestown is no outlier when it comes to the melancholic conclusions that define a lot of musicals. The opening song decisively declares it to be a "sad song" and a "sad tale." In spite of its melancholy ending, "Hadestown" compels attention due to its brilliant cast and sharp plot infused with a potent lesson. The tale retells the myth of Orpheus from Greek mythology. The main plot revolves around the odyssey of Orpheus and Eurydice to Hadestown, the realm ruled by Hades, where their closely connected love story unfolds.

Anaïs Mitchell, the mastermind behind this astonishing production, is responsible for its music, lyrics, and book. Her exceptional talents shine through in her other prominent creations like Young Man in America and Child Ballads. In collaboration with director Rachel Chavkin, Mitchell embarked on a journey to create a fresh version of the stage play in 2012. This enhanced rendition included added musical pieces and dialogues. The remodeled theatrical adaptation of the musical, crafted under Chavkin's guidance, premiered Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on May 6 and ran until July 31. The production subsequently traveled to Edmonton and London before making its grand entry on Broadway in March 2019.

The esteemed New York Daily News had a fantastic time experiencing the Broadway showing and expressed, “America's journey to the underworld is a route best avoided – better to dismount it, dear ones. Don't look back – it's way too dangerous. Instead, seek for the flaws in that iconic partition we're constructing. That's the central theme of "Hadestown," the thrilling new Broadway show with a score that emanates from the very depths of the American soul. Mixing elements of steampunk, "Westworld," and Bourbon Street chaos, this dark tuner was conceived as a concept album in 2010 – a kind of folk opera – created by the incredible singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell.”
