Hadestown in Vancouver

Date: November 7-12, 2023
Time: 8:00pm
Location: Queen Elizabeth Theatre (630 Hamilton St, Vancouver)
Tickets: Available now

Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience.

It was the most honoured show of the 2018-2019 Broadway season! In addition to the show’s eight Tony Awards^®, and a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album, it has been honoured with four Drama Desk Awards, six Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Outstanding New Broadway Musical, and the Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Musical.

The acclaimed new musical is by celebrated singer-songwriter and Tony Award^® winner Anaïs Mitchell and developed with innovative director and Tony Award^® winner Rachel Chavkin. Hadestown marks the first time in over a decade that a woman has been the solo author of a musical: writing the music, lyrics, and book, and is the fourth time in Broadway history a woman has accomplished this creative feat.

The creative team features Tony Award^® winner Rachel Hauck (set design); four-time Tony Award^® nominee Michael Krass (costume design); two-time Tony Award^® winner Bradley King (lighting design); Tony Award^® winners Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz (sound design); Chita Rivera Award^® winner and three-time Bessie Award^® winner David Neumann (choreography); Liam Robinson (music supervision and vocal arrangements); Tony Award^® winners Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose (arrangements and orchestrations); Ken Cerniglia (dramaturgy); and Whitley Theatrical (casting).
