In a haunting, folk-and-blues-inspired reimagining of Greek mythology, Hadestown tells the timeless love story of Orpheus and Eurydice — set in a gritty, post-apocalyptic world.

Orpheus, a gifted musician, dreams of a better life above ground with his beloved Eurydice. But when Eurydice is lured to Hadestown by the seductive promises of Hades, Orpheus must journey into the underworld to win her back. Will love triumph, or will fate tear them apart?
