Excitement Builds in Nashville for the Return of HADESTOWN!

Nashville, get ready! The enchanting musical HADESTOWN is making its much-anticipated return to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s Jackson Hall, running from January 7 to January 9, 2025. After its groundbreaking debut, this musical has won the hearts of audiences and critics alike, accumulating an impressive eight Tony Awards during the 2018-2019 Broadway season, including the acclaimed Best New Musical.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Show

What makes HADESTOWN so special? Well, it’s not just the awards, though they are certainly impressive! The musical is penned by the talented Anaïs Mitchell, a celebrated singer-songwriter, who has brought her unique voice to musical theater. Alongside her, Rachel Chavkin, the original director and Tony Award winner, helped transform this indie theater project into a genre-defying masterpiece.

Originally a project that toured around Vermont, HADESTOWN began its life as an acclaimed album before making its way to the bright lights of Broadway. Since its opening at the Walter Kerr Theatre on April 17, 2019, it has captivated audiences with a blend of modern American folk and New Orleans-inspired jazz music. The story intertwines two epic love tales: one follows the young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, while the other delves into the relationship of the powerful King Hades and his wife Persephone.

What Can You Expect?

Get ready for a theatrical experience that combines remarkable storytelling with splendid musical numbers. The show isn’t just a concert; it’s a journey to the underworld and back, inviting audiences to explore themes of love, doubt, and the battle between nature and industry. With beguiling melodies and a vibrant ensemble of talented performers, HADESTOWN promises a profoundly moving and uplifting experience.

Since its world premiere in 2016 at the New York Theatre Workshop, HADESTOWN has gone on to become the longest-running show in that theater’s prestigious history. It has stunned audiences not just in the U.S. but also had successful engagements in Canada and the U.K. — showing just how universal its themes are.
