Run Time: 2h 30m
Over 20 original songs
Hadestown is Anaïs Mitchell’s contemporary mythology adaptation of Orpheus and Eurydice’s love story. After penning the original scores and scripts in 2010, she turned to accoladed stage director Rachel Chavkin for assistance in 2012. Together, the twosome polished the play for public, off-Broadway showings that began in 2016. Hadestown would graduate from its humble beginnings to a aspirational position on Broadway and other beloved stages in London and Canada, making it a global triumph.
Join us in the Underworld, where Hades runs a productive but stringent factory called Hadestown. The subterranean workers perform their unceasing duties daily in hopes they’ll eventually earn their autonomy. Meanwhile, Orpheus and Eurydice enjoy a growing love above ground, despite the challenges of winter’s famine.
Once Hades forces his wife Persephone to return to Hadestown, an early winter sharpens above-ground hungers. Eurydice, affected by insatiable yearnings and influenced by the tempting song of the Fates, obsesses over the security Hadestown promises. She eventually makes her way to the underground industrial complex and signs a contract in exchange for survival.
Her contract snares her, and it’s up to Orpheus to rescue his bride-to-be. But an unswaying Hades, pressured by his disquieted workforce, stands firm in the contractual agreement. Can Orpheus free his one true love with Persephone’s help? Or will Hades force Eurydice to do his bidding forever?
In 2019, the musical won 14 nominations and eight awards at the 73rd Tony Awards. Hadestown would also claim a 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater. Its glittering achievements and full-house audiences demonstrate the play’s kinship with a modern era while combining classical elements from the past.
The Tony-winning Broadway show features two acts with more than 20 original songs performed by a exemplary cast. Durham Performing Arts Center will ensure your comfort throughout the 2h 30m performance with an intermission midway through the show, comfortable seating, and refreshments available for purchase.
