Producers of the Tony and Grammy Award-winning Best Musical Hadestown, currently playing its third smash-hit year in London’s West End, today announce the first-ever UK & Ireland tour beginning February 2027, including Lowry in Salford from 9 – 20 March 2027.
Blending American songwriting traditions, from indie folk, to pop, blues, and New Orleans-inspired jazz, Hadestown has music, lyrics, and book by acclaimed Tony and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winner Anaïs Mitchell who originated Hadestown as an indie theatre project and acclaimed album, before transforming the show into a genre-defying new musical alongside artistic collaborator and Tony Award-winning director Rachel Chavkin.
Hadestown takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone. A deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience, Hadestown invites you to imagine how the world could be.
The critically acclaimed West End run continues at London’s Lyric Theatre, more than eight years after its sold-out engagement at the National Theatre in 2018.
Mara Isaacs (Producer), said:
“We are thrilled to bring Hadestown to audiences across the UK and Ireland. This is a show that has moved and captivated audiences in London and around the world – and for good reason. Anaïs Mitchell’s extraordinary score, combined with a story about love and hope in the face of impossible odds, creates an evening in the theatre unlike any other. Once you’ve heard it, you won’t be able to get it out of your head. UK and Ireland – wait for us. We’re coming.”
Tickets go on sale from 10am on Friday 5th June and can be booked thelowry.com. For more information and to book the newly announced venues visit tour.hadestown.com.
