After opening on Broadway this month Hadestown has taken the Great White Way by storm and has been nominated for a whopping 14 Tony Awards! Hadestown is the most nominated production of the year and has been nominated for the coveted Best Musical award.
As well as Best Musical, Hadestown is also nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for Eva Noblezada, Best Book of a Musical for creator Anais Mitchell, Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theatre and Best Direction of a Musical for Rachel Chavkin.
The folk/rock opera, which is based on the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, is also nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for Andre De Sheilds, Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for Patrick Page, Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical for Amber Gray, Best Choreography for David Neumann, Best Orchestrations, Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Best Costume Design of a Musical, Best Sound Design of a Musical, and Best Lighting Design of a Musical.
What is Hadestown about?
Transporting the action from ancient Greece to an eclectic setting akin to the buzzing New Orleans scene, Hadestown weaves together the opposing forces of nature and industry, faith and doubt, and love and death to tell the story of the guitar-toting Orpheus and his great love Eurydice as they battle the harsh landscape of Hadestown, an industrial underworld of trouble and toil that makes for a better choice than the winter-ravaged landscape above. Lured by the promise of food and shelter, Eurydice is kidnapped by Hades, a foreman-like figure who rules the mechanicals below. Orpheus sets out to save his wife, setting off a chain reaction of unrest, riot and chaos in his fateful wake.
Hadestown is now playing at the Walter Kerr Theater.
Sumptous. Goregeous. As good as it gets. You wish you could live in the glowy moment forever
