After winning eight Tony awards in the summer, Broadway musical Hadestown has now added a Grammy award to its trophy cabinet. Featuring a score by Anais Mitchell, Hadestown won the award for Best Musical Theater Album at the 2020 ceremony.
Currently playing at the Walter Kerr Theater, Hadestown beat fellow Broadway hits, Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child's "The Music of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - In Four Contemporary Suites" and Oklahoma! to the coveted prize.
Anais Mitchell accepted the award at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards on January 26. The win is shared with the company's principal vocalists (Amber Gray, Eva Noblezada, Patrick Page, Reeve Carney, and Andre De Shields) and its producers, Mara Isaacs, David Lai, and Todd Sickafoose.
The current cast of Hadestown includes Eva Noblezada as Eurydice, Andre De Shields as Hermes, Reeve Carney as Orpheus, Amber Gray as Persephone, Patrick Page as Hades and Jewelle Blackman, Yvette Gonzales-Nacer and Kay Trinidad as the Fates.
The musical is directed by Rachel Chavkin with choreography by David Neumann, musical direction by Liam Robinson, orchestrations by Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose, set design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Michael Krass, lighting design by Bradley King and sound design by Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz.
This new musical transports 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
