Lola Tung joins the Hadestown cast!

The Summer I Turned Pretty star is making her Broadway debut

The Summer I Turned Pretty star, Lola Tung, is making her Broadway debut in the production Hadestown! She will be taking on the role of Eurydice, currently played by Solea Pfeiffer. Tung will join the cast from February 9th until March 17th.

After a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway run at the New York Theater Workshop in the summer of 2016, the extraordinarily inventive folk opera Hadestown has now found a permanent home on the main stem. The brainchild of celebrated indie-folk singer-songwriter Anais Mitchell and Tony-nominated experimental theatre director Rachel Chavkin, the musical fuses elements of Greek mythology with Mitchell's emotionally charged concept album of the same name.

WHAT IS HADESTOWN ABOUT?

This 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.
