Last year's Tony Award-winning 'Best Musical' Hadestown offcially opened at the Walter Kerr Theatre on April 17, 2019. To mark its 1-year anniversary on the Great White Way, the fan favorite show is celebrating online with a free living room live stream event. Tune in to the official Facebook and Instagram pages of Hadestown from 6:30pm (ET) tonight to join Tony Award-winning writer, composer & lyricist Anaïs Mitchell and the musical's Broadway stars Reeve Carney and Eva Noblezada for a special anniversary celebration, as the trio gather virtually to perform songs from the hit tuner.

Under the direction of co-creator Rachel Chavkin, Hadestown staged its world premiere at New York Theatre Workshop in May 2016 and went on to receive its Canadian premiere at Edmonton's Citadel Theatre in November 2017, followed by its UK premiere at the National Theatre in London from November 2018 through January 2019. The Broadway premiere began previews at the Walter Kerr Theatre on March 22, 2019, and opened to excellent reviews on April 17. It went on to win a total of 8 Tony Awards alongside a host of accolades, including the Grammy Award for 'Best Musical Theater Album.'

A National Tour is currently scheduled to launch this fall.

Synopsis: "Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell's beguiling melodies and Chavkin's poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience."

The principal cast of Hadestown includes Reeve Carney (as Orpheus), Tony Award winner André De Shields (as Hermes), Tony Award nominee Amber Gray (as Persephone), two-time Tony Award nominee Eva Noblezada (as Eurydice), and Tony Award nominee Patrick Page (as Hades), alongside Jewelle Blackman, Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer, and Kay Trinidad (as The Fates).

The creative team behind Hadestown features choreography by David Neumann, music direction & vocal arrangements by Liam Robinson, arrangements & orchestrations by Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose, scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Michael Krass, lighting design by Bradley King, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, and dramaturgy by Ken Cerniglia.

Hadestown is produced on Broadway by Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, and Tom Kirdahy.
