Hadestown was the most honored show of the 2018-2019 Broadway season. In addition to the show’s eight Tony Awards including Best New Musical and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, it has been honored with four Drama Desk Awards, six Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Outstanding New Broadway Musical, and the Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Musical.
The acclaimed musical is by celebrated singer-songwriter and Tony Award winner Anaïs Mitchell and developed with original director and Tony Award winner Rachel Chavkin. Hadestown marks the first time in over a decade that a woman has been the solo author of a musical: writing the music, lyrics, and book, and is the fourth time in Broadway history a woman has accomplished this creative feat. The tour is directed by Keenan Tyler Oliphant based on the original Broadway direction and featuring a new tour concept by Rachel Chavkin. The tour is choreographed by T. Oliver Reid based on the original Broadway choreography by David Neumann. The creative team features David Arsenault (set design based on the original Broadway design by Rachel Hauck); four-time Tony Award® nominee Michael Krass (costume design); Aja Jackson (lighting design based on the original Broadway design by Bradley King); Tony Award® winners Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz (sound design); Liam Robinson (music consultant and vocal arrangements); Cody Owen Stine (music supervision); and Whitley Theatrical (casting). The production team also includes Sightline Productions (Production Supervisor). RCI Theatricals serves as General Manager with Mark Lunsford as Creative Producer.
Hadestown electrified audiences with its 2016 world premiere at New York Theatre Workshop, which is the longest-running show in that celebrated theater’s 40-year history. The production then received its Canadian premiere at Edmonton’s Citadel Theatre in 2017 and then a 2018 sold-out engagement at the London’s National Theatre. Hadestown was developed with funding from the Eli and Edythe Broad Stage at the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center and was further developed by The Ground Floor at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Hadestown was co-conceived by Ben t. Matchstick.
