- We went way down underground to Jack Solomon's Bar in Soho to watch the freshly revealed cast of Hadestown and writer Anaïs Mitchell discuss the show and perform some special nubmers from the piece.
The critically acclaimed show comes back to the UK after five years, with tickets on sale now. Playing at the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in London from 10 February 2024, it features music, lyrics, and book by Mitchell, a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, and direction by Tony Award-winner Rachel Chavkin.
The show is a genre-defying new musical that tells two mythic love stories - that of Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone - with both on a journey to the underworld and back.
Playing Orpheus is Dónal Finn (The Wheel of Time), while Eurydice is to be portrayed by Grace Hodgett-Young, currently appearing as Betty in Sunset Boulevard. Taking on the role of Hermes will be Melanie La Barrie (& Juliet), with Persephone played by Gloria Onitiri (Cinderella) and Hades played by Zachary James (Philip Glass’s Akhnaten). Playing the three Fates will be Madeline Charlemagne, Allie Daniel and Bella Brown.Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Beth Hinton-Lever, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short will play the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Ryesha Higgs, Miriam Nyarko, and Simon Oskarsson as Swings.
The performance deserves a cast recording please
good news, the westend cast recording is out on the 6th of december!
The cast recording is out since last year! It is the best one yet
i love that hermes has a caribbean accent omg!!! 🥺 she's perfect!!!
Her name is Melanie La Berrie!! She's currently in & Juliet on Broadway till hadestown opens in the west end.
I’m so so obsessed with this Hermes! She’s amazing.
Being half west indie I smiled when I heard her accent❤
@@TheMaleSopranoright? My first reaction was “oh wow she’s leaving & Juliet then”
I luved her accent! ! It works well for this character
This new cast’s voices are beautiful. If this gets a cast recorded I will be listening non stop!
I love Eurydice's little smile when Hermes' gives the big speel at the end because me too, girl. Me too.
Best Orpheus yet. Saw it yesterday and I automatically want to see it a million times over
Hadestown has that effect I felt the exact same way after I saw it on tour
Dónal and Mel's accents really just give the westend version that little oomph
The minute Orpheus opened his mouth! Omg please release a west end recording !
I'm pretty sure that Orpheus is Mat from The Wheel of Time! AMAZING voice!!
