Some musicals take a hellish road to the Great White Way. For “Hadestown,” whose plot entwines stories from Greek mythology focused on Hades, Persephone, Orpheus, Eurydice, Hermes, and the Fates, hell features prominently on-stage as one of its literal settings. After a tortuous, and one might say hellish, decade-plus gestation period from minor stage productions to a concept album to professional mountings in New York and abroad, the musical from composer and librettist Anaïs Mitchell has finally arrived on Broadway, opening at the Walter Kerr Theatre on April 17.
Tony nominee Rachel Chavkin helped develop and directs the Broadway mounting of “Hadestown,” which boasts a cast of theatre stalwarts and newer thespians alike, including two-time Tony-nominee André De Shields, Eva Noblezada (“Miss Saigon”), Patrick Page, Amber Gray, and Reeve Carney.
