- 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. - Развлечения
oh I can already tell I'm going to like this version of Hermes.
100% she was fantastic and such a new take, love that they're all keeping their accents - seems like an incredible cast across the board honestly
I adore all of this and hope dearly that this cast will get a recording as well
PLEASE
NEED to hear this Hermes rendition of Way Down Hadestown
this cast is so exciting omg
I want to see more recordings from this night so bad, it seems there are more?
Mat Cauthon? What are you doing here?
Exactly what I thought! I hope they make a West End Cast album, his voice is beautiful
Where can I find the full show of this?
How disappointing the lack of knowledge about this amazing show and several of the leads know nothing going in.
I think it's refreshing. They're young, jobbing actors who will hopefully bring something new to the show, instead of imitating Eve and Reese etc.
