Hadestown is in town and Chicagoans are in for a taste of heaven. Hadestown is a musical about the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus takes a trip to hell to rescue his love and has a devil of a time in the process. The production itself also went through the fire before eventually becoming a success.
After opening in Barre, Vermont in 2006, Hadestown was workshopped before the Off-Broadway stint in 2016. The Broadway production came in 2019 garnering 14 Tony nominations and won eight of them.
