Trafalgar Releasing has today announced the theatrical release date for Hadestown: The Musical, which will be screened at The Gateway Theatre for one afternoon only.
The international hit musical comes to the big screen! HADESTOWN: THE MUSICAL is the genre-defying musical blending modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale of two intertwining love stories, that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and King Hades and his wife Persephone. Filmed live on stage in London’s West End and featuring the original Broadway stars, HADESTOWN: THE MUSICAL invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.
Filmed live at the Lyric Theatre in London’s West End, Hadestown: The Musical features the five original Broadway principals: Reeve Carney (The Great Gatsby, Cabaret), André De Shields (The Wiz, Ain’t Misbehavin’), Amber Gray (The Rocky Horror Show, Eureka Day), Eva Noblezada (Miss Saigon, Les Misérables), and Patrick Page (The Gilded Age, Julius Caesar), with members of the original West End cast.
Winner of eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical, and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album, Hadestown has established itself as a genre-defying global theatre phenomenon, blending modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale.
Written by Anaïs Mitchell (Young Man in America, Child Ballads) and directed by Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812), Hadestown follows two intertwining love stories – young dreamers Orpheus (Carney) and Eurydice (Noblezada), and King Hades (Page) and his wife Persephone (Gray) – as messenger-to-the-gods Hermes (De Shields) guides audiences on a journey to the underworld and back.
The Hadestown creative team includes David Neumann (Choreography), Rachel Hauck (Scenic Design), Michael Krass (Costume Design), Bradley King (Lighting Design), Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz (Sound Design), Liam Robinson (Music supervision and Vocal Arrangements), Michael Chorney and Todd
