Hadestown: The Musical at The Castro Theatre

Hadestown comes to The Castro Theatre as a filmed live-theater capture rather than a touring production. The score blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz, retelling the intertwined love stories of Orpheus and Eurydice and of Hades and Persephone. Audiences follow the young dreamers and the king of the underworld on a journey that goes down to Hadestown and back.

The film brings together the five original Broadway principals, with the remainder of the cast drawn from the West End production, recorded at the Lyric Theatre in London. Seen on the big screen, the production keeps the energy of a stage performance while giving attendees a cinematic view of the band, the ensemble, and the theatrical world of the show.
