Hadestown at Lyric Theatre in London’s West End

Hadestown the Musical – now in its third year in London’s West End.

Hadestown is now booking through to Sunday 13 December 2026, at the Lyric Theatre, London.

Blending American songwriting traditions, from indie folk, to pop, blues, and New Orleans-inspired jazz, Hadestown has music, lyrics, and book by acclaimed Tony® and Grammy®-winning singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winner Anaïs Mitchell who originated Hadestown as an indie theatre project and acclaimed album, before transforming the show into a genre-defying new musical alongside artistic collaborator and Tony® Award-winning director Rachel Chavkin.

Hadestown takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone. A deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience, Hadestown invites you to imagine how the world could be.

David Neumann (Choreography)
Rachel Hauck (Scenic Design)
Michael Krass (Costume Design)
Bradley King (Lighting Design)
