Hadestown

The Daily Northwestern's 'Reel Thoughts' column has published a positive review of the stage musical 'Hadestown', declaring it was worth the wait. The piece adds to ongoing praise for Anaïs Mitchell's Tony-winning show, which retells the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice through a folk and jazz-inflected score. Coverage like this reflects continued student and critic enthusiasm for the production's music and staging.

Hadestown has returned to the London West End with a new cast, and early reactions suggest the production is now richer, clearer and even more intoxicating than before. Critics and theatregoers are praising the fresh company's performances, with some calling it quite possibly the best show currently playing in the West End.
