Hadestown London Theatre Breaks
Let the fires of hell keep you warm this winter on a Hadestown Theatre Break – the award-winning musical at London’s Lyric Theatre
Award-winning Hadestown comes to London’s West End from Broadway, full of New Orleans Jazz and Blues riffs to re-tell the story of Orphueus and Eurydice and their run-in with Hades – the king of the Greek underworld.
The show takes place in a New Orleans-style club where Orpheus (a song writer) meets Eurydice and immediately falls in love with her . But Eurydice dies and goes to the underworld (aka Hadestown) so Orpheus goes to Hades to try to get her back, but first he must pass a test .
Hadestown Awards
the Broadway production of HADESTOWN won 8 Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Anaïs Mitchell’s standout score , which first saw light of day in a concept album back in 2010, won the Grammy Award® for Best Musical Theatre Album.
