SUMMARY:Hadestown
DESCRIPTION:HADESTOWN \nA Valentine Premiere! • The National Tour! No vouchers accepted. \nThursday\, February 25\, 2027 at 7:30 p.m. \nWelcome to Hadestown\, where a song can change your fate — a love story for today — and always. Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice\, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Hadestown is an optimistic theatrical musical experience that grabs you and never lets go. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature\, doubt against faith\, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors\, dancers\, and singers\, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful experience. Welcome to the intriguing and beautiful world of your next musical theater obsession. \nCall the box office at 419-242-2787 for ADA seating.
