The live theater capture of the hit musical Hadestown, which won eight Tony Awards in 2019 including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, featuring the five original principals of the Broadway company. The genre-defying new musical blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale. Following two intertwining love stories -- that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone -- Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

3.5/4

Move over "Odyssey," here’s another Greek tragedy of love and war, done as a fabulous musical. Initially set for a five-day limited run, this live capture of the stage smash has been extended by popular demand. Hit it.

A splendid opportunity for anyone who hasn’t seen “Hadestown” onstage to experience it. The audience we see at this production at the West End’s Lyric Theatre is so in love with the show that you feel every person there has already seen it three times.

This production feels like a fleeting moment — a reunion of friends and collaborators retelling a myth that is recounted over and over again.

Mitchell’s music effortlessly blends American folk, blues, New Orleans jazz, and gospel influences into something wholly original.

Mitchell’s musical hodgepodge offers banal songs that are half-churchy, half profane.

I loved getting to see the proshot. However, I feel like some of the camera angles really brought you out the musical and away from being able to see the actor’s emotions. While I sometimes enjoyed seeing the audiences reaction, I feel like some moments on stage were missed because the camera was waiting for the audiences reaction as opposed to the character’s emotion. I really enjoyed seeing most of this cast portrayal, I feel like there was an evident difference between just listening to the musical and hearing the choices they as the actors were making within each scene.

This is one of the most amazing musicals ever. It was so moving, being able to see all the little details of the actors faces. Is something that is harder to see in the theater. I loved it
