Production photo from the musical Hadestown, showing the full ensemble on a wooden stage set designed like a tavern, with a live band positioned on platforms to either side. In the center, Hermes sings into a vintage microphone wearing a light gray suit, gesturing toward the audience. To his left, Eurydice stands alone in a black coat with a backpack, looking toward him. To his right, Orpheus stands in a cream-colored work shirt and apron with a red cloth in his hand, gazing back at Eurydice across the circle. Behind Hermes, the ensemble of workers reaches out with extended arms, while three women in patterned dresses pose dramatically upstage with their arms raised. The scene is lit in warm amber tones downstage and cool blue light upstage.

About Hadestown: The Musical

Winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album, Hadestown: The Musical is the genre-defying musical blending modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale of two intertwining love stories, that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and King Hades and his wife Persephone.

Filmed live on stage in London’s West End and featuring the original Broadway stars, Hadestown: The Musical invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

Please note: the screening on Friday 23 October includes subtitles for dialogue and lyrics only.

  1. Two figures stand on a vast, arid coastal flat under a pale, hazy sky. In the foreground, an older man with silver-streaked hair and a full grey beard wears a coarse, draped olive-green robe, his expression stern and weathered. Behind him, a younger woman in cream-coloured linen — a sleeveless dress and a loose head wrap — looks forward with a furrowed brow. The landscape stretches behind them: shallow tidal mudflats reflecting muted light, with low rocky ridges visible in the far distance. The overall palette is desaturated and sun-bleached.

  2. Three South Asian musicians perform outdoors on a colorful patterned rug. The central figure wears a vivid red embroidered vest with tasseled fringe and a red-and-purple striped turban, playing a double-piped wind instrument (likely a satara/algoza). To the left, a man in a white kurta and embroidered vest plays a stringed instrument resting on his lap. To the right, a man in a blue cap and patterned vest plays a dhol-style hand drum. A fourth partially visible person sits behind them. The backdrop shows a mud-brick structure and dense green trees under a hazy sky.
