Hadestown (Broadway)

219 West 48th Street · New York, NY

Why you should go…

Anais Mitchell's Hadestown blends New Orleans jazz and American folk music to retell the Greek myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, and Hades and Persephone. It won eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best Musical and has become the longest-running production at the Walter Kerr Theatre. The intimate staging puts the band on stage as part of the action.

Good to know

General theatre & events guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Curtain time is firm

    Latecomers are commonly held at the back until a scene break, so build in a buffer.

  • Study the seating chart

    Price and sightline vary a lot within the same house. A few rows back can be the better seat.

  • Rush and lottery seats exist

    Many venues release same-day tickets at a discount if you are flexible about where you sit.

  • Arrive with time to spare

    Parking, bag check, and finding your row all take longer than you think on a full house.
