Theatrical release date announced for HADESTOWN THE MUSICAL

Trafalgar Releasing has announced the theatrical release date for Hadestown The Musical, which will be in cinemas across the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand on 13 October for a limited time only. 

Filmed live at the Lyric Theatre in London’s West End, Hadestown The Musical features the five original Broadway principals: Reeve Carney (The Great Gatsby, Cabaret), André De Shields (The Wiz, Ain’t Misbehavin’), Amber Gray (The Rocky Horror Show, Eureka Day), Eva Noblezada (Miss Saigon, Les Misérables), and Patrick Page (The Gilded Age, Julius Caesar), with members of the original West End cast. 

Winner of eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical, and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album, Hadestown has established itself as a genre-defying global theatre phenomenon, blending modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale. 

Written by Anaïs Mitchell and directed by Rachel Chavkin, Hadestown follows two intertwining love stories – young dreamers Orpheus (Carney) and Eurydice (Noblezada), and King Hades (Page) and his wife Persephone (Gray) – as messenger-to-the-gods Hermes (De Shields) guides audiences on a journey to the underworld and back. 

The stage production was filmed in London by director Brett Sullivan of Steam Motion and Sound. 

The Hadestown creative team includes choreographer David Neumann, set designer Rachel Hauck, costume designer Michael Krass, lighting designer Bradley King, sound designers Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz, musical supervisor and vocal arranger Liam Robinson, arrangers and orchestrators Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose, dramaturg Ken Cerniglia, UK casting director Jacob Sparrow, and US Casting by Benton Whitley CSA and Duncan Stewart CSA.
