A struggling musician follows the woman he loves into the underworld in Hadestown: The Musical, a 2026 concert film capturing the acclaimed stage production live at the Lyric Theatre in London.
What is Hadestown: The Musical about?
The story braids two love stories into one: the ancient tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice, and the volatile, older bond between Hades and Persephone. Eurydice, worn down by hardship and poverty, is drawn into Hadestown, the industrial underworld ruled by Hades, in search of stability and warmth. Orpheus, a musician with more talent than money, follows her down in an attempt to bring her back to the world above, testing whether love and song can hold their own against a place built on control. Filmed live with the core five original Broadway cast members reprising their roles on a London stage, the recording preserves the production's staging, choreography and live orchestration exactly as an in-person audience experienced them.
About the cast
Reeve Carney and Eva Noblezada lead as Orpheus and Eurydice, with André De Shields, Patrick Page and Amber Gray reprising Hermes, Hades and Persephone alongside Bella Brown, Madeline Charlemagne and Allie Daniel, the same core company that built the show's reputation on Broadway.
Context & significance
Directed for the screen by Brett Sullivan, this is a filmed-theatre release rather than a studio adaptation, made in the United Kingdom and the United States to document a specific run of the stage show as closely as possible. At 141 minutes, it preserves the full musical rather than a condensed cut, letting the folk-and-jazz score and the show's blend of myth and modern staging play out at its original pace.
