 \n\n \n\nAround 2004\, singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell was a twenty-some
 thing Middlebury College graduate when the melody of “Wait for Me” cam
 e to her while driving between performance gigs. She connected the lyrics 
 to the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice\, a favorite of hers as a child.
  The story deepened as she put Orpheus\, the young and creative optimist\,
  against Hades\, the King of the Underworld\, who had a true love of his o
 wn in Persephone\, the Goddess of springtime\, flowers\, and vegetation.\n
 \nIn collaboration with orchestrator/arranger Michael Chorney and original
  director/designer Ben t. Matchstick\, Hadestown made its premiere as a sm
 all performance piece in 2006 at the Old Labor Hall in Barre\, Vermont. Fr
 om 2006 to 2007\, Mitchell performed the show with a group of actors at a 
 number of small venues throughout Vermont and Massachusetts before turning
  it into a concept album in 2010. The album earned international acclaim\,
  which prompted a concert tour to some 60 cities across North America and 
 the U.K. through 2012.\n\nAlong the way\, Mitchell’s agent sent a copy o
 f the album to producer Dale Franzen who caught a performance of Hadestown
  at McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica\, California. Franzen immediate
 ly saw the potential and began further development at The Broad Stage in S
 anta Monica\, also bringing producer Mara Isaacs into the fold.\n\nIn 2012
 \, Mitchell saw the Ars Nova production of Dave Malloy’s Natasha\, Pierr
 e & The Great Comet of 1812\, which transferred to Broadway in 2016. Mitch
 ell felt an immediate connection with the show’s director\, Rachel Chavk
 in\, and the two began collaboration on Hadestown\, which premiered its fu
 lly staged production at New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) in the summer of
  2016. It was during the NYTW run when the show set its sights towards Bro
 adway.\n\nHadestown played two additional pre-Broadway engagements at the 
 Citadel Theatre in Edmonton (Canada) and the National Theatre in London. I
 t began previews on Broadway on March 22\, 2019\, and opened April 17\, 20
 19\, at the Walter Kerr Theatre where it remains today. The Broadway produ
 ction earned eight Tony® Awards including Best Musical\, the Grammy Award
 ® for Best Musical Theater Album\, six Outer Critics Circle Awards includ
 ing Outstanding New Broadway Musical\, four Drama Desk Awards\, and the Dr
 ama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Broadway Musical.\n\nLear
