Screening of the filmed West End version of the Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown, with original Broadway stars, at Warwick Arts Centre.
Hadestown: The Musical comes to the Warwick Arts Centre cinema on Wednesday 28 October, a filmed version of the West End production. It's not a live stage show, but a screening of the musical filmed live in London, so you get the full production on a big screen rather than in a theatre seat.
For those who haven't come across it, Hadestown is a reimagining of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, set against the backdrop of King Hades and his wife Persephone. It blends modern American folk with New Orleans-inspired jazz, and it's a bit of a genre-defier — part folk concert, part musical theatre. The story follows two intertwining love stories: the young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and the ruling couple of the Underworld.
This particular version was filmed in London's West End and features the show's original Broadway stars: Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Amber Gray, Eva Noblezada, and Patrick Page. The production itself has a strong pedigree, picking up eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical, and the 2020 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album.
