Screening of the West End film of Hadestown, the Tony Award-winning musical about Orpheus and Eurydice, with the original Broadway stars.
Hadestown: The Musical comes to the Warwick Arts Centre on Sunday 15 November, showing in the Cinema. It's a filmed version of the production that ran in London's West End, so you get the full stage show on screen rather than a live performance in the room.
If you haven't come across it, Hadestown is a reimagining of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, run alongside the story of King Hades and his wife Persephone. The two love stories intertwine, and the whole thing is told through a blend of modern American folk and New Orleans-inspired jazz. It's a genre-defying show that doesn't fit neatly into one box, and that's a good part of its appeal.
This particular production features the original Broadway stars: Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Amber Gray, Eva Noblezada and Patrick Page. It's the same show that won eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical, and picked up the 2020 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album. The West End run brought that same cast to the London stage, and this screening lets you see it without having to travel to the capital.

It's rated PG, so it works for a family afternoon. The screening starts at 2pm and runs for 2 hours 22 minutes, which is a fair chunk of the afternoon but not an all-day commitment. Tickets are £19.50, with a reduced price of £17.50 for under-26s and students. You'll find it in the Cinema at the Warwick Arts Centre, University of Warwick, Gibbet Hill Road, Coventry, CV4 7AL.
