Screening of the filmed West End production of Hadestown, the Tony Award-winning musical about Orpheus and Eurydice, with the original Broadway stars.
Hadestown is showing at QUAD in Derby until Sunday 15 November, the final screening starting at 12:30. It's the Tony Award-winning musical filmed live on stage at the Lyric Theatre in London's West End, with the original Broadway stars on screen.
The show is a reimagining of the ancient tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, set against the backdrop of Hades and Persephone. It's a genre-defying piece that blends modern American folk with New Orleans-inspired jazz, following two intertwining love stories: the young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and King Hades and his wife Persephone. The production won eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical, and the 2020 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album.
Because it was filmed live at the Lyric, you get the full stage production on the big screen rather than a traditional film adaptation. The original Broadway stars lead the cast, and the whole thing runs 142 minutes. It's rated PG, so it's one you can bring the family along to if you're fancying a matinee.
