HADESTOWN's Bradley King Wins 2019 Tony Award for Best Lighting Design of a Musical

Bradley King has won the 2019 Tony Award for Best Lighting Design of a Musical for Hadestown.

Bradley King is a lighting designer based in New York City. His collaborations with Rachel Chavkin include Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 (Broadway), Lempicka, Preludes, The Fairy Tale Lives of Russian Girls (Yale Rep), three previous incarnations of Hadestown, and more. His recent work includes Bernhardt/Hamlet (Broadway) as well as shows for MCC Theater, Roundabout Theatre Company, Playwrights Horizons, Atlantic Theater Company, New York Theatre Workshop, Signature Theatre and many others. Numerous regional theatre and opera productions across the U.S. and worldwide.

Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales - that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone - as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Anais Mitchell's beguiling melodies and Rachel Chavkin's poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
