Hadestown: Teen Edition at Jonathan Alder High School

Hadestown is a reimagining of the ancient tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, one of the most famous love stories in Greek mythology. Orpheus, a gifted musician, possesses a song so beautiful it has the power to move hearts and change fate. When Eurydice, searching for stability, makes a fateful decision, Orpheus sets out on an incredible journey to bring her back. Along the way, they encounter legendary figures from Greek myth, including Hermes, the clever and charismatic messenger; Persephone, the vibrant queen of the seasons; and Hades, a powerful ruler with his own vision of the world.

This musical not only stands out for its beautiful story about resilience but is known for blending the musical genres of New Orleans jazz, folk, and musical theater. If you are a lover of music, you will be blown away by the harmonies and the musicianship that our students and orchestra possess, bringing this classic story to life.

Even if you’re unfamiliar with the original myth, Hadestown is a mesmerizing experience that blends history, fantasy, and music in a way that feels fresh and exciting. Whether you’re a fan of mythology, theater, or simply a great story, this show has something for everyone. Broadway Inbound rates the show for ages 8+.
