HADESTOWN Will Embark on First-Ever UK and Ireland Tour in 2027

Hadestown, currently playing its third year in London's West End, has announced its first-ever UK & Ireland tour beginning February 2027. 

The highly anticipated tour of Hadestown will open at the Curve Theatre, Leicester on 19 February 2027, before visiting Salford, Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham, Milton Keynes, Southampton, Norwich, Canterbury, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Cardiff, Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast, Sheffield, Hull, Plymouth, Wolverhampton, Chester, and Sunderland. Further dates, casting and full creative team to be announced.

Blending American songwriting traditions, from indie folk, to pop, blues, and New Orleans-inspired jazz, Hadestown has music, lyrics, and book by acclaimed Tony and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winner Anaïs Mitchell who originated Hadestown as an indie theatre project and acclaimed album, before transforming the show into a genre-defying new musical alongside artistic collaborator and Tony Award-winning director Rachel Chavkin.

Mara Isaacs (Producer), said: “We are thrilled to bring Hadestown to audiences across the UK and Ireland. This is a show that has moved and captivated audiences in London and around the world - and for good reason. Anaïs Mitchell's extraordinary score, combined with a story about love and hope in the face of impossible odds, creates an evening in the theatre unlike any other. Once you've heard it, you won't be able to get it out of your head. UK and Ireland - wait for us. We're coming.”

Anaïs Mitchell (Music, Lyrics & Book), said: “I'm thrilled that Hadestown will be touring across the UK and Ireland! Our West End casts have taught us that these songs sound right at home in every lilt and brogue… we are thrilled to bring this story and music to folks all over and see what new resonances will be found.”      

Hadestown takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone.  A deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience, Hadestown invites you to imagine how the world could be.

Hadestown is the winner of 8 Tony Awards on Broadway including ‘Best Musical' and a Grammy Award for ‘Best Musical Theatre Album.' The Original Broadway Cast Recording has become one of the most streamed cast albums of all time with nearly one billion streams to date and has recently been certified Gold by The Recording Industry Association of America. 

The critically acclaimed West End run continues at London's Lyric Theatre, more than eight years after its sold-out engagement at The National Theatre in 2018.
