WELCOME TO HADESTOWN - 'YOUR NEXT MUSICAL THEATRE OBSESSION' Vogue.
UK & IRELAND TOUR | BEGINS FEBRUARY 2027
The smash-hit Broadway and West End musical sensation by singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and director Rachel Chavkin is heading out on its first ever UK and Ireland Tour.
‘Big, beautiful and emotionally blasting’ (The Guardian), HADESTOWN is the winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Grammy Award® for Best Musical Theatre Album. Seen by over six million, streamed by nearly a billion and adored by fans around the world, this record-breaking musical is ‘the most exhilarating ride’ (WhatsOnStage).
HADESTOWN takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two ancient Greek 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.

Vesta Tilley laid the foundation stone of what is now the Sunderland Empire on 29 September 1906 and took to the stage on 1 July 1907 to officially declare the theatre open. Masterminded by two of the contemporary heads of British theatre, Edward Moss and Oswald Stoll, the Sunderland Empire Theatre has undergone many changes since it opened but remains the North East’s premier entertainment venue.
