Are you looking for Hadestown in Sydney?


The acclaimed musical phenomenon Hadestown has its Melbourne premiere at Her Majesty’s Theatre.

“Big, beautiful and emotionally blasting” (The Guardian UK), Hadestown is the winner of 8 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. Seen by three million, streamed by over 350 million and adored by fans all around the world, this is ‘’your next musical theatre obsession” (Vogue).

Hadestown is a defiantly hopeful theatrical experience that will take you on a 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.

Hadestown invites you to imagine how the world could be.
