If you’re on the fence about attending, let me help push you over with some reasons this show is a must-see.

A Modern Retelling of a Classic Story

For those who might not be familiar, Hadestown takes two well-known myths—those of Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone—and blends them into one mesmerizing musical. But this isn’t your typical mythological retelling. The story, set to hauntingly beautiful folk and jazz music, has been updated with a contemporary twist that feels incredibly relevant. It explores love, sacrifice, and hope with a depth that hits right at the heart.

If you’re someone who loves stories with layered meanings, Hadestown will give you all the feels. It’s about love battling impossible odds.

The Music That Will Stick with You

One of the highlights of Hadestown is its music. With songs by Anaïs Mitchell, the show’s score has a raw, soulful feel that will stick with you long after the curtain falls. Tracks like “Wait for Me” and “Way Down Hadestown” have this unique ability to transport you straight to the underworld. The music captures so much emotion that you’ll find yourself humming and swaying along without even realizing it. And trust me, experiencing this music live is on a whole different level—especially in a venue like the historic State Theatre.

The Magic of the State Theatre

There’s something about seeing a show at the State Theatre that just adds to the magic. With its vintage charm and intimate vibe, the theater itself feels like a step back in time—perfect for a show rooted in mythology. You’re not just watching a performance; you’re drawn right into the story.

It’s rare to find a musical that balances thought-provoking themes with entertainment so seamlessly. And let’s be real—between work, school, and all our responsibilities, we all deserve a night of pure, enthralling escapism.
