The story
A story about the trials and tribulations of love, Hadestown focuses on two couples — the poverty-ridden Orpheus and Eurydice and the King of the Underworld, Hades and his wife, Persephone. When Persephone is miserable about returning to the Underworld after she visits the world above, Hades heads out to search for someone who will appreciate the offerings of his home. He finds Eurydice and convinces her to move to the Underworld in exchange for food and protection. Eurydice agrees and becomes a worker at Hadestown, the dark underground factory of Hades. When Orpheus finds out, he vows to save Eurydice. What follows is a heartbreaking tale of sacrifice, triumph and the mysterious machinations of fate.

We didnt understand the line before the theater opened, but it went quickly. The staff was really nice and helpfull. Theater was beautiful. The restricted view was little bit surprising but still managed to see most of the show. And the show was amazing, love it so much !!!

The Lyric Theatre is a very nice place. The stage is so near that you're 'inside' the scene. The Actors and Musicians are great, their performance was fantastic and very impressing. The audience was catched from the first movement until the last. I admit I'm a fan of the music of Hadestown for three years now and have listened to it many times. I was overwhelmed to experience it live on stage. Actually this was the reason why we visited London and we are happy we did.
