The international hit musical Hadestown, the 2019 Tony winner for Best Musical, welcomed an all-new principal cast to the Walter Kerr Theatre March 3. Check out the new company in the video montage above and the photo gallery below.

Joining the long-running production earlier this month were Tony and Grammy winner J. Harrison Ghee (Some Like It Hot, Saturday Church, Accused) as Hermes, Disney Channel and Broadway actor Joshua Colley (Descendants: The Rise of Red, Sex Appeal, Newsies) as Orpheus, The Notebook and Gypsy star Jordan Tyson as Eurydice, TV and film star Gary Dourdan (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, A Different World, The Weekend) in his Broadway debut as Hades, and Grammy and Latin Grammy winner Gaby Moreno (X Mí (Vol. 1), Alegoría, Illusion) in her Broadway debut as Persephone.

The Broadway cast also features Shea Renne, Jessie Shelton, and Kay Trinidad as the Fates with the chorus of Workers played by Emily Afton, Malcolm Armwood, Jeffrey Cornelius, Sydney Parra, and Alex Puette.

Hadestown, which is in its seventh year on Broadway, is currently in its third year in the West End (the musical returned to London six years after its 2018 engagement at the National Theatre). The record-breaking North American tour completed its coast-to-coast three-year run in 2024, and productions have opened across the globe in Sydney, Melbourne, and Amsterdam last year. A new staging will open in Brazil this summer.

Singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell’s folk- and jazz-infused musical layers the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice with that of Hades and Persephone, intertwining the actions—and consequences—of gods and mortals. Hadestown originally began as a theatrical concert performed by Mitchell.

The creative team features Tony-winning set designer Rachel Hauck, Tony-nominated costume designer Michael Krass, Tony-winning lighting designer Bradley King, Tony-winning sound designers Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz, choreographer David Neumann, and dramaturg Ken Cerniglia. Musical supervision and vocal arrangements are by Liam Robinson, with arrangements and orchestrations by Tony winners Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose.

The show, featuring a book and score by Mitchell, won eight 2019 Tony Awards: Best Director of a Musical (Rachel Chavkin), Best Featured Actor in a Musical (André De Shields), Best Lighting Design of a Musical (Bradley King), Best Scenic Design of a Musical (Rachel Hauck), Best Sound Design of a Musical (Jessica Paz and Nevin Steinberg), Best Orchestrations (Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose), Best Original Score (Mitchell), and Best Musical.
