Hadestown: The Musical, Featuring Original Broadway Leads, Will Be Released in Cinemas in July

The live, West End capture of the Tony-winning Best Musical Hadestown will be released theatrically in North America July 24. The filmed stage performance will subsequently be released in the U.K. on a date to be announced. 

Entitled Hadestown: The Musical, the capture features the five original principal cast members of the Broadway company: Reeve Carney as Orpheus, André De Shields in his Tony-winning performance as Hermes, Amber Gray as Persephone, Eva Noblezada as Eurydice, and Patrick Page as Hades. The original Broadway cast members returned to their roles in 2025 for a limited engagement at London's Lyric Theatre; three performances were filmed.

The stage production, written by Anaïs Mitchell and directed by Rachel Chavkin, was filmed by director Brett Sullivan of Steam Motion and Sound. Bleecker Street's event cinema division Crosswalk and LD Entertainment acquired the rights for North America and all English speaking territories.

“We are eager to share this iconic performance of Hadestown, featuring a unique combination of our original Broadway cast and West End company, made for the big screen,” producer Mara Isaacs said in a statement. “A great deal of love and care has gone into capturing the show on film, allowing it to live beyond the stage and reach new audiences around the world for years to come.”

“We are thrilled to be embarking on our second Crosswalk release and couldn’t be happier to be partnered with our friends at LD,” added Bleecker CEO Kent Sanderson. “Hadestown has touched the hearts of so many people around the world, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share it even more widely with this beautifully accomplished film.”

The full West End cast featured in the film also includes Bella Brown, Madeline Charlemagne, and Allie Daniel as the Fates; Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Ryesha Higgs, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short as the Workers; and Lucinda Buckley, Francessca Daniella-Baker, Winny Herbert, and Miriam Nyarko as Swings.

This is the first of a series of Broadway live captures that Crosswalk and LD plan on embarking on together. 

Hadestown is in its seventh year on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre and in its third year in the West End (returning to London, five 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 played to acclaim across the globe in South Korea, Sydney, Melbourne, and Amsterdam.

Singer-songwriter 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.

Hadestown is produced on Broadway by Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, and Tom Kirdahy. They also serve as producers on the film.
