Hadestown had some Broadway-crossover holiday cheer at their December 27 dressing room door decorating contest. The show invited a few special guest judges. Harmony's Comedian Harmonists Danny Kornfeld, Sean Bell, Eddie Grey, Eric Peters, and Blake Roman travelled from the Barrymore Theatre to the Walter Kerr between shows to help choose the winners. Check out photos in the gallery below.
First place went to Brian Presti, whose door was titled "Light Your Own Christmas." In second place were The Fates (Lindsey Hailes, Belén Moyano, and Brit West) for their "The Fates of Christmas" door, and third place went to Worker Room #5 (Malcolm Armwood, Brandon Cameron, Chibueze Ihuoma, Max Kumangai and David Wayne) for their "Renaissance x Renaissance" themed door.
