Paulo Szot in Hadestown
The Broadway production of the Tony-winning musical Hadestown, continuing its run at the Walter Kerr Theatre, has released a new video spotlighting current star Paulo Szot.
Watch the South Pacific Tony winner, who plays Hades, perform “His Kiss, the Riot” in the video below.
Hadestown, now in its seventh year on Broadway, also currently
stars Morgan Dudley as Eurydice, Kurt Elling as Hermes, Allison Russell
as Persephone, and Jack Wolfe as
Orpheus; all five artists will play their final performances March 1.
The cast also features Jessie Shelton, Kay Trinidad, and Brit West
as the Fates with the chorus of Workers played by Emily Afton, Malcolm
Armwood, Jeffrey Cornelius, Sydney Parra, and Alex Puette. The company
also includes swings Sojourner Brown, Brandon Cameron, Ayla
Ciccone-Burton, KC Dela Cruz, Tara Jackson, Max Kumangai, Gregory Treco,
and Tanner Ray Wilson. Casting is by Whitley Theatrical.
Purchase Hadestown memorabilia in the Playbill Store.
Hadestown is also about to begin 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
opened across the globe in Sydney, Melbourne, and Amsterdam last year. A
new production will open in Brazil this coming 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.
