A whole new principal company went way down under the ground in the Tony-winning Best Musical Hadestown beginning
September 1 at Broadway’s Walter Kerr Theatre.

The new company is led by Jasmin Savoy Brown (Yellowjackets, Scream, The Leftovers) as Eurydice, two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Catch Me if You Can) as Hermes, Tony nominee Amber Iman (Lempicka, Black Swan) as Persephone, pop-rock musician and songwriter Kayko in his Broadway debut as Orpheus, and Tony Honoree Ben Davis (Ragtime, Baz Luhrmann’s La Bohème) as Hades. 

Watch the new company take their first bows in the New York production of the international hit musical in the gallery below.

The new actors joined Kelly Belarmino, KC Dela Cruz, and Khori
Michelle Petinaud as the Fates, with the chorus of Workers played by
Emily Afton, Malcolm Armwood, Jeffrey Cornelius, Sydney Parra, and Alex
Puette. Swings are Brandon Cameron, Tara Jackson, Max Kumangai, and Alex
Lugo.

Hadestown is now in its eighth year on Broadway 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 three-year run in 2024, and productions have
played to acclaim across the globe in South Korea, Sydney, Melbourne,
and Amsterdam. The film version of Hadestown was a recent hit in cinemas.

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.
