Want to Create Your Own Meetup for this Event?

This event is a listing — the concert, festival or activity itself. A meetup is your own smaller plan to go to it with other people: your date, your time, your meeting place. “A few of us are going, come with us.”

You don’t need permission and you don’t take anything over — this event isn’t changed at all. The venue, address and details are copied across, so you only pick when and where to meet.

As its organizer you get real tools to plan the when, where & what:

  • 📅 Member Availability — see which days and times everyone says they're usually free, so you know when to hold it.
  • 🎯 Member Interests & Cities — see everyone's interests and locations, so you know where to meet and what to include.
  • 🗺 Member Map — visually shows where most members are concentrated.
  • 🏷️ Activities & Voting — lists the tags and lets members vote on what they want to do.
  • 💬 Event Chat — everyone can discuss plans, who's bringing what, and last-minute changes.
  • ✅ RSVPs — who's coming, how likely, guest counts, and what they're looking forward to.
  • 🔗 Many Ways to Share or Invite — get the word out and grow attendance.

Your meetup starts hidden and set to “Only My Contacts”, with no date, so nothing is announced until you're ready. Nobody is notified when you create it. Once you set a date and switch Go Live? to Yes, it appears for people who marked themselves interested in this event.

ℹ️ About This Event

ROZSA PRESENTING SERIES EVENT

Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today... and always.

HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

“AN AFFIRMATION OF ART’S TRANSFORMATIVE POWER” -Will Hermes, Rolling Stone

“WE LEFT OUR HEARTS IN HADESTOWN.” –Marc Snetiker, Entertainment Weekly

“AN EPIC CELEBRATION OF MUSIC, TOGETHERNESS AND HOPE” –Jeryl Brunner, Forbes

"YOUR NEXT MUSICAL THEATER OBSESSION" –Julia Felsenthal, Vogue

“SPELLBINDING. Hadestown, for a while, makes the whole world forget its troubles.” –Marilyn Stasio, Variety

“The songs are gorgeous, the band is hot, and the lyrics are eerily apt for the times.” –Rollo Romig, The New Yorker

About the Performers

Around 2004, singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell was a twenty-something Middlebury College graduate when the melody of “Wait for Me” came to her while driving between performance gigs. She connected the lyrics to the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, a favorite of hers as a child. The story deepened as she put Orpheus, the young and creative optimist, against Hades, the King of the Underworld, who had a true love of his own in Persephone, the Goddess of springtime, flowers, and vegetation.

In collaboration with orchestrator/arranger Michael Chorney and original director/designer Ben t. Matchstick, Hadestown made its premiere as a small performance piece in 2006 at the Old Labor Hall in Barre, Vermont. From 2006 to 2007, Mitchell performed the show with a group of actors at a number of small venues throughout Vermont and Massachusetts before turning it into a concept album in 2010. The album earned international acclaim, which prompted a concert tour to some 60 cities across North America and the U.K. through 2012.

Along the way, Mitchell’s agent sent a copy of the album to producer Dale Franzen who caught a performance of Hadestown at McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, California. Franzen immediately saw the potential and began further development at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica, also bringing producer Mara Isaacs into the fold.

In 2012, Mitchell saw the Ars Nova production of Dave Malloy’s Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, which transferred to Broadway in 2016. Mitchell felt an immediate connection with the show’s director, Rachel Chavkin, and the two began collaboration on Hadestown, which premiered its fully staged production at New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) in the summer of 2016. It was during the NYTW run when the show set its sights towards Broadway.

Hadestown played two additional pre-Broadway engagements at the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton (Canada) and the National Theatre in London. It began previews on Broadway on March 22, 2019, and opened April 17, 2019, at the Walter Kerr Theatre where it remains today. The Broadway production earned eight Tony® Awards including Best Musical, the Grammy Award® for Best Musical Theater Album, six Outer Critics Circle Awards including Outstanding New Broadway Musical, four Drama Desk Awards, and the Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Broadway Musical.
