Broadway Musical 'Hadestown' Is Heading to Movie Theaters This Summer with Live West End Capture
The smash hit Broadway musical Hadestown will be shown in movie theaters across North America this summer!
A live capture of the West End stage production was produced with original cast members Reeve Carney as Orpheus, Eva Noblezada as Eurydice, Patrick Page as Hades, Amber Gray as Persephone, and Andre De Shields in his Tony-winning role of Hermes.
Broadway producer Mara Isaacs said in a statement, “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. 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.”
Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. The musical was written by Anaïs Mitchell and directed by Rachel Chavkin.
Bleecker Street’s event cinema division Crosswalk and LD Entertainment acquired the rights for North America and all English speaking territories.
The Broadway musical is in its 7th year right now and still sells out regularly. Get tickets now for the Broadway show and prepare to watch the movie on July 24!
Reeve and Eva got married last year and now they’re preparing for their next Broadway musical together.
