HADESTOWN, the record-breaking sensation by singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and director Rachel Chavkin is now playing to critical acclaim at the Lyric Theatre, London.

‘Big, beautiful and emotionally blasting’ (The Guardian), HADESTOWN  is the winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.
