Sam Barlow High School is one of the first high schools to produce the Teen Edition of this current Broadway smash hit! Winner of eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical, this intriguing and beautiful folk musical delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining mythological love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a romantic journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by classic American folk music traditions and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits the industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. This production is appropriate for all ages!
