About the show: Following the two intertwining love stories of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice and immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone, Hadestown is a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by American folk and vintage jazz, this beguiling musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
This is CP's Young Adult Theatre show which means actors must be between the ages of 14 - 19 years old as of the first day of auditions (June 9, 2025).
