The Tony-winning Best Musical Hadestown will welcome a trio of stars to the Walter Kerr Theatre in the new year.

Beginning January 14, 2025, Tony nominee Hailey Kilgore (Once On This Island) will take over the role of Eurydice, Carlos Valdes (The Flash, Once) will step into the role of Orpheus, and Tony nominee Tom Hewitt (The Rocky Horror Show, Chicago) will rejoin the company in the role of Hades.

Hadestown currently stars Fisher as Orpheus, Lillias White as Hermes, Boykin as Hades, Reficco as Eurydice, and Allison Russell as Persephone. Shea Renee, Jessie Shelton, and Brit West play the Fates, with the chorus of Workers played by Emily Afton, Malcolm Armwood, Timothy H. Lee, Alex Puette, and Grace Yoo. The cast also includes swings Sojourner Brown, Brandon Cameron, KC Dela Cruz, Tara Jackson, Max Kumangai, and Tanner Ray Wilson.

Singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell’s folk- and jazz-infused musical layers the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice with that of Hades and Persephone, intertwining the actions—and consequences—of gods and mortals. Hadestown originally began as a theatrical concert performed by Mitchell.

The creative team features Tony-winning set designer Rachel Hauck, Tony-nominated costume designer Michael Krass, Tony-winning lighting designer Bradley King, Tony-winning sound designers Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz, choreographer David Neumann, and dramaturg Ken Cerniglia. Musical supervision and vocal arrangements are by Liam Robinson, with arrangements and orchestrations by Tony winners Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose.
