Lillias White as Missus Hermes in Hadestown Matthew Murphy
Lillias White, Tom Hewitt, and Jewelle Blackman will all stay way down in Hadestown a little longer after extending their runs in the Tony-winning Broadway musical, currently running at the Walter Kerr Theatre. White and Hewitt will remain with the production through June 4, while Blackman will now stay through June 25.
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 work follows a first-generation child of Mexican immigrants torn between joining the family garment business or embarking on her own dream of attending college in NYC.
