Hadestown, the record-breaking sensation by singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and director Rachel Chavkin, is the perfect Music school trip.
Winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album, HADESTOWN has been seen by five million, streamed over a half billion times, and hailed as “the most exhilarating ride” (WhatsOnStage).
