First look: Rachel Tucker and Trevor Dion Nicholas in 'Hadestown' in the West End
The Wicked and Next to Normal stars will appear in Anaïs Mitchell Tony Award-winning musical about Orpheus and Eurydice until 9 February 2025.
It's time to journey way down to Hadestown! Rachel Tucker (Wicked) and Trevor Dion Nicholas (Next to Normal) have joined the cast of Hadestown in the West End as lovers Persephone and Hades. They star alongside Madeline Charlemagne as Eurydice and Dylan Wood as Orpheus, in his West End debut.
The Tony Award-winning musical by Anaïs Mitchell (book, music, and lyrics), which opened in the West End on 10 February following a run at the Olivier at the National Theatre in 2018, is a retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, set against a Depression-era backdrop.
In a review for LondonTheatre.co.uk, our critic said: "The quiet power of this singular show, which demonstrates the magic of a shared story, and how such a collective effort can change the world, is undeniable. This spellbinding West End production was well worth the wait."
The current cast, including Nicholas and Tucker, is scheduled to perform until 9 February 2025.
