Hadestown

Hadestown is the Broadway reimagining of an old tale from ago. Orpheus, one poor baker boy, falls in love with a beautiful lady named Eurydice. They continued to get married, but as we know, people turn on you just like the wind and everyone is a fair-weathered friend. Because of Orpheus’ neglect, Eurydice goes way down to Hadestown where she realizes that she is stuck there forever and will forget that she ever existed. After Orpheus discovers this, he sets out on a journey to save her, telling her to “Wait for Me”. He arrives at Hadestown and is allowed to let him take her home, but only if he trusts her to stay behind him on the way back. He can’t see her, hear her, nor feel her. His doubt came in. Right on the last steps to freedom, he looked back. He saw her there, but now for long as she was killed on the spot. It’s a sad tale, it’s a tragedy
