⭐ DYLAN WOOD & MADELINE CHARLEMAGNE TO LEAD WEST END PRODUCTION OF HADESTOWN ⭐
New casting has been announced for the West End production of the multi award-winning musical HADESTOWN.
Dylan Wood will join the cast, making his West End debut to play Orpheus, with Madeline Charlemagne, having been playing a Fate since the launch of Hadestown in the West End, will step into the role of Eurydice.
They join Zachary James as Hades, Melanie La Barrie as Hermes, and Gloria Onitiri as Persephone who continue in their roles.
Francessca Daniella-Baker will join the cast, and alongside Bella Brown and Allie Daniel will play the Fates.
Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Beth Hinton-Lever, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short continue to play the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Winny Herbert, Ryesha Higgs, Ediz Mahmut, Miriam Nyarko, Brianna Ogunbawo and Simon Oskarsson as Swings.
HADESTOWN features music, lyrics, and book by acclaimed Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winner Anaïs Mitchell, who originated Hadestown as an indie theatre project and acclaimed album. Mitchell then transformed the show into a genre-defying new musical alongside artistic collaborator and Tony Award-winning director Rachel Chavkin.
HADESTOWN takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone. A deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience, Hadestown invites you to imagine how the world could be.
The creative team includes choreography by David Neumann, scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Michael Krass, lighting design by Bradley King, sound design by Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz, music supervision and vocal arrangements Liam Robinson, arrangements and orchestrations by Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose, and dramaturgy by Ken Cerniglia. Casting for the London production is by Jacob Sparrow.
Produced in London by Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, Tom Kirdahy and the National Theatre in association with JAS Theatricals.
