Hi! I have comped tickets to see one of the shows on Thursday night through a friend. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should go to? Hadestown doesnt initially seem like my cup of tea but the reviews are good so I’m torn.

If you can, take a few minutes and listen to a couple of songs from Hadestown. If that makes you say "Oh wow, that sounds beautiful", then go see Hadestown. If that makes you say "That's interesting, but not my style" then go see Beetlejuice. Hadestown is a beautifully staged and designed production, but if the score isn't your cup of tea, you'll get bored very quickly with it. (Personally, that was my reaction--from a purely artistic standpoint, Hadestown is a better production, but frankly, I had much more fun at Beetlejuice).

There is no competition here. You should see Hadestown, 100%. That's just based on show quality, but also, tickets for Hadestown are already much harder to get and will become even worse after the Tonys.

HADESTOWN is the one to see this season.
Like others above have said, after the Tonys it will be a harder ticket to get.
I have seen both and Beetlejuice is fun.

I'd say Beetlejuice. Hadestown will run for much longer, and you can catch at a later date for much cheaper.
