Hadestown Pre-Broadway

Has this been discussed? A Canadian cast for a pre-Broadway run at the very large Citadel theatre. Will be strange to see such a small show in such a large house, but I guess it will be the same on Broadway.

I am all about this!!!! Loved it at NYTW and waiting for the full cast album! The EP is great.

I really hope this happens and really hope the original cast returns for the Broadway run. I can't imagine anyone but Amber Gray play Persephone.

I love the EP too and want the whole shebang! Fingers crossed for later this year for that.

As far as having an out-of-town run for an Off Broadway show, I don't know enough about that to comment. It will be interesting to see how Hadestown does in a large theater. It was great at NYTW. One of my favorite shows of last year.

Chavkin was able to translate the things that made Great Comet successful in the tiny Ars Nova space into increasingly large venues all the way up to the Imperial. I have complete faith in her direction here.

Amber Gray as Persephone was one of my favorite performances of 2016. I'm giddy at even the possibility of getting to see it again.

Nothing against the Canadian cast, but I also hope a lot of the NYTW cast returns.

Interesting... there'll be another, one-off New York workshop performance on 24 March, with some of the previous cast and some new faces: http://www.playbill.com/article/broadway-aimed-musical-hadestown-workshopped-with-reeve-carney.
