Hadestown Comes to Sheffield as Part of First UK Tour

The Tony and Grammy Award-winning Best Musical Hadestown, currently playing its third smash-hit year in London’s West End, embarks on its first-ever UK & Ireland tour in 2027, and it's playing at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield from Thursday 9 – Saturday 18 September 2027.

Blending American songwriting traditions, from indie folk, to pop, blues, and New Orleans-inspired jazz, Hadestown has music, lyrics, and book by acclaimed Tony and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winner Anaïs Mitchell.

Mitchell originated Hadestown as an indie theatre project and acclaimed album, before transforming the show into a genre-defying new musical alongside artistic collaborator and Tony Award-winning director Rachel Chavkin. The success since speaks for itself as the show has firmly ensconced itself as a must-see on the West End since opening in 2024, following an equally Broadway run.

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 while reminding how the world is and was.

The critically acclaimed West End run continues at London’s Lyric Theatre, more than eight years after its sold-out engagement at the National Theatre in 2018. 

Tickets for its date in Sheffield go on general sale on Saturday 13 June.

Tickets for all productions can be booked through the Box Office in person, over the phone on 0114 249 6000, or at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk.
