Story
The Greek mythology of the Hadestown musical opens by introducing Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus proposed to Eurydice, but she is hesitant because both of them live in poverty. Eventually, they become lovers despite their problems.
Hades and Persephone enter the musical when Hades comes to the world above to return Persephone back to the Underworld. During this time, Eurydice becomes intrigued by working with Hades as a way out of poverty. Hades is tired of arguing with Persephone about the advantages of the Underworld. He decides to go to the world above to try to find someone who will appreciate working in the Underworld before meeting Eurydice. She chooses to join Hades in the Underworld, leaving her partner, Orpheus behind.
When Orpheus learns about Eurydice's departure, he promises to travel to the Underworld to rescue Eurydice. By the time he travels to the Underworld, Eurydice realizes working in the Underworld is not the positive experience Hades made it appear to be. Orpheus and Eurydice meet with Hades about releasing Eurydice from her contract and allowing her return to the living world. The journey tests the love Orpheus and Eurydice share.
