PNHS MUSICAL - HADESTOWN

Tickets for our production of Hadestown go are on sale at pnhschoirs.ludus.com. 

Hadestown is a modern, folk-jazz retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Guided by the narrator Hermes, the story follows two young lovers navigating poverty, hope, and sacrifice, while also exploring the powerful and complicated relationship between Hades and Persephone, rulers of the Underworld. With its rich music, stunning storytelling, and themes of love, resilience, and social justice, Hadestown is a moving and unforgettable theatrical experience.
