Overview of the Live Capture Event
Bleecker Street’s Crosswalk and LD Entertainment have acquired the live theater capture of the acclaimed musical *Hadestown*, which is scheduled for theatrical release in North America on July 24, 2026. This film, titled *Hadestown: The Musical*, showcases the Tony Award-winning production that has captivated audiences since its Broadway debut. The musical, created by Anais Mitchell, combines the mythic love stories of Orpheus and Eurydice with Hades and Persephone, and has garnered significant acclaim, winning eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical.
Key Details of the Production
The live capture was filmed in London and features five original Broadway cast members: Reeve Carney as Orpheus, Andre De Shields as Hermes, Amber Gray as Persephone, Eva Noblezada as Eurydice, and Patrick Page as Hades. Directed by Brett Sullivan of Stream and Sound, the film aims to present a unique cinematic experience of the stage production, which has been running for seven years on Broadway and three years in the West End. The musical's score blends American folk music with New Orleans-style jazz, reflecting its origins as a concept album by Mitchell.
Production Team and Future Plans
The production team includes producers Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, and Tom Kirdahy, who are also involved in the film adaptation. Isaacs expressed enthusiasm about sharing this performance, stating, “A great deal of love and care has gone into capturing the show on film, allowing it to live beyond the stage and reach new audiences around the world for years to come.” Crosswalk and LD Entertainment plan to continue releasing live theater captures, following their recent release of the musical *Waitress* in 2023.
Additional Cast Members
The film also features Bella Brown, Madeline Charlemagne, and Allie Daniel as the Fates, alongside Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Ryesha Higgs, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short as Workers. Additionally, Lucinda Buckley, Francessca Daniella-Baker, Winny Herbert, and Miriam Nyarko are included as swings in the production.
Conclusion
The theatrical release of *Hadestown: The Musical* represents an effort to broaden the reach of this celebrated production, allowing audiences who may not have the opportunity to see it live to experience its artistry on screen. A UK release date for the film is expected to be announced in the future, further expanding its accessibility to international audiences.
