Hadestown: The Myth. The Musical is a 2016 stage musical adaptation of the 2010 folk opera concept album by the same name by Anaïs Mitchell. It premiered off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on May 6, 2016 and ran through July 31. Following productions in Edmonton and London, the show premiered in previews on Broadway in March 2019. The show was developed for the stage and directed by Rachel Chavkin.

Like the original concept album, Hadestown tells a version of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Orpheus goes to the underworld to rescue his fiancée Eurydice.

The Broadway production opened to critical acclaim and received numerous awards and nominations. At the 73rd Tony Awards, Hadestown received a total of 14 nominations (the most for the evening) and won eight of them, including Best Musical.

The tweet about Hadestown got my interest piqued.

I lost my husband in March. "Wait for me" is how I feel. I don't believe in an afterlife. I believe the end is like the beginning, just a boundary. All that is left of him are memories and the effects of the good things he did while here. But that lizard-brain that is left within us from years of evolution screams from the depths, "Wait for me!"
