Broadway’s “Hadestown” will introduce a new group of principal cast members beginning March 3 at the Walter Kerr Theatre. The incoming lineup features Tony and Grammy Award winner J. Harrison Ghee as Hermes, Joshua Colley as Orpheus, and Jordan Tyson stepping into the role of Eurydice. Gary Dourdan and Gaby Moreno will both make their Broadway debuts as Hades and Persephone, respectively, marking a fresh chapter for the long-running production.
The new principals will succeed the current leading cast, who are scheduled to give their final performances on March 1. The outgoing company includes Morgan Dudley, Kurt Elling, Allison Russell, Paulo Szot, and Jack Wolfe, all of whom have helped shape the show’s most recent Broadway chapter. The transition reflects the musical’s ongoing ability to evolve while maintaining its emotional and musical core.
Now in its seventh year on Broadway, “Hadestown” remains one of the most celebrated musicals of the past decade. With a book and score by Anaïs Mitchell and direction by Rachel Chavkin, the production reimagines the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone through a folk and jazz-inflected lens. The show continues to resonate worldwide, with productions spanning the West End, international stages, and a record-setting North American tour.
