Broadway musical phenomenon “Hadestown” ushers in a new principal cast beginning March 3 at the Walter Kerr Theatre, marking another milestone in its seventh year on Broadway. J. Harrison Ghee steps into the role of Hermes, joined by Joshua Colley as Orpheus and Jordan Tyson as Eurydice. Gary Dourdan and Gaby Moreno make their Broadway debuts as Hades and Persephone, respectively, bringing fresh energy to Anaïs Mitchell’s Tony Award-winning musical.
The incoming leads succeed Morgan Dudley, Kurt Elling, Allison Russell, Paulo Szot and Jack Wolfe, who take their final bows March 1. The ensemble continues with Jessie Shelton, Kay Trinidad and Brit West as the Fates, alongside a full chorus of Workers and swings cast by Whitley Theatrical. The production remains a defining presence on Broadway, with international runs in the West End and beyond reinforcing its global reach.
With a book and score by Anaïs Mitchell and direction by Rachel Chavkin, “Hadestown” reframes the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, and Hades and Persephone, through a folk and jazz-infused lens. Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, the show continues to draw audiences into its underworld of longing, fate and defiant love.
