The Gogue Center presents the national tour of "Hadestown" at the Wotlosz Theatre—Monday, April 28.Come see how the world could be.Welcome to "Hadestown", where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin ("Natasha", "Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812") is a love story for today . . . and always."Hadestown" intertwines two mythic tales—that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone—as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, "Hadestown" is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.This performance is presented as part of the Gogue Center’s 2024–25 Broadway Series and is sponsored by Tyler & Trent Globetti and Jonathan & Lindsay Todd.Our 2024–25 Broadway Series is sponsored by WLTZ.Our 2024–25 season is sponsored by Walt & Ginger Woltosz.TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW: https://goguecentertickets.auburn.edu
