Hadestown Ruled the Broadway in 2019
Hadestown is the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, told in this day and age. It dominated the Broadway 8 times a week. There is a reason why it became so loved and watched by the audience. Anaïs Mitchell, the composer of this production has taken her tale of Hadestown — an idea that came to her from DIY upstart to concept album to full-fledged theatrical production. It stands out because of its contemporary touch, and it deals with problems which are relatable to the audience.
The production deals with present-day concerns like anti-immigration rhetoric and the #MeToo movement with songs like “Why We Build the Wall” and “Hey, Little Songbird.” There are also themes of wealth disparity and climate change in the Broadway production. Mitchell mentioned that all these occurrences were not deliberate. And one of the interesting facts is that the show evolved over the part 13 years, and it is what it is through the growth.
The great thing about Hadestown is how it inculcated the music into itself. Mitchell mentioned how at the earlier stage of production there were times that the show had gaps in the between. After each scene the production felt haphazard and was all over the place. But with relevant songs, now it feels like there is a linear progress.
Unlike other directors, Mitchell works on guitar when she feels inspired, rather than working on piano. Her music is mostly influenced by folk songs and traditional music, particularly from the British Isles. That’s why her music has a folksy feel even when it is based on an ancient myth.
She talks about Orpheus and how he is a character that is parallel to today’s youth. He starts up by striving for a world he believes could exist. But by the end of the journey he has lost his innocence. And he is saved when he realizes everyone has the same journey. That’s why audience love the show, and that is why Hadestown tickets become sold so easily, because they feel connected to the character somehow.

The film team is telling people not to miss this film as it won’t be in theaters again for another year. NCG Cinemas Tampa is one of the handpicked theaters in Florida showing ‘Christmas Eve’ a year in advance.
Packed crowds have come to advance screenings around the country with the film hot off the press (production wrapped in July). As a result, only select cities will be able to view the film in advance as there is not enough time to market the film nationwide until next year.
However, the fortunate few again will see the film a year in advance before the national release next year at NCG Cinemas starting November 7, 2025.
The film is already winning many people to Christ with reports of people coming to Christ in the theaters lobbies.
“Two of my friends came to Christ,” reported a theater-goer in Honolulu. “It’s a remarkable film about people coming to Christ on Christmas Eve’. Bring your Bible study group or church as they will be beyond blessed.”
Another theater-goer in Dallas said, “I was in tears on almost every story line. It is truly the best Christmas movie ever made. All of these are true stories.”
Another theater-goer in Atlanta said, “This is the most beautiful film I’ve ever seen. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime movie about how Jesus saved seven people on Christmas Eve. Powerful and just stunning. You shouldn’t miss it at all costs.
The film stars Kevin Sorbo, Michael Irvin, Stephen Baldwin, Nzinga Imani, Eric Roberts, Jermaine Wells, Jordan Laesch, David Jofre, et al. The film is based on seven incredible true stories going from the Victorian era through World War 1 through the Civil War all the way to the present day.
