Hadestown - O.C.R. (Uk) [LP], Anais Mitchell (Uk), Vinyl

Double vinyl LP pressing. After an acclaimed run of performances at the National Theatre in 2018, Hadestown returns to London in February 2024 for it's long-awaited West End premiere at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. This Grammy award winning recording represents the Broadway show in it's entirety. It features vocal performances by Reeve Carney (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark); Tony nominees Eva Noblezada (Miss Saigon), Patrick Page (Spring Awakening), and Amber Gray (Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812); and Tony winner André de Shields (The Wiz). Following two intertwining love stories - that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone - Hadestown, the 8x Tony-winning musical (including Best Score and Best Musical) by celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell, invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell's beguiling melodies and innovative director and Tony Award nominee Rachel Chavkin's poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. This album was produced by Grammyr winner David Lai (the 2009 West Side Story Cast Album) alongside Todd Sickafoose and Anaïs Mitchell, who also collaborated on Mitchell's celebrated modern folk album Young Man in America.
