FINAL CALL!

 

Musicians wanted for

Broadway smash-hit musical Hadestown Sydney season

 

 Calling Sydney musicians! Can you play for the Gods?

 

 

The highly anticipated Broadway smash-hit musical Hadestown, opening in Sydney in February 2025, is looking for musicians to feature in the vibrant, on-stage band to bring the sounds of the underworld to life.

 

Producers have put out an urgent call for specialist, Sydney-based pop and jazz players of the violin, cello, trombone/glockenspiel, drums, bass, guitar and piano/accordion to play Anaïs Mitchell’s Grammy Award winning score. Further information is available on the Hadestown website. Submissions close COB Tuesday 8 October 2024.

 

Seen by three million, streamed by over 350 million and adored by fans all around the world, Hadestown won eight Tony Awards when it opened on Broadway in 2019, including Best Score and Best Director. It also won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.

 

Hadestown is a genre-defying musical that blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine the sweeping ancient tale of Orpheus and Eurydice.

 

Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and 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 and invites you to imagine how the world could be.

 

Hadestown is supported by the NSW Government, via its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW.
