Bleecker Street’s event cinema division Crosswalk has partnered with LD Entertainment to acquire North America and English-speaking territories to the live theatre capture of the Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown.
Hadestown: The Musical shot in London’s West End in 2025 and will open theatrically in North America on July 24, followed by the UK on a date to be announced. It is the first in a series of Broadway live captures that Crosswalk and LD are planning, and follows Crosswalk’s recent box office success with K-Pop concert film Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience.
The production blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine the story of Ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, intertwined with the story of King Hades and his wife Persephone.
Brett Sullivan of Steam Motion and Sound directed the theatre capture of the stage musical, which Rachel Chavkin directs and Anaïs Mitchell wrote. The stage cast includes the five original principals of the Broadway company: Reeve Carney as Orpheus, André De Shields as Hermes, Amber Gray as Persephone, Eva Noblezada as Eurydice, and Patrick Page as Hades.
The film also features Bella Brown, Madeline Charlemagne and Allie Daniel as Fates, Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Ryesha Higgs, Waylon Jacobs and Christopher Short as Workers, and Lucinda Buckley, Francessca Daniella-Baker, Winny Herbert and Miriam Nyarko as Swings.
Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, and Tom Kirdahy serve as producers of the film and the production. The play, now in its seventh year on Broadway, won eight Tony Awards in 2019 including best musical, and the 2020 Grammy Award for best musical theater album.
Bleecker CEO Kent Sanderson said in a statement, “Hadestown has touched the hearts of so many people around the world, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share it even more widely with this beautifully accomplished film.”
Bleecker Street also released a live capture of the musical Waitress in 2023, which was filmed by Brett Sullivan.
