Welcome to Hadestown, where a song can change your fate. The acclaimed Broadway musical phenomenon by singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and director Rachel Chavkin, is now playing at the Lyric Theatre. ‘An epic celebration of music, togetherness and hope’ (Forbes), Hadestown is the winner of 8 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the Grammy Award® for Best Musical Theatre Album. Take an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone. A deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience, the show invites you to imagine how the world could be. About the V&A Performance Festival 2026 The V&A's Performance Festival 2026 is inspired by the theme of 'echos', exploring reverberation, repetition and myth making through storytelling, placemaking and the memory-forming power of music and sound, past and present. The programme includes live performances, screenings, talks, tours and workshops throughout the museum from 24 April to 3 May. The producers of Hadestown said: "We are thrilled to be partnering with the V&A for its 'echos' themed Performance Festival, and to bring Hadestown into such an inspiring and historic space. At its heart, Hadestown is a story that has echoed through centuries, and this performance is a wonderful opportunity to share that journey with audiences in a completely unique way." -- We believe that great theatre sparks imagination and brings people together.

Work in theatre includes Hamilton as Alexander Hamilton on UK and Ireland tour, Grease as Danny Zuko, The Wizard of Oz as the Tin Man — winning the 2024 Black British Theatre Award for Best Supporting Male Actor in a Musical — and the Olivier-nominated production of Old Friends at the Gielgud. As Orpheus in Hadestown, Fenton brings a raw, wide-open vocal quality to the role — a young man whose only weapon against the machinery of the underworld is his voice and his belief that love is enough. 'Epic III' is the song that crystallises that belief: a simple, ancient question — How do you describe something you can't see? — answered with the kind of musical conviction that makes entire rooms go still. #Hadestown #RachelAdedeji #OurLadyOfTheUnderground #WestEndMusical #NationalTheatre #LyricTheatre #MusicalTheatre #MarleyFenton #EpicIII #VAndAMuseum #Orpheus
