Hadestown—Live From London, recorded live at London's Lyric Theatre, will be released by Sing It Again Records in December with pre-orders now available here.

The new recording, featuring the original London cast, will be available in three physical formats—standard black vinyl, a limited-edition deluxe gatefold "pop-up" vinyl, and compact disc—alongside digital download and streaming services. The digital release will be available beginning December 6 with the CD version due December 13, and the "pop up" vinyl out December 20.

The recording features the talents of Dónal Finn as Orpheus, Grace Hodgett Young as Eurydice, Zachary James as Hades, Melanie La Barrie as Hermes, Gloria Onitiri as Persephone, and Bella Brown, Madeline Charlemagne, and Allie Daniel as the Fates with Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Beth Hinton-Lever, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short as the Workers, plus Lucinda Buckley, Winny Herbert, Ryesha Higgs, Ediz Mahmut, Miriam Nyarko, Brianna Ogunbawo, and Simon Oskarsson.

Composer Anaïs Mitchell said in a statement, "I’m so thrilled to share this audio document of our glorious, once-in-a-lifetime, original West End company and all the ways they made this show their own! Almost the entirety of the recording comes from one single show—the final matinee performance of Dónal and Grace—and is a record of the company as it bids goodbye to two beloved members. You can hear it in the performers giving their all, as much to each other as to the audience. I’m so grateful we caught this magic on tape—a definitive moment in an ever-evolving show."

The deluxe gatefold pop-up vinyl and the standard vinyl run 47 minutes, while the CD and streaming versions run 69 minutes.

The new recording is produced by Grammy winners Todd Sickafoose, David Lai, and Mitchell and co-produced by Mara Isaacs and Liam Robinson. Dolby Atmos mix is produced by Sickafoose, Alan Douches, and David Stingle. Executive producers are Dale Franzen, Tom Kirdahy, and Hunter Arnold.

Mitchell's underworld-set folk opera, which premiered Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop in 2016, made its London premiere at the National Theatre in November 2018. The production subsequently opened on Broadway, where it continues at the Walter Kerr, in April 2019. Read reviews of the current London production by clicking here.

The creative team features set designer Rachel Hauck, costume designer Michael Krass, lighting designer Bradley King, sound designers Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz, choreographer David Neumann, music supervisor and vocal arranger Liam Robinson, arrangers and orchestrators Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose, and dramaturg Ken Cerniglia. Casting for the London production is by Jacob Sparrow.

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.

The show, featuring a book and score by Mitchell, won eight 2019 Tony Awards: Best Director of a Musical (Rachel Chavkin), Best Featured Actor in a Musical (André De Shields), Best Lighting Design of a Musical (Bradley King), Best Scenic Design of a Musical (Rachel Hauck), Best Sound Design of a Musical (Jessica Paz and Nevin Steinberg), Best Orchestrations (Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose), Best Original Score (Mitchell), and Best Musical.

Hadestown is produced in London by Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, Tom Kirdahy, and the National Theatre in association with JAS Theatricals.

The London return of the Tony-winning musical Hadestown, which officially opened at the Lyric February 21, currently features Trevor Dion Nicholas as Hades, Rachel Tucker as Persephone, Madeline Charlemagne as Eurydice, Melanie La Barrie as Hermes, Dylan Wood as Orpheus, with Bella Brown, Allie Daniel, and Francessca Daniella-Baker as the Fates. Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Beth Hinton-Lever, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short play the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Winny Herbert, Ryesha Higgs, Miriam Nyarko, and Simon Oskarsson as Swings.
