Update: as everyone is well aware the Hadestown tour is on hold for the moment given the COVID situation. As of March of 2021, Broadway has announced that it plans to reopen around June of 2021. However, we do not know if this projection will hold. New York is allowing venues such as Barclays Center to run with 10% capacity, and other states like New Jersey and Massachusetts are loosening up a little. Broadway tours could conceivably return after that at some point. The shows need a certain capacity to cover their costs and hopefully make a little profit. A major factor to consider is the ability to conduct shows at the various locations on a tour and how many fans and patrons could attend. Like all musicals, Hadestown must wait and see how the situation plays out.

You can also check out the music and Hadestown Original Broadway Cast Recording as well. The album is absolutely fantastic and there are so many wonderful songs on it.
Hadestown was already in London, and during that time it did exceptionally well and received very strong reviews in front of sellout audiences. It is very possible that Hadestown returns to London and the UK at some point. We have seen this before with many Broadway Shows, and Dear Evan Hansen is a very recent example of this taking place. Either way, the show will remain at the Walter Kerr for a very long time.

It is just a mater of time before the gorgeous piece of art Hadestown makes its way to a city near you and perhaps across the entire globe. when something hits an audience with immense impact – like a Dear Evan Hansen or Jagged Little Pill or Hamilton – it is assuredly heading out on lengthy tours across the country that could go on for very long periods of time. Check here for updates to stay current on where the show is headed in the coming months.
Some cities have more than one main venue for performing arts and theatre. An example is Los Angeles. LA has the Hollywood Pantages and Ahmanson Theatre which is in downtown LA. They also are rolling out the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for Broadway performances. Hadestown would most likely arrive at the Pantages, but it could go to Ahmanson as well.
CONFIRMED – LA will see Hadestown and it will be at the illustrious Ahmanson Theatre in DTLA. Downtown LA is bustling with arts and culture and you won’t regret taking a trip there to see this majestic piece of art from March 2 through April 4th in 2021.
In Boston the highly likely landing spot is the Boston Opera House. The Citi Emerson Colonial Theatre is possible.
Dallas has two venues that seem to be a good fit, and Hadestown has selected one of them already. In May of 2021, Hadestown will be heading to the Winspear Opera House in Dallas, TX.
Hadestown will visit the vibrant and exciting Austin, TX for an engagement at the Bass Concert Hall.
San Diego, CA will welcome Hadestown from January 19-24, 2021 at the San Diego Civic Theatre.
San Francisco has the Orpheum Theatre, Curran Theatre, and Golden Gate Theatre – all of which host Broadway productions. The Orpheum Theatre SF currently is host to Hamilton, which could be there for a very long time. The Curran Theatre tends to attract long stays like Dear Evan Hansen and Harry Potter. Odds are Hadestown lands at either the Curran or Golden Gate Theatre SF.
Denver has the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and the Buell Theatre. Hadestown could certainly land in either one. Florida has several options for a landing spot for Hadestown, and it will make its way to all of them eventually. In Miami you have the Ziff Opera House. Tampa has The Straz Center and Fort Lauderdale has the Broward Center.
UK Tour – it is quite difficult to project which theatre in the UK and London would get the honor of hosting Hadestown. There are so many wonderful theatres in the West End, and many of them have indeed hosted Broadway Musicals and are even doing so right now. Stay tuned.
