TICKETS NOW ON SALE

Throughout the Term, our senior students have been busy auditioning and rehearsing for this year’s production, Hadestown – Teen Edition, and tickets are now on sale for a limited four-day season at Horton Auditorium.

Featuring a cast of 30 talented students, the production will run from Wednesday 12 to Saturday 15 August and promises a powerful theatrical experience combining contemporary folk, jazz and blues-inspired music with a timeless myth.

Hadestown retells the ancient Greek story of Orpheus and Eurydice. When Eurydice is drawn into the industrial underworld ruled by the powerful Hades, the young musician Orpheus embarks on a courageous journey to bring her back. Along the way, audiences encounter the complex relationship between Hades and Persephone, as the story explores themes of love, hope, trust and the courage to challenge fate.

First created by singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell, Hadestown has become one of the most celebrated musicals of recent years, winning multiple Tony Awards and captivating audiences around the world. The musical recently enjoyed a hugely successful season in Melbourne, further cementing its popularity with Australian audiences.

The Teen Edition adaptation allows young performers to take on the musical’s rich characters and challenging score while preserving the heart and energy that have made the show such a global success. It provides students with an opportunity to tackle sophisticated storytelling and music while collaborating as an ensemble.

Audiences can expect striking music, atmospheric storytelling and an engaging interpretation of a classic myth performed by the next generation of young performers.
