Producers of the Tony and Grammy Award-winning Best Musical Hadestown have announced a further five venues for the production’s first-ever UK and Ireland tour in 2027.
The critically acclaimed musical, which is currently enjoying its third year in London’s West End, will now visit Cliffs Pavilion in Southend, Royal & Derngate Theatre in Northampton, New Victoria Theatre in Woking, New Theatre Oxford and New Wimbledon Theatre as part of its extensive tour schedule.
The newly announced engagements will see the production play Southend from 25 to 29 May, Northampton from 28 September to 2 October, Woking from 12 to 16 October, Oxford from 19 to 23 October, and Wimbledon from 16 to 20 November 2027.

Featuring music, lyrics and book by Anaïs Mitchell, Hadestown blends indie folk, pop, blues and New Orleans-inspired jazz to retell the mythic love stories of Orpheus and Eurydice, and Hades and Persephone.
Developed from Mitchell’s original concept album with director Rachel Chavkin, the musical has become a global phenomenon, winning eight Tony Awards including Best Musical and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.
The Original Broadway Cast Recording has amassed nearly one billion streams and has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Casting and the full creative team for the UK and Ireland tour will be announced at a later date.
Hadestown is produced by Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold and Tom Kirdahy.
