Hadestown: The Musical Box Office Day 1: Adds $4 Million as Domestic Total Hits $4 Million

Directed by Brett Sullivan, 'Hadestown: The Musical' is a 142-minute live-capture film of the acclaimed Broadway production. It blends drama, fantasy, romance, and music to retell the tragic Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, intertwined with the complex relationship of Hades and Persephone. The story follows Eurydice, struggling with poverty, as she is lured to the industrial underworld of Hadestown by its ruler, Hades. Her lover, Orpheus, a struggling musician, must then venture into the depths to bring her back.

The film features the principal cast from the celebrated stage production. Reeve Carney stars as the hopeful musician Orpheus, with Eva Noblezada as his beloved Eurydice. André De Shields plays the charismatic narrator, Hermes, while Patrick Page portrays the imposing god Hades. Amber Gray brings Persephone to life. The trio of Fates—who comment on and guide the action—are played by Bella Brown, Madeline Charlemagne, and Allie Daniel.

The Box Office Story: A Modest Budget Meets a Strong Start

The film launched in 1,949 theaters as a special event cinema release from Bleecker Street. The strong pre-sales performance, which eclipsed those of the previous live-capture hit 'Waitress: The Musical,' indicates a dedicated fanbase is driving early success for this Tony-winning smash.
