Quick quiz, BOS — What musical is the winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® (including Best Musical) and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album? Welcome to “Hadestown,” where a song can change your fate.

From Tuesday-Sunday, April 23-28, Bostonians are invited on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back in this award-winning musical at the Wang Theatre.

“Hadestown” intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — to create a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience.
