Very exciting if true - but is there anything specifically that has prompted this flurry of speculation? Hopefully more than wishful thinking!  Not speculating...I know people working on it...it's happening... |

Don't expect this anywhere with an escalator either.

I'd probably say Savoy or Gielgud for Hadestown. I could see it just about squeezing into the Gielgud, but not the Savoy. If it comes over (and I’ve personally heard nothing for ages about it), then I demand Amber Gray is in it. |

Just got out of seeing this in NY and would love for the rumours of a West End revival to be true. I went into it completely blind and was blown away. The music is great and Lillias White and Eva Noblezada were incredible but more than anything I need the opportunity to see someone other than Reeve Carney - who made a series of bizarre choices which included breathy affectations, clipping syllables/notes and a very nasal falsetto.

FYI, it is Lillias White. Lillian is a common mistake, autocorrect or otherwise. And I completely concur about Reeve Carney.

Wasn't it only recently at the NT? In 2018 And it struggled to sell. I remember loads of offers on tickets. Love Hadestown. |

Whilst I'm glad its coming back, this show relies on spectacular casting - like I'd have had a nap at the Nash without Amber Gray and Andre De Shields.
I just...dunno who we have that could possibly match that cast we got in 2019

I'd love to see Sam Tutty Orpheus and Desmonda Cathabel or Nathania Ong as Eurydice

I just...dunno who we have that could possibly match that cast we got in 2019 I don't think Persephone is that hard to cast - everyone I saw in NY in the part was fabulous. My vote would go to Carly Mercedes Dyer, who deserves a big break in London. As for Hermes, I just hope that they'll go with someone in the same age bracket as Andre De Shields and Lillias White. A young Hermes doesn't work as a parental figure for Orpheus and it's also rather rare to have such a great role for a performer on the older side, so it shouldn't be taken away from them. Will be harder to find a Hades with a properly deep bass. As for Orpheus & Eurydice, hopefully they'll cast some newcomers and not one of the usual suspects. |

If it's not until 2024, I wonder if it's planned for the Gillian Lynne after Crazy For You.
