**** Highly Recommended **** When I went to see "Hadestown"  I had a vague idea that the story was based on Greek mythology, but I had no expectations.  Now that I’ve seen the show, I have to say, it blew me away!  "Hadestown" doesn’t wait for you to get into the story, it reaches out and grabs you with its hauntingly beautiful music, glorious voices, joyous dance, and a sense of joie de vivre on stage.  Even though it doesn’t have a ‘happily ever after,’ it does end on an upbeat note!  The coolest thing of all, "Hadestown" was written and directed by women, Anaïs Mitchell and Rachel Chavkin respectively!  4 BIG Spotlights
