Upon their first meeting, Eurydice is lured into an underworld factory, where Hades transforms his workers into unthinking drones.

Orpheus embarks on a journey to retrieve her, assisted by his musical tunes and Persephone (Hades' wife), he manages to bringing her back to his abode.

Entertainment Weekly showered praises on the Broadway rendition, remarked, “When it comes to tales as ancient as time, the narratives of Greek mythology rank at the top, those epic stories of gods and mortals that have been recounted for centuries, inspiring numerous versions. However, there's something remarkably modern and fresh about the method those stories - those timeless melodies, those poignant ballads - are presented in Hadestown. As it premieres on Broadway, this voyage to the realm of the dead feels like a newly conceived creation.”
