Didn't catch Hadestown last night? Don't worry, you can try again tonight!
Hadestown: The winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards, including Best New Musical, returns to L.A. to open the Center Theatre Group / Ahmanson Theatre’s 2023-2024 season. Hadestown takes audiences on a journey to the underworld and back, following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone.

Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
