Annie Tippe (Lortel Award-winning Octet) to direct.

BWW Review: HADESTOWN at Kennedy Center
by Timothy Treanor
- Oct 17, 2021
It is mere coincidence that Anaïs Mitchell’s remarkable, Tony Award-winning Hadestown, now being given a solid production at the Kennedy Center’s Opera House, debuted on Broadway just before our twenty-month plague began, but it fits. Mitchell’s story is at bottom a moral call to arms, which cleverly mines the saddest tale in all of mythology and marries it to a still older myth – one which was designed to explain the seasons.
