Hadestown to Roll Out Tracks From Original Broadway Cast Album

The Hadestown cast album is on the way! But this recent Tony Award winning show is doing things a little differently - rather than releasing its cast album all at once, Hadestown is dropping groups of songs in batches this summer. Each batch is tied to pairs or groups of characters in the show, and the final product will feature 40 tracks for a total of more than two hours of music. Inspired by the Greek myth, Hadestown is the retelling of the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, and is currently playing on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre.
