  • See how the Tony-nominated scenic designer and Tony-nominated director came up with the look and feel of Anaïs Mitchell's musical on Broadway.
    One of the most astonishing moments of ''Hadestown'' comes when Eurydice heads down to Hadestown and the set dramatically changes to become the underworld. And there are many more wonders to be found in the scenic design of Tony nominee Rachel Hauck. In this video, Hauck and director Rachel Chavkin give us a tour of the ''Hadestown'' set, lending insight into how the distinctive look of this world was achieved, and what went into coming up with its minute details. Tune into the Tonys on this Sunday, June 9, to see if Hauck, Chavkin, or both end up going home with awards for their efforts.

    I didn't know about the set moving or the swinging lights so when I saw the show I shrieked and gasped from excitement. One of the most beautiful pieces of theatre and art in general I have ever seen. It deserves all the hype and more as well as all the Tony awards

    I always wondered how the swinging lamps actually stayed in place during Wait For Me when the actors weren't holding them, it never occurred to me that they were actually hanging from the ceiling. The amount of detail gone into this show is incredible!! I hope it wins something from the Tony's!!! Go Rachels!

    • @EmmaBethx

      They’re not hanging to start, the tethers from the ceiling come down during the song and the actors attach them.

      In some ways, I'm sorry you even know about the way the set moves/changes. I saw it in August having seen the Tonys performance and knowing the basic outline of the story. I was blown away by the totality of the show. As I've gotten older, I find I tend to appreciate a show more if I walk in knowing little about what is going to happen. If I know too much I find I'm anticipating what's next instead of enjoying what's in front of me. YMMV.
