Fresh off being nominated for 14 Tony Awards, the cast of the hit musical "Hadestown" headed to the plaza during TODAY's Best of Broadway Week for a live performance of "Livin' It Up on Top."
Watch the performance below!
Hadestown's Tony nominations include Best Musical, Eva Noblezada - Best Lead Actress in a Musical, Hadestown Anaïs Mitchell - Best Book of a Musical, Anaïs Mitchell - Best Original Score, André De Shields - Best Featured Actor in a Musical, Amber Gray - Best Featured Actress in a Musical, Rachel Hauck - Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Michael Krass - Best Costume Design of a Musical, Bradley King - Best Lighting Design of a Musical, Nevin Steinberg and Jessica Paz - Best Sound Design of a Musical, Rachel Chavkin - Best Direction of a Musical, David Neumann Best Choreography, and Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose - Best Orchestrations.
Following two intertwining love stories - that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone - Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell's beguiling melodies and Chavkin's poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience.
