Hadestown: Teen Edition is a full-length adaptation of Anaïs Mitchell's Hadestown, modified for teen actors to perform to family audiences. Licences for this special edition will include a score which has been suitably transposed for younger voices, expandable and flexible casting options and rehearsal / performance tracks. Available to secondary schools and youth groups in UK and Ireland, the show is recommended for actors aged between 13-19 years old; all performers must be 19 years old or under.

Anaïs Mitchell said =, "I'm thrilled to be able to share this teen edition of Hadestown! I can't wait to see how young people bring their own ideas and experience to this mythic story”

SVP, Concord Theatricals (Europe) Vivien Goodwin added “involvement in the performing arts is a vital avenue for a lot of young people to build confidence, hone skills, work as a teamplayer and tell stories both to entertain but also that speak to our time. This brilliant adaptation of Anaïs' extraordinary and joyful show, with its themes of resilience, hope and love for our environment is the perfect remedy for young people's busy and confusing lives today.  I am excited for the opportunities this release brings for young people across the UK and Ireland.”

The show takes the audience on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice and of King Hades and his wife Persephone.

The West End production of Hadestown, directed by Rachel Chavkin, is currently playing at the Lyric Theatre, London and is now booking until September 2025.
