Synopsis
The Greek mythology of the Hadestown musical opens by introducing Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus asks Eurydice to marry him, but she is unsure because both of them live in poverty. Eventually, they fall in love.
Meanwhile, Hades and Persephone enter the musical when Hades comes to the surface to return Persephone back to the Underworld against her wishes. Eurydice sees an opportunity working with Hades as a way out of poverty. Hades is tired of arguing with Persephone about the benefits of the Underworld. He decides to go to the world above to try to find someone who will appreciate working in the Underworld before finding Eurydice. She decides to join Hades in the Underworld, leaving her love of Orpheus behind.
When Orpheus discovers about Eurydice's departure, he decides to travel to the Underworld to bring her back. By the time he arrives in the Underworld, Eurydice realizes working in the Underworld is not the rewarding experience Hades made it appear to be. Orpheus and Eurydice meet with Hades about releasing Eurydice from her contract and letting her return to the above world. The subsequent decision and journey tests the love Orpheus and Eurydice have for each other.
