Hadestown the musical announces a Digital Lottery 🎭

🗓️ June 5-7, 2026 at Bass Performance Hall.

🎟️ Hadestown will host a digital ticket lottery powered by Broadway Direct. Fans will have the chance to purchase a limited number of $39 tickets available for all performances at Bass Performance Hall. The digital lottery will begin accepting entries the day before each performance from 9 AM to 3 PM.

🕺 Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you 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 is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
