Trevor Dion Nicholas and Rachel Tucker Join the London Cast of Hadestown

New casting has been announced for the multi award-winning Hadestown at the Lyric Theatre, London. From 15 October 2024, stars of musical theatre Trevor Dion Nicholas (Disney’s Aladdin, Next To Normal, Hamilton) will play Hades and Rachel Tucker (Sunset Boulevard, Wicked, Come From Away) will play Persephone.

Written by acclaimed Grammy®-winning singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winner Anaïs Mitchell, Hadestown blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz. It takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone. 

Trevor Dion Nicholas and Rachel Tucker join Madeline Charlemagne as Eurydice, Melanie La Barrie as Hermes, Dylan Wood as Orpheus, with Bella Brown, Allie Daniel and Francessca Daniella-Baker as the Fates. 

Lauren Azania, Tiago Dhondt Bamberger, Beth Hinton-Lever, Waylon Jacobs, and Christopher Short continue to play the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Winny Herbert, Ryesha Higgs, Miriam Nyarko, and Simon Oskarsson as Swings.

Today, booking for the show has also been extended to September 2025.

The current cast, including Trevor and Rachel, are scheduled to perform until 9 February 2025, with further casting updates to follow.

Hadestown is a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience, and invites you to imagine how the world could be. Find out more at https://uk.hadestown.com/
