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."
Concord Theatricals’ 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 team player 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 West End production of Hadestown, directed by Rachel Chavkin, is currently playing at the Lyric Theatre, London, and is now booking until September 2025.
