- The touring company of the Broadway musical “Hadestown,” the winner of eight Tony Awards, comes to town for the first time. The acclaimed, musically daring show written (music, lyrics, and book) by singer-songwriter Anais Mitchell and developed with director Rachel Chavkin originated as a song cycle Mitchell wrote using the Orpheus-Eurydice myth as inspiration. The musical follows two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone. From March 2-13 at CIBC Theatre, 18 W. Monroe. Tickets: $52.50-$132.50. Visit broadwayinchicago.com.
