Story
The Greek mythology of the Hadestown musical opens by introducing Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus asks Eurydice to marry him, but she is hesitant because both of them live in poverty. Eventually, they become lovers.
Hades and Persephone enter the picture when Hades comes to the world above to return Persephone back to the Underworld against her wishes. During this time, Eurydice sees an opportunity working in the Underworld as a way out of poverty. Hades is tired of arguing with Persephone about the advantages 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 opts to join Hades in the Underworld, leaving her love of Orpheus behind.
When Orpheus discovers what happened, he decides to travel to the Underworld to rescue Eurydice. By the time he arrives in the Underworld, Eurydice figures out working in the Underworld is not the rewarding experience Hades made it appear to be.

The subsequent decision and journey tests the love Orpheus and Eurydice have for each other.
