Original live West End cast recording announced for hit musical HADESTOWN
It is announced that HADESTOWN – LIVE FROM LONDON, the highly anticipated original West End cast album for Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning ‘Best Musical’ Hadestown, recorded live at the Lyric Theatre in London where it is currently performing, will be released by Sing It Again Records on 6 December, with pre-orders from today (15 November).
HADESTOWN – LIVE FROM LONDON will be released in three physical formats - standard black vinyl, a limited-edition deluxe gatefold "pop-up" vinyl and compact disc - alongside digital download and streaming services.
Anaïs Mitchell said: I’m so thrilled to share this audio document of our glorious, once-in-a-lifetime, original West End company and all the ways they made this show their own! Almost the entirety of the recording comes from one single show- the final matinee performance of Dónal and Grace- and is a record of the company as it bids goodbye to two beloved members. You can hear it in the performers giving their all, as much to each other as to the audience. I’m so grateful we caught this magic on tape- a definitive moment in an ever-evolving show.”
HADESTOWN – LIVE FROM LONDON follows the success of the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Hadestown, which is one of the most streamed cast albums of all time with over 500 million streams to date. It won the Grammy Award® for ‘Best Musical Theatre Album’, topped Billboard’s Broadway Cast Recording chart and debuted at #8 on the Top Album chart.
