“It’s pretty amazing to be opening this show here,” says anaismitchell. “It’s hard to believe it’s the same show from when we were on that tiny stage.'
Kimberly Marable plays Persephone on the “Hadestown” tour.Mitchell — who wrote the music, lyrics and book of “Hadestown” over 15 years — remains notably modest about its widespread critical and commercial success. Before Tuesday’s concert, she expressed delight at the sight of a “Hadestown” bench billboard outside the venue, and the sound of the booming trombone solo that kicks off the show.
Anaïs Mitchell, showing off tattoos of her daughters’ names, Rosetta and Ramona, wrote “Hadestown” over the course of 15 years.Anais Mitchell has been living in “Hadestown” for 15 years. “It was so exciting to just write songs and know they could go anywhere; it doesn’t have to develop characters or move the plot in any direction, it just has to feel right,” she continues. “It’s weird — all the songs are stories from my life, which I’ve often shied away from. But I guess that’s what wanted to come out after working on telling this other story for so long.”Advertisement
With the tour’s music director, Nathan Koci, accompanying her on the banjo and the accordion, Mitchell also performed stripped-down renditions of “Hadestown” songs “Our Lady of the Underground” and “Why We Build the Wall” with members of the cast.
