The captivating world of Hadestown has been stealing the hearts of theatre-goers with its enthralling fusion of myth and melody. In a special behind-the-scenes glimpse, we had the pleasure of sitting down with two of its illustrious cast members, John Krause, who brings to life the character of Orpheus, and Amaya Braganza, who portrays Eurydice. They discussed not only the magic that goes into creating this Tony Award-winning spectacle night after night but also shared snippets of their lives when the stage lights dim, and the curtains close.
