Hadestown: The Musical

The live theater capture of the hit musical Hadestown, which won eight Tony Awards in 2019 including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, featuring the five original principals of the Broadway company. The genre-defying musical blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale.

Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

Abigayle Oakley & Remi Goode

Heart breaking indie folk singer/songwriting from Nashville!

Abigayle and Remi share a disarming confessional style of writing with a nuanced bittersweet vocal delivery that goes down like butter direct to your heart.

The fact that Abigayle got an instant hands down vote on NBC's The Voice this year says it all. She is also a recent winner of the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition.

With a background in classical guitar, Remi Goode's versatility adeptly straddles soft folk to groovy full blown pop production and all points between.

Prepare to be quietly slayed by a one two punch to the chest, Nashville style.

Doors open at 7. Come early to get a seat, a drink and a bite. Go to fairfieldmuse.org to support live music in Fairfield!
