They take over the roles from Jack Wolfe (Orpheus), Joshua‘s Descendants: The Rise of Red co-star Morgan Dudley, Kurt Elling (Hermes), Paulo Szot (Hades) and Allison Russell (Persephone).

This marks Joshua‘s first time back on Broadway in several years. He last appeared in Les Misérables over ten years ago, sharing the role of Gavroche with Stranger Things‘ Gaten Matarazzo!

“Orpheus ???? It starts TONIGHT!!! I don’t have the words to describe how grateful I am to be playing this dream of a role with this dream of a company. Last time I was on Broadway I was 12 years old so this is very full circle. I’m so happy to be back home. Come on down to Hadestown. ❤️????#broadway #orphues #hadestown,” he shared ahead of his first performance.

Hadestown follows “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. [Anaïs] Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and [Rachel] Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience.”
