Designed by independent artists, these Hadestown merch items are eco-friendly and put money directly into the pockets of their creators. The reusable tote bag features the musical’s red flower logo and lyrics from “Way Down Hadestown.” The mug is a great way to drink your morning coffee or tea while enjoying the music of this popular Broadway musical.The English language is full of strange words. Its history is steeped in wars and invasions by different cultures, and these languages have given us many of our quirky words. For example, the word mug is probably a combination of Scandinavian and German words that have been incorporated into English.The musical reimagines two Greek myths—Eurydice leaves her life in Hadestown to find work and Orpheus comes to rescue her. Anais Mitchell’s stunning music and Rachel Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, faith against doubt, and fear against love. This is a unique and moving experience that will stay with you forever.
