*This August, the stage of the newly revitalised Thebarton Theatre will come alive with the thunderous sounds,* *haunting poetry and electrifying storytelling of Hadestown, as Scotch College Adelaide presents one of the* *most ambitious school productions ever staged in South Australia.*

*Defy the gods. Hold onto hope.*

*Winner of multiple Tony Awards and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album, Hadestown has* *captivated audiences worldwide with its bold fusion of folk, jazz, blues and contemporary musical theatre.*

*Now, Scotch College Adelaide brings Anaïs Mitchell’s globally celebrated work to a new generation of* *performers and audiences in one of Adelaide’s most iconic venues. Featuring a large-scale revolving stage,* *striking contemporary design, and a cast and crew of more than 65 students, this production promises to be* *visually spectacular and emotionally resonant.*

*Where myth meets music, and love battles fate.*

*Bold, contemporary and deeply human, Hadestown tells the intertwining myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, and* *Hades and Persephone, in a story exploring love, hope, sacrifice and resilience. More than simply a school* *musical, the production reflects the strength and ambition of the performing arts program at Scotch College* *Adelaide, with students working across performance, technical production, design and stage management to* *realise a work of exceptional scale and artistry.*

*Step into the underground. The road to Hadestown awaits.*
