The tragic love story is directed by Rachel Chavkin.

The current production of “Hadestown” marks Chavkin’s return to Broadway after directing the critically acclaimed “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812” during its run at the Imperial Theatre. “The Great Comet,” similarly beloved, led the Tony nominations (12 in total) during its 2016-2017 season before abruptly shuttering.

This year, the Tonys named Chavkin as a nominee for Best Direction of a Musical, placing her in the company of Scott Ellis (“Tootsie”), Daniel Fish (“Oklahoma!”), Des McAnuff (“Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations”) and Casey Nicholaw (“The Prom”).

With book and score by Mitchell (the first woman to pen a book, musicand lyrics since 1978) and direction by Chavkin (who is the only woman directing a musical on Broadway this season), the creative team behind the musical is notable as only the second ever (next to “Waitress“) to be all woman-led on Broadway.

There’s a new cast album coming.

Fans of the concept album and the new Broadway production will be pleased to know that the musical will be releasing an original cast album on June 7. The new recording will be produced by David Lai and Todd Sicakfoose.
