Hadestown Teen Edition
Watford Grammar School for Girls - MAIN HALL, Watford, WD18 0AE
Wednesday 25th March 2026 - Friday 27th March 2026
WELCOME TO HADESTOWN, WHERE A SONG CAN CHANGE YOUR FATE.
HADESTOWN is the winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. Seen by three million, streamed by half a billion and adored by fans around the world. Watford Girls are delighted to be one of the first schools in the UK to be granted a performing licence for the Teen Edition.
HADESTOWN takes you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back, intertwining two ancient greek mythic love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice and King Hades and his wife Persephone, set against a unique musical score rooted in American folk and New Orleans Jazz & Blues. We have an extremely talented cast, crew and orchestra of over 50 students bringing this show to life.
The success of the productions at Watford Girls continues to grow, after winning the 'Best Actress in a Musical award' at the National School Theatre Awards in 2024 and then being invited to perform at the awards ceremony in the West End in June 2025. We hope you'll join us once again to head Way Down Hadestown.
The school car park will be open on a first come first served basis for a £2 charge. All proceeds will go directly to the School Production Fund.
