Greater Ocean City Theatre Company Junior Company to Perform Hadestown This Weekend
The Greater Ocean City Theatre Company’s Junior Company is set to perform the highly acclaimed folk opera “Hadestown: Teen Edition” this weekend. The show offers audiences a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience at the Ocean City Music Pier.
This beguiling and beautiful sung-through musical, with book, music, and lyrics by Anaïs Mitchell, was a Broadway sensation, sweeping eight 2019 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and winning a 2020 Grammy Award. The Junior Company’s production presents the celebrated tale in its youth-friendly version.
Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Hadestown interweaves two mythical love stories: that of the young, idealistic dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of the immortal rulers King Hades and Lady Persephone. The musical invites audiences on a journey to the underworld and back, exploring themes that pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
The Greater Ocean City Theatre Company’s Junior Company will present Hadestown: Teen Edition for two performances only at the Ocean City Music Pier:4
- Friday, October 18: 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, October 19: 2:00 p.m.
Tickets are priced at $15.00 and can be purchased online by visiting the company’s website.
