Allison Russell joins Broadway cast of Hadestown, postpones US tour to 2025

Earlier this year, Allison Russell announced a North American tour that was supposed to take place in October and November. She had to postpone it until April and May 2025, but she has a very good reason for the postponement: Russell has joined the cast of Anaïs Mitchell's acclaimed Broadway musical. Hadestown. Russell will make her debut as Persephone at New York's Walter Kerr Theatre on Tuesday, November 12.

“It is impossible for me to fully express how deeply meaningful, resonant, uplifting and full-circle it is to make my Broadway debut and play the role of Persephone (a goddess and archetype I have explored myself in poems and songs since childhood) in this timeless classic,” Russell said in a statement. “I am proud to join the sisterhood of women artists who have embodied Persephone, proud to join this extraordinary ensemble, proud to become a part of this living, growing legacy. This is a world I dreamed of and now get to live in. I am excited and eternally grateful to be a part of it. Hadestown! See you deep underground!”

Once she is back on tour, Russell will tour in support of The Returnee. She will be joined on the tour by special guest Kara Jackson. Find Russell's tour dates below, including upcoming shows with Hozier.
