Earlier this year, Allison Russell announced a North American tour that was meant to take place in October and November. She’s had to move it to 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, on Tuesday, November 12, at New York’s Walter Kerr Theatre.
“Impossible for me to fully convey how deeply meaningful, resonant, uplifting, and full circle it is to be making my Broadway debut, starring in the role of Persephone (a Goddess and archetype I have explored in both poetry and song myself since childhood) in this timeless instant classic,” Russell said in a statement. “I am proud to be joining the sisterhood of artists who’ve embodied Persephone, proud to be joining this extraordinary ensemble, proud to become a part of this living, growing legacy. This is a World I’ve dreamt of and one I get to live in now. I am excited and grateful beyond measure to be joining Hadestown! See you way down under the ground!”
Once she gets back on the road, Russell will be touring in support of The Returner. She’ll be joined on tour by special guest Kara Jackson. See Russell’s tour dates, including upcoming shows with Hozier, below.
