Acclaimed Broadway musical 'Hadestown' hits Atlanta's Fox Theatre

ATLANTA - One of the biggest hits in recent Broadway history is making its Atlanta debut this week — and only Good Day Atlanta is going backstage to chat with the talented musicians helping to make "Hadestown" the hottest ticket in town!

The Tony-winning Broadway hit "Hadestown" opened at the Fox Theatre Tuesday night and runs through Sunday, Jan. 15, playing a total of eight shows during its premiere Atlanta engagement.
