Converge Media’s Besa Gordon and Trae Holiday travelled to LA for the beginning of the Hadestown national tour, part of Broadway Across America. They brought Converge’s brand to the red carpet as they talked to actors from the show and writer Anais Mitchell.

Last month, Trae Holiday and Besa Gordon took over LA. During this trip, Holiday got to interview Kimberly Marable and Kevin Morrow, the star-studded Persephone and Hades of Hadestown.

Hadestown is an eight-time Tony Award-winning musical and is now taking its talent on tour. Hadestown is a musical with a complex story and spectacular vocals, especially from Marable (Persephone) and Morrow (Hades).

Levi Kreis is Tony Award winning actor from Tennessee and spoke to Trae Holiday and Besa Gordon about what he brings to the role and his experience with the show.

“Not only is this in my world as someone who has been a singer-songwriter for years,” Kreis said. “But also the message of Hermes really spoke to me.”

Morgan Siobhan Green and Nicholas Barasch play Eurydice and Orpheus in Hadestown, but their on-stage chemistry is a product of a deeper bond.

“We definitely embody our characters a lot,” Barasch said. Both he and Green say their off-stage presence mimics what viewers see during the show, adding an air of authenticity to this stunning production.

Trae Holiday and Besa Gordon got the opportunity to interview Anais Mitchell, the writer of the eight-time Tony award-winning musical Hadestown, at its Los Angeles red carpet premiere.

Hadestown is widely considered as musical theater royalty. The show first started in 2006, but it didn’t debut on Broadway until 2019, almost 13 years after its conception. Now, in 2022 Hadestown has finally made its way to a national tour.
