Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Hadestown is a haunting and captivating musical that reimagines the classic Greek myths of Orpheus and Eurydice. This modern retelling transports you to a gritty, industrial underworld where love, loss, and the power of music intertwine. The show's unique blend of folk, blues, and jazz creates a mesmerizing soundscape that draws you into the depths of the underworld, but its true strength lies in its chilling ability to be relevant and topical despite the ever-changing landscape of the world within which it resides.

"Few stories grow in meaning through the cycle of performance as does Anaïs Mitchell’s musical adaptation of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, with its power to draw out human hope against all reason and all artistic permutations of the lovers’ tragic fate."

"Incredible strength lies in honoring both what is and what can be, and what “Hadestown” never questions is the power of hope."

Combo: The Museum of Broadway Tickets + Empire State Building Tickets

Elizabeth McKean Tribley
Entry was quick and easy. No issues with the tickets. Enjoyed the convenience of picking our own time to arrive. Once we got to the 86th floor observation deck we could take our time. The attendants were extremely friendly.

Combo: The Museum of Broadway Tickets + Empire State Building Tickets

Jorge Luis Leon Mendoza
I bought my tickets to the Empire State Building through Headout, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Since I was traveling with my partner and our schedule in New York was very tight, I needed a reliable platform that would guarantee me tickets without any hitches, and Headout delivered 100%.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Experience
Julia Kiefl-Spitzer
Everything about this play was unforgettable. The theater is breathtaking. The energy of others being able to see the play as well fills the room. Seeing the decorations they set out for guests to interact with were amazing. The play itself was magical and incredible. Even my husband was in awe with how they managed to do some of the things for it. We absolutely would go back to watch it again. The best part was being able to go while Tom Felton was acting as Draco once more. Then getting to see him exit the theater and ask for his autograph was the cherry on top!

Wicked

Experience
Brandee Lake
I had a fantastic experience using Headout to book tickets for Wicked on Broadway. The app made it easy to find exactly what I was looking for, and the booking process was completely seamless. The real highlight? I scored incredible orchestra seats near the front just two days before the show. The view was perfect, and the value for the price was unbeatable. Smooth, reliable, and great last-minute options—I’ll definitely be using Headout again.

Death Becomes Her

Experience
Gary Daniel Wadkins
I was curious to see how they were going to adapt the movie, and wondered if the dark humor would be glossed over. It didn't take long to have those concerns addressed and taken away! This is a funny show. The acting is excellent and the songs are very well done. We enjoyed every single minute. Bravo to the cast and crew! A+

Amazing experience! The show is incredible, the atmosphere on stage spilled into the seats. There were a few changes in the cast which took nothing away from the quality.

Combo: The Museum Of Broadway + American Museum of Natural History Tickets

Julia catrucco
I booked tickets directly on the Headout app, which in itself was extremely easy, once at the venue I went to the front desk and they scanned our tickets with no issues at all. The museum itself wasn't my cup of tea I enjoyed some aspects of it but I probably wouldn't reccomed the natural history museum to others. The Headout app however I would recommended for sure! I have a few more ticketed events I've booked through Headout still to do whilst we are in New York for the next week!
