Earlier this year, Alison Russell announced a North American tour scheduled for October and November. He was supposed to move it to April and May 2025, but he has a very good reason for the delay. Russell joined the cast of Anais Mitchell’s hit Broadway musical, Hadestown. Russell will make her debut as Persephone on Tuesday, November 12 at the Walter Kerr Theater in New York City.
“It is impossible for me to fully convey how deeply meaningful, resonant, exhilarating and full-circle it was to make my Broadway debut starring as Persephone (a goddess and archetype I myself have studied since childhood in both poetry and song) in this timeless instant classic. Russell said in a statement. “I am proud to join the sisterhood of artists who have portrayed Persephone, proud to join this extraordinary ensemble, proud to be a part of this living, growing legacy. This is a world I’ve dreamed of and where I can now live. I am thrilled and beyond grateful to join Hadestown! Can we see it underground?’
When he gets back on the road, Russell will tour in support The returner. He will be joined on tour by special guest Cara Jackson. See Russell’s tour dates, including upcoming shows with Hozier, below.
