Earlier this year, Allison Russell announced a North American tour that was set to take place in October and November. He had to move it to April and May 2025, but he has a very good reason for the postponement: Russell joined the cast of Anaïs Mitchell's acclaimed Broadway musical, Hadestown. Russell will make her debut as Persephone on Tuesday, November 12 at the Walter Kerr Theater in New York.
“It is impossible for me to fully convey how meaningful, resonant, uplifting, and full-circle it is to make my Broadway debut starring as Persephone (a goddess and archetype that I myself have explored in both poetry and song since my childhood) to this timeless instant classic,” Russell said in a statement. “I am proud to join the fraternity of artists who have embodied Persephone, proud to be a part of this extraordinary ensemble, proud to be a part of this living, growing legacy. This is a world I dreamed of and can live in now. I am thrilled and grateful beyond measure to be involved Hadestown! See you underground!”
Once back on the road, Russell will be touring to support it The Returner. He will be joined by special guest Kara Jackson on the tour. See Russell's tour dates, including upcoming shows with Hozier, below.
