“I saw Hadestown in February of 2020 and immediately fell in love with the show,” Tung said in a statement. “I’d had dreams of being on Broadway since I performed in my middle school musicals, and after seeing Hadestown I instantly added it to the little list of dream shows in my mind.”

The casting was announced today by producers Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, and Tom Kirdahy. The role of Eurydice was performed by Eva Noblezada when the Anaïs Mitchell musical had its Broadway premiere in 2019.

In addition to Pfeiffer and Who, Hadestown, at the Walter Kerr Theatre, currently stars Jordan Fisher, Lillias White and Phillip Boykin.
