Special Episode: Patrick Page

He’s the Grammy winner and Tony nominee who’s established himself as one of the finest of his generation, thanks to his remarkable stage talents and instantly recognisable voice. And now, this October, he’s heading way down under once again to deliver us the ultimate Hadestown gift, as his performance as Hades in the Anaïs Mitchell-penned musical comes to the big screen for audiences across the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. So, to mark the occasion and the start of these exclusive cinema showings, we explore the joys of Hadestown and his favourite memories from developing the now Tony-winning musical, including its rather special time at the National Theatre in London back in 2018, its journey from New York Theatre Workshop to Broadway and now the big screen – and why he continues to see the show as a developing and growing piece of art. Plus, the evolution of the political references in the musical, his thrill at observing his cast during the first 20 minutes of the show, and why his co-star Amber Gray remains – forever – his North Star. We also talk about audience members walking out, his now-iconic ‘I missed ya’ line delivery, and why it’s nothing but a “dream come true” for this stage legend to return to the world of Hadestown for this live cinema capture.
