Hadestown (Teen Edition)

If Hadestown seems an odd choice of a musical to adapt for kids, think about how it is a tale of true love struggling against the worst of odds as Orpheus combats Hades to win back his love, Eurydice. That’s teen angst right there. The adaptation offers both more accessible singing parts and tones down touchy subject matter — substance abuse and sex. There’s still a lively score and a killer plot. Children’s Theater of Madison offers this student production at 7 p.m. Friday, 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday
