Patrick Page, Broadway’s Tony-nominated Hades of Hadestown who was scheduled to join the other original production castmates in a monthlong West End reunion engagement this month, has withdrawn from the run due to a full rupture of his Achilles tendon.

Page, however, will perform for the live capture pro-shot performances on February 28 and March 1. The filming of the original cast West End reunion was announced in January.

In an Instagram message, Page, pictured with his ankle in a cast (see it below) wrote, “Bad news first: my injury is a full rupture of the Achilles tendon. Obviously, that’s a serious business, and I will not be able to perform in the West End production. The role of Hades will be carried magnificently by Phillip Boykin.

“The good news is that I WILL perform in the live capture pro-shot (including the live-audience performances 2/28 & 3/1) before returning to NYC for my surgery — so you will all be able to see the full OG cast perform together when the film is released.”

Anaïs Mitchell’s Tony-winning Broadway musical, based on the Orpheus myth, opened on Broadway April 17, 2019, with the original cast including Reeve Carney as Orpheus, André De Shields as Hermes, Amber Gray as Persephone, Eva Noblezada as Eurydice and Page as Hades.

The Hadestown filming will take place at London’s Lyric Theatre across three performances on Friday, February 28 and both matinee and evening performances on Saturday March 1.

Hadestown, with a new London cast, opened to huge critical acclaim at the Lyric Theatre last February. It is produced in London by Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, Tom Kirdahy and the National Theatre in association with JAS Theatricals.

The original Broadway cast – Carney, De Shields, Gray, Noblezada and Page – is appearing with the support of Equity UK, incorporating the Variety Artistes’ Federation, pursuant to an exchange program between American Equity and Equity UK.
