Maia Reficco will make her Broadway debut as ‘Eurydice’ in the Tony® and Grammy Award-winning Best Musical, Hadestown. Most recently seen in the hit HBO Max series, “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” Reficco will begin performances on Tuesday, July 2 at the Walter Kerr Theatre (219 W 48th Street).
“I am so elated to be joining the cast of Hadestown!” stated Reficco. “Growing up in Argentina as the daughter of a Musical Theater Director, my passion for theater was ignited at a young age. I would listen to any score and try to see any show I could. I first saw Hadestown in 2019 with the original cast and instantly fell in love with the production. It was awe-inspiring how the company brought the story to life, and Eva Noblezada, she literally made ‘Eurydice’ a dream role for me. I am overwhelmed and honored that now this dream is coming true. I cannot wait to be a part of a show that left such an impression on me and hope we can continue to do the same for others.”

Hadestown originated as Anaïs Mitchell’s indie theater project that toured Vermont which she then turned into an acclaimed album. With Rachel Chavkin, her artistic collaborator, Hadestown has been transformed into a genre-defying new musical that blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale.
Tickets for Hadestown are available at www.seatgeek.com/hadestown-tickets or by visiting the Walter Kerr Theatre box office (219 West 48th Street).
Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience.
