Grammy Award-winning musician Ani DiFranco has taken on a new role on Broadway, portraying the Greek goddess Persephone in the Tony-winning musical Hadestown. DiFranco, known for her indie singer/songwriter career, joined the show alongside Lola Tung on Feb. 9.
Having collaborated with Hadestown creator Anaïs Mitchell on the music for the show's concept album in 2010, DiFranco describes Hadestown as a remarkable piece of writing and theater. She views her Broadway debut as a valuable learning experience, especially as she embarks on her own theater project.
