Anais Mitchell

Anaïs Mitchell is a Vermont and Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter who comes from the world of narrative folksong, poetry and balladry. Her show Hadestown earned eight 2019 Tony Awards, including the prestigious award for Best Musical.

Among her recorded works are Child Ballads, Young Man in America, and Hadestown, the latter of which she expanded into the theatre show. Hadestown debuted off-Broadway in 2016 at New York Theatre Workshop, and went to Londons National Theatre in November 2018 before transferring to Broadway. She has headlined shows around the world, and opened tours with Bon Iver, Josh Ritter, Punch Brothers and Patty Griffin. If there's a common thread in Mitchell's work it's that she's as interested in the world around her as the one inside her.
