Nicola Roberts is going to join Hadestown in the West End as Persephone

Her run spans mid-September 2025 to mid-January 2026 at the Lyric.

Nicola Roberts is set to join the West End cast of Hadestown at London’s Lyric Theatre, taking on the role of Persephone from 16th September 2025 until 18th January 2026.

Roberts, known as a member of Girls Aloud, will appear alongside Desmonda Cathabel as Eurydice, Chris Jarman as Hades, Cedric Neal as Hermes, and Dylan Wood as Orpheus. Melanie Bright, Allie Daniel and Lauran Rae play the Fates; Femi Akinfolarin, Michelle Andrews, Ollie Bingham, Laura Delany and Sebastian Lim-Seet are the Workers, with Lucinda Buckley, Juan Jackson, Oisín Nolan-Power, Lindo Shinda and Jasmine Triadi as Swings.

“I am beyond thrilled to be joining the cast of Hadestown in London. This show is a true masterpiece, and I am honoured to be a part of such a talented and inspiring team. The role of Persephone has such depth and complexity, she feels light and sorrow, joy and darkness. Her songs are rich with emotion and an absolute joy to sing, and I’m excited to explore every facet of her character on stage. I am grateful for this incredible opportunity, and I can't wait to share this journey with audiences in London. Let's take a trip to the underworld together!” Roberts says.

Hadestown features music, lyrics and book by Anaïs Mitchell, developed with director Rachel Chavkin. The production weaves the stories of Orpheus and Eurydice with Hades and Persephone. Further information and tickets are available at uk.hadestown.com.
