Anaïs Mitchell is a Vermont and Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter who comes from the world of narrative folksong, poetry and balladry. Among her recorded works are the award-winning Child Ballads, Young Man in America, and Hadestown, the latter of which she expanded into a theatre show. Hadestown debuted off-Broadway in 2016 at New York Theatre Workshop, and will open at London’s National Theatre in November 2018 before transferring to Broadway. 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.
