Injured Patrick Page Out Of London ‘Hadestown’ Reunion But Will Return For Live Capture Taping

deadline.com:

Patrick Page, Broadway‘s Tony-nominated Hades of Hadestown who was scheduled to join the other original production castmates in a monthlong West End reunion engagement this month, has withdrawn from the run due to a full rupture of his Achilles tendon.

Page, however, will perform for the live capture pro-shot performances on February 28 and March 1. The filming of the original cast West End reunion was announced in January.

In an Instagram message, Page, pictured with his ankle in a cast (see it below) wrote, “Bad news first: my injury is a full rupture of the Achilles tendon.

Obviously, that’s a serious business, and I will not be able to perform in the West End production. The role of Hades will be carried magnificently by Phillip Boykin. “The good news is that I WILL perform in the live capture pro-shot (including the live-audience performances 2/28 & 3/1) before returning to NYC for my surgery — so you will all be able to see the full OG cast perform together when the film is released.” Anaïs Mitchell’s Tony-winning Broadway musical, based on the Orpheus myth, opened on Broadway April 17, 2019, with the original cast including Reeve Carney as Orpheus, André De Shields as Hermes, Amber Gray as Persephone, Eva Noblezada as Eurydice and Page as Hades.
