The House Concurrent Resolution honors the Vermonters involved in the creation of the Tony Award-winning musical "Hadestown," which was originally developed by Anas Mitchell shortly after her graduation from Middlebury College in 2004. The musical, a modern adaptation of the Greek myth of Orpheus, premiered in 2006 in Barre, Vermont, and underwent significant revisions before its Broadway debut in 2019, where it received eight Tony Awards. The resolution highlights the contributions of various Vermont artists, including Michael Chorney and Ben T. Matchstick, and acknowledges the ongoing involvement of Robinson Morse as a performing musician.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes the collaborative efforts of Montpelier High School and U-32 Middle and High School in staging a teen version of "Hadestown" in 2024-2025, under the guidance of theater directors Maren Langdon Spillane and Erin Galligan-Baldwin, with support from Anas Mitchell and Ben T. Matchstick. The General Assembly expresses its appreciation for the artistic achievements of these Vermonters and their role in fostering youth theater, directing the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to the involved parties.
