‘Hadestown’ Parts Ways With Hades Actor Geno Segers After Online Controversy

The Broadway production of Hadestown has parted ways with actor Geno Segers, who was slated to join the cast as Hades. The announcement of his departure follows the recent reveal of a new principal cast earlier this week, which had initially included Segers in the role.

Segers, whose professional background includes stage credits in The Lion King and On the Town alongside various television roles, is no longer associated with the production. The decision follows public backlash and online controversy that emerged shortly after his casting was made public.
