✨ AIMS Countdown – 1 Day to Go & 7 Nominations to Celebrate! ✨
Today, we celebrate the nomination that represents every person who played a part in bringing Hadestown to life — our nomination for Best Overall Show.
This nomination belongs to an entire company.
It belongs to every cast member who poured their heart into every rehearsal and performance. It belongs to our musicians, who brought Anaïs Mitchell’s extraordinary score to life night after night. It belongs to our production team, costume, props, crew, volunteers, parents, and supporters who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the impossible possible.
When we set out to stage the Irish premiere of Hadestown, we knew we were taking on one of the most ambitious projects in Bellvue’s history. We challenged ourselves creatively, technically, and artistically. We transformed a school hall into the world of gods, workers, lovers, and dreamers. We built a rotating stage, descended into the Underworld, brought our band on stage, and created a theatrical experience that immersed audiences from the moment they entered the room.
The commitment shown by every single person involved are what made this production so extraordinary.
To receive a nomination for Best Overall Show is the ultimate recognition of a collective effort. It acknowledges not one performance, one department, or one moment, but every person who contributed to the production and the standard of work achieved by the company as a whole.
Whether you performed on stage, played in the band, worked backstage, helped front of house, volunteered your time, or supported from the audience, this nomination belongs to you too.
We are incredibly proud of what was achieved with Hadestown and honoured that it has been recognised by AIMS.
Whatever happens in Killarney, this company has already achieved something very special.
Congratulations to every member of the Bellvue family. This nomination is for all of us. ❤️🎭✨
