Broadway musical “Hadestown” ends its plan to cast Geno Segers as Hades following online controversy, according to multiple outlets. Producers Mara Isaacs, Dale Franzen, Hunter Arnold, and Tom Kirdahy announced earlier in the week a new principal cast for the long-running production, naming Segers to take on the central role of Hades. His prior stage credits include roles in “On the Town” and “The Lion King,” and he has also appeared in television series including “Banshee.” After the announcement circulated, outlets report that the news drew backlash on social media. In response to the online reaction, “Hadestown” parts ways with Segers and he is no longer scheduled to join the Broadway cast. The reports do not provide details about the specific nature of the online objections. Across the coverage, the consistent points are that Segers was announced as part of the principal casting and then removed shortly afterward, with producers citing the controversy only in connection with the online backlash.
