“Growing up in Argentina as the daughter of a musical theatre director, my passion for theatre was ignited at a young age. I would listen to any score and try to see any show I could,” said Reficco in a statement. “I first saw Hadestown in 2019 with the original cast and instantly fell in love with the production. It was awe-inspiring how the company brought the story to life, and Eva Noblezada, she literally made Eurydice a dream role for me. I am overwhelmed and honored that now this dream is coming true. I cannot wait to be a part of a show that left such an impression on me and hope we can continue to do the same for others.”
