Birmingham Mom Collective is thrilled to tell local families about all the exciting, family-friendly events coming to the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) this spring! Did you know that the BJCC includes several different event/show venues like the concert hall, Legacy Arena, Protective Stadium, and more?! There is truly something for everyone to enjoy. Here is our list of the best family events at the BJCC this spring…

When: Tuesday, March 19 – Sunday, March 24
Where: BJCC Concert Hall
Tickets: Purchase here
Age Recommendation: Adults and children 8 and up
Welcome to Hadestown, where a song can change your fate. This acclaimed new musical by celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today . . . and always.
Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales—that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone—as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
