Anaïs Mitchell is a singer-songwriter, playwright, and the creator of Hadestown — the Broadway musical that has won eight Tony Awards and is now the 40th longest-running show in Broadway history.

In this interview, Junior Reporter Paloma sits down with her to talk about discovering music, turning Greek mythology into a Broadway hit, and what she'd tell any kid who wants to start writing songs or theatre today.

Anaïs is also the narrator of our Ani DiFranco bedtime story.
