no, though there is an ongoing bird metaphor that sometimes references a bird (songbird, canary, etc.) dying

An angry dog is mentioned but used as a metaphor and never actually shown.

Hades' and the Fates are generally manipulative of others around them, particularly targeting Eurydice and Persephone

Persephone mentions a few drugs throughout but no one is shown taking any

In the Broadway run Persephone is constantly drunk and says that she won't make it through the winter without her drugs/alcohol. Parts of the show take place in a bar, so characters drink throughout, including at Persephone's speakeasy.

No, but Hades' encounter with Eurydice has some sexual and predatory undertones.

A character comes onstage with a visible bloody cut on their cheek. There is no cutting.

A character is beaten up by multiple people in the second act and receives a bloody gash to the cheek and a bloody nose. That is the only blood featured.

No, but characters descend through an elevator platform in the stage, and a character very rapidly descends to under the stage at the end of the show.

a line in the show ("give them a rope and they'll h*ng themselves") is used as a metaphor for setting a test for someone

Both main characters are said to be orphans but we do not know what happened to any of their parents, except for the mother of one of them who is said to have "abandoned" him.

It is implied, but never stated or shown, that Hades was into Eurydice despite being married to Persephone, though he later says that he wasn't--Eurydice meant nothing to him.

No, but a character nearly entirely loses their memory after having implied to cross the river Lethe (river of forgetfulness) into the underground, as all souls do.

The majority of the show takes place in the underworld/afterlife and with the "souls" there. While they do not look like ghosts, the concept of souls after death may still be triggering.

It is not explicit, but it is implied throughout that Eurydice (and most of the other souls in Hadestown) are there out of necessity. [SPOILERS] Eurydice and some of the others made the decision to "die" in the real world so they would have work in the afterlife.

No, but characters mention food, eating and even starvation multiple times, which might be triggering.

Many times the narrator, Hermes, will speak to the audience and look/gesture directly to them. The audience is referred to as “men” (referring to humans) when gestured to by Hermes in the prelude to Wait for Me (reprise) in the second act. Several characters glance out over the audience. The curtain bow song has (nearly all) the characters sing to the audience and make a toast with them.

There are sexual undertones to a few songs, but absolutely nothing explicit. Orpheus and Eurydice lay beside each other in the choreography, Hades' encounter with Eurydice, etc.

No, but a character experiences forgetting their memories and who they are, and several characters have to recall their identity.

It is implied that Eurydice has no home, being “a runaway from everywhere she’s ever been” and “no stranger to the world.”

I believe there is fake blood/injuries after a fight scene, but if it is it's very minor and not graphic.
