CRUNCHEM HALL DWELLER

...because if given the chance, wouldn't we all roam the halls of Crunchem Hall? I like Broadway, mostly the phenomenally talented cast of MATILDA THE MUSICAL.

Hades: hey, little songbird, let me guess, he's some kind of poet and he's penniless

Eurydice: who’s gonna make the wedding bed? ;)

Orpheus, who sleeps on the piano bench at Mister Hermes’ tavern: the. BiRds, will?

eurydice:

me: the staging of the fates in a triangle on the wall in front of hadestown is a deliberate reference to cerberus, hades’s three-headed dog that guarded the underworld. they are the three heads that snarl and bare their teeth to try and bar orpheus from entering hadestown to rescue eurydice. throughout the show, the fates are also compared to a rattlesnake, another reference to the myth in which eurydice dies from a snakebite on her wedding night. this is intentional on anaïs and rachel’s part to further illustrate the divide between the fates, the gods, and the mortals. the fates are ubiquitous beings that take on many forms and exist to plant the seeds of doubt and anxiety and discomfort in both the characters’ and the audience’s heads, and they need to be seen as such. not as gods, nor as mortals, but as separate entities.

therapist: let’s talk about your childhood

okay i just gotta take a minute to say that “how long” has some of the most beautiful lines, some of my favorites from the whole show, for example:

all of his sorrow won’t fit in his chest/it burns like a fire in the pit of his chest/and his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest

what does he care for the logic of kings/the laws of your underworld?/it is only for love that he sings/he sings for the love of a girl

nothing comes from wishing on stars/and nothing comes of the songs people sing/however sorry they are

the kingdom will fall for a song
