Eurydice: why would I become his wife?

Hermes: maybe for the vibe

Eurydice: vibe? That's worth a lot,,

i like how when referencing Hades, Hermes says “Oh, we’ll get to him” and then the rest of the show features not only the whole cast going to Hades’ location, but also Orpheus (and really Eurydice, the Workers, Persephone, and the entire context of the events that happen) ‘getting to’ Hades as in, getting through to Hades and ultimately affecting him.

orpheus, drawn halfheartedly with my left thumb on my phone

[majorxmuseyxboy]

was anyone going to tell me that broadway!Orpheus managed  to push two of the workers away before getting curbstomped? 😭 bway!Orphe is considered the Delicate Flower of the Orpheus Collective but 😭 my boy gets back up after taking a Timothy Hughes (and four other people) to the face 😭😭😭 my squirmy little cadet  really kept right on struggling the whole way through 😭 oh my god 😭

okay but Orpheus singing the line from The Grinning Man, about “Fighting for the strength to look into the eyes of someone who is maiming you, and see that they’re the same as you” and “I look in the eyes of [the king/god of...? the man who...something? and I see myself” 👀

despite having seen the london and broadway versions and knowing how the scene plays out, i can never listen to Wedding Song and not visualize it as a fun little dance taking place, complete with a few twirls.

Hermes: How to get to Hadestown. You gotta take the

through the underground under cover of night layin low stayin out of sight

[majorxmuseyxboy]

orpheus moves like when shaggy or scooby try to run and they’re just kind of stuck in one place for a second before they actually get going

[majorxmuseyxboy]

how many times do i have to listen to hadestown before i build up immunity and it stops making me Feel Things(tm) i’m exhausted from turning inside out every time i hear if it’s true or chant ii

[majorxmuseyxboy]

so like. where do the fates go and what do they do after the end of hadestown? do they stick around to be mean to eurydice or do they follow orphe around and sneakily suggest he try jumping off a cliff from time to time or..?

[majorxmuseyxboy]

Hadestown but instead of If It’s True Orpheus sings You’re the Voice by John Farnham except instead of the “whoa oh oh oh oh”s he sings Lalalas to the same tune

wofai replied to your post “london!orpheus has the spirit of a young tom cruise character”

Now why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?

because truth demands to be spoken

[majorxmuseyxboy]

Hermes: You wanna talk to her?

Orpheus: Yes.

Hermes: Orpheus. Don't come on too strong.

Orpheus:

Orpheus, approaching Eurydice: Trombone, with me.

Eurydice: Wha

Brian Drye, standing next to Orpheus: *passionate trombone noises*

Orpheus: It's for moral support and also atmosphere. You're pretty. We should get married.

[majorxmuseyxboy]

Hades: *trying to explain the logic of kings to Orpheus* Orpheus
