Hermes; And what do we say when we feel like this

Orpheus: la la la la la la

Hermes: no

[st-alia-atreides]

Eva: opens her mouth Sound: comes out Me: goes absolutely feral

Even though Orpheus fails to rescue Eurydice, I like to think that the impact he had on the people in Hadestown doesn’t fade away. I like to think that the workers remember the songs he was singing, remember his melodies even if they can’t remember his name, and become a little bit more free and self-aware as a result. And I like to think that sometimes, when Eurydice hums those songs to herself, she remembers, for a brief moment, the face of the boy that she loved.

thinking about how Hadestown doesn’t have a curtain to separate the audience from the stage so you just see the actors trickle out on to the stage and how the show openly invites you to talk during the opening (“A’ight? A’ight!!) and how the band gets introduced by Persephone and how Orpheus races through the audience and there’s a song after the curtain call because they don’t just want you to feel like part of story but wants you to be part of the story which is the exact point of the show bc we all retell the story of Orpheus and Eurydice with stars in our eyes and hope in our hearts!!

“Chant I” is very good and powerful but also kind of inadvertently hilarious because

PERSEPHONE: “In the darkest time of year WHY is it so BRIGHT down here? brighter than a carnival it ain’t right and it ain’t natural”

HADES: “Lover, you were gone so long lover, I was lonesome so I laid a power grid on the ground on which you stood”

translates pretty well into

PERSEPHONE: “oh my god i just had a going away party and now i come down here expecting it to be nice and dark, but now there’s fuckin lights all over and i have a hangover, what the fuck, husband”

HADES: “you left me alone and you’re like 90% of my impulse control so i wired the entire underworld for power, do you not like it????”

There was a poor boy and a hungry young girl. She called his name before she went. So he set out singing on the road to hell, to bring her home again.

WHOA WHOA WHOA wait….bottom right,, you can see orpheus brighten up as he hears her voice, but then he notices the desperation with which she says his name and his face falls

I don’t think anyone can understand how mad I am at how they treated Ali Stroker last night. They literally kept her backstage because they didn’t have a ramp for the night. All they had to do was get one cheap little ramp and instead they completely degraded a Tony nominee, now winner, by setting her apart from everyone else. Until the Tony awards are accessible for all, then they’re not as inclusive as they boast about being.
