saw hadestown last night and knew about it except the like basic summary, heres some things that i loved

- Everyone, including orchestra, toasting together

- (Jordan Fisher’s) Orpheus trying to hold (Maia Reficco’) Eurydice’s hand and missing so she had to scramble to grab his hand

- The show just suddenly starting with the entire cast running in, having a good time, and then the story starting as (Stephanie Mills’s) Hermes begins to narrate and Orpheus and Eurydice run out and back in. Really showed how this is just a tale they tell over and over again

- (Tara Jackson’s) Persephone’s entire drunk dance

- When (Philip Boykin’s) Hades gave Persephone a flower the entire audience aww-ed,

- Hades’s crazy deep voice, literally shook my bones

- The Ensemble, in general (especially during scene where finally able to see, all their individual reactions were unique and lowkey made me emotional)

-Orpheus, Hades (and maybe Persephone) harmonizing quickly during a ‘laalalala’ lyric

- Every single time Orpheus sang any version of Epic and all the lights lit up as the ensemble joined, seriously I felt I was seeing into heaven

- The lighting immersing you far into the world with blinding light, absolute darkness, sudden flashes onto characters, etc.

- The stage suddenly just opening up even more??? like what?? and it spinning and going up and down and omg whoever designed this stage is a genius

- the subtle fourth wall breaks that feel like their really speaking right to you

- Persephone death-glaring at Hades from behind Orpheus and Eurydice when he’s deciding whether or not to let them go

- the costume design

- Orpheus just suddenly running in from the audience like two feet away from me

- Hermes both narrating and also being a big part of the story, the one who raises Orpheus and tells him how to get to the Underworld, also being an entire vibe

- (Jessie Shelton, Brit West, KC Dela Cruz’s) The Fates being huge bullies and having a fantastic time doing so

- Everyone singing so beautifully, I know this is a Broadway show, but still!! The harmonies, the solos, the duets, the polyphony’s, going from singing so softly to having a sudden rasp or becoming loud

- Persephone singing a song with Orpheus on the guitar at the end of bows
