Dónal Finn as Orpheus.

Do you think Hadestown Orpheus is divorced from his other myths or right before the musical he just got back from a horrible trip with Jason and the boys?

What even would the equivalent be in this case? Shitty Great Depression road trip?

confusing Odysseus and Orpheus is like confusing a liar and a lyre. send post

Hadestown and cyclical stories stuck in the brain after watching West side story the other night and thinking about how Romeo and Juliet have a similar story. Not only of doomed lovers but of being told a thousand times, names and body’s change but the love remains.

It’s been asked before but do you think, just maybe they’re a little tired? Or is it enough to replay the sweet, private moments knowing you’ll get them again?

Anyway- They get a double date out of the fucking narrative with Orpheus and Eurydice. No retellings for two years they’re at the beach!!!👏

Also been losing my mind finding WSS frames that align with the 60s R&J but also now Hadestown. Could make a bunch of these 👀 I’m insane.

Thinking about this tray I saw where Orpheus is buttass naked

Hello ten second clip of Jordan Fisher’s Orpheus “all I know is that you’re someone that I’ve always known”

Absolutely obsessed with the fact the What’s on Stage rated Hadestown 4 starts for not having a happy ending the reviewer hoped for and getting immediately ratio-ed on Twitter for having no media literacy xD

But truly it’s such a brain dead take when the first thing the musical tells you is “it’s a sad song, it’s a tragedy and we sing it anyway”. Literally the whole point of Hadestown that you know from the very beginning that it’ll end tragically, yet in the process of watching the show you literally forget that warning because you believe that this will be the time when it works out! And yet you still tell this story anyway!

Like idk how hard it is to get that meaning when the musical literally tells you that in plain text

His Kiss, The Riot - Will Mann as Hades

Orpheus would say something that sounds like an incredibly cheesy pickup line but mean it so earnestly. Or he’d not understand the point of them/realize what he’s implying.

“Do you happen to have a Band-Aid? ‘Cause I scraped my knees falling for you” he in fact scraped his knees going to Eurydice’s table, absolutely ate shit, dropped a pickup line and has the eyes of a sad puppy or precious moments figure. You can’t not—

equally fucked up alternate version of the orpheus and eurydice myth where i successfully bring the great love of my life back from the dead without looking back but the unresolved trauma of their death leaves me so scared of losing them a second time that i can't bear to look at them ever again

THEY,, THEY WROTE A HAPPY ENDING FOR REEVE’S FINAL SHOW?? AND THEY PERFORMED IT DURING CURTAIN CALL AND AND HIM AND EVA WENT THROUGH THE DOOR TOGETHER?? AND HE DIDN’T TURN BACK?? HE DIDN’T TURN BACK

[attheendoftheline]

Okay so Jordan fisher… actually losing my mind. He’s different but he definitely has the ability, I can definitely see him big dumb La La La .

[id: a venn diagram with two circles. the left circle shows ‘over the garden wall’ and the right circle shows ‘hadestown’. the overlap between the two circles contains a list as follows:

time period is confusing

character(s) go to a location because they are freezing to death

good fucking soundtrack

premise of story is old and has been retold many times

roles for characters such as “lover” or “poet”

characters duped into eternally working for a magical/divine being

end id.]

has anyone done this yet? it’s autumn time babey

My new theory is that Anaïs keeps Reeve in the basement of the theater, he literally cannot leave. Even if he “leaves” he’s going to be like Aaron in Moulin rouge where they basically bring him out like a toy doll “everyone look it’s the boy!!!”

He’s been in the roll since what? God like 2011. Blink if you need help. (However then again if he really likes it I can’t blame him for staying as long as he has/can)

[attheendoftheline]

Goddd thinking about the time loop-y elements of Hadestown really makes the line “I knew you before we met, and I don’t even know you yet” hit different

aight so how long do we think reeve’s gonna last. i want bets, people
