Orpheus moments I miss from NYTW Hadestown

*about Orpheus* “There was a young man down on a bended knee, and thus begins the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice!”

“You see the world? (Of course I do.) I’ll make it beautiful for you. For you I’ll change the way it is.”

[Are you always this confident?] “When I look at you I am.”

“You haven’t heard me sing.”

The biiiirds are gonna lay the wedding bed.

(every sing part of “Wedding Song”)

ooOOOooooh queen of flowers... queen of fields.... queen of the green and the growing earth.

But the other HAlf she could walk in the sUUuuun, and the sun in turn burned twice as bright.

Why would he trade the sunshine for a couple of nickels and dimes?

So give me a lyre and a campfire and an open field at night. Give me the sky that you can’t buy or sell at any price.”

*raises toast glass encouragingly.* “Well, come on.” (....) “Let the world we dream about be the one we live in now!”

EVERYBODY HUNGRY EVERYBODY TIRED, EVERYBODY SLAAAVE BY THE SWEAT HIS BROW - THE WAGE IS NOTHIN’ AND THE WORK IS HARD, ITS A GRAVEYARD IN HADESTOWN!

Hades was king of the kingdom of Dirt.

The river rOse UP. Sinign La, la la la, La la laaaaa.

I’ll sing a song of a love gone wrong.

WAAAAAAIT FOR ME! I’M COMIIIII -IIIIN. WAAAIT I’M - COMING WITH YOU!! (It hits different that Reeve’s, sorry.)

Wait... wait... wait....

“Nah, I walked. I walked and sang.”

I see someone stronger than me. I see someone who survives. I see my wife!

Marry me. Say I do. I came all this way to ask you to.

It isn’t true. [She belongs to him] Say it isn’t true.

If It’s true what they say, if my love is gone for good. They can take this heart away. They can take this flesh and blood.

if it’s true what they say, there is nothing to be done. there is no part to be played. there are no songs to be sung. take this Voice... Take these HAAAaaands I can’t use them anyway....”

BUT THE ONES WHO TELL THE LIIiiiEEEees are the solemnest to swear. And the ones who roll the dice. always say the TOss is fair”

(literally all of “If It’s True”. Broadway could never.)

And Hades is King of the Scythe and the sword, he covers the world in the color of rust.

The Heart of a man is a simple one; smmall and soft - flesh and blood.

And SUddenly Hades was only a Man. With the taste of Nectar upon his lips...!

“Eurydice. I know the way. I promise.”

Promises you made to me. You said that you would Stay with me, Whatever weather came our way. Promises you made. 

Doubt COOoomes in and AwfUl SiLeence.... it’s as though you aaaren’t there....”

Doubt COOOoomeees in and my  heart FAUlters. And FORGEEEEETS the SOOoongs it SUUuuuuung.

[You’re early.] “I missed you.”

*about Orpheous” I raise my cup to him. (VS “them” in the bdwy version) Wherever he is wandering, alone upon the earth, let all our singing follow him and bring him comfort.”
