The double meaning in “everybody dresses in clothes so fine” (fine meaning either beautiful or thin and worn out) and “everybody’s pockets are weighted down” (weighted down either symbolizing wealth and jewels or the physical and mental anguish of living in hadestown) will simply never cease to give me chills

In order to compensate for the fact that someone decided Cats needed to not have cats in it, we will replace the human characters in at least one musical with cats. We are hosting a poll to determine which musical will go full Jellicle in order to restore the balance of the universe, lest we unleash the flesh monster which resides in Patti Lupone's basement.

I tell myself it'll be alright but then the day becomes the night and there is not a friendly face in sight! // I'm trying to trust that the song he's working on is gonna harbor me from the wind, the wind, the wind

The Broadway version of hadestown makes it really feel like eurydice is like. bullying a mentally ill man who got left in the washer
#He's supposed to be saying he'll make the trees sing or whatever#because he's overly confident and exaggeratedly saying that the land will provide#so then she has reasonable concerns#but here this poor guy has a grandiose delusion somehow despite being incredibly wet#and shes just mean to him. like. girl....#i wouldnt call him a liar or a player he doesnt have the confidence to be either#when i saw the off broadway version it made me instantly understand his character and i was delighted by the lack of magic song of the gods#and it also made me hate the broadway version so much#hadestown

Stu would literally rap Hamilton in Billy's ear if he lived long enough to hear the musical. But he's the type of person to sing all the parts, so he's out of breath and gasping for air while annoying the fuck outta Billy, who just wanted to listen to Hadestown or something like that, but now he has to deal with a sweaty Stu who's jumping around and singing and dancing all parts of Hamilton
#they are theater nerds because i said so#i mean are they not dramatic as fuck??#billy likes hadestown and falsettos and chicago (for obvious reasons) and heathers because why not#stu likes hamilton and heathers and newsies and be more chill and he like sings EVERY DAMN PART#billy just wand a chill musical night and stu is literally jumping off the walls while singing about slurpees and guns#like bro chill#stuilly#stu x billy#billy x stu#scream movie#scream#scream 1996#stu macher#billy loomis#musicals#broadway#theatre nerd#theater#theatre#broadway musicals#oh and they both love beetlejuice obviously :]

Me: Yeah. I'm not sure if I'll ever have the urge to go see Hadestown. Some of the casting has made me want to, but I just haven't had the time. Hadestown: Carlos Valdes will be Orpheus! Me: ... The StarKid part of my brain: *screaming* Me: ... Ok fine you might have got me this time.
#carlos valdes#hadestown#starkid#team starkid#that's RIGHT. STARKID. if there's one thing i'm gonna go full hipster 'before it was cool' about it's going to be Carlos.#that man (and AJ Holmes) gave us 90% of the songs in Me and My Dick and we are better off for it.#give it a listen if you haven't in a decade. it's UNDERAPPRECIATED. it's so jazzy and fun.#when he was cast in the Flash i was so proud. sure i didn't watch it. but i was so proud. and look at him now.#i love seeing my starkids succeed.#when he came back for Homecoming people didn't even realize he was involved in StarKid at all. he was there at the start!#plus he and Joe Carroll and AJ Holmes were the AVPM band and all also made it to broadway multiple times#that was so funny when Joe joined cinderella and the starkids were like 'now our entire original band is officially more successful'#yeah. this might have been the hadestown casting i was waiting for. like specifically targeted at me.#Lilias almost got me. Stephanie almost got me. even Jordan almost got me. but no. Carlos. is the reason i'm actively considering seeing it.#i mean. look. i gotta support my starkid babies. i must.

I don't care how good your current hadestown is. it should've been the live original cast version instead.
#i love you hadestown#but my autism goes CRAZYYYYYYYYy when it is anything but the one version i know#it has to be the off broadway album with the red and yellow graphic art cover#that's MY hadestown#hadestown

I’m sorry but there is actually crack in damon daunno’s portrayal of orpheus. I’m convinced anaïs mitchell shook a copy of ovid’s metamorphoses too hard and he fell out
#orpheus and Eurydice#Greek mythology#hadestown#hadestown off broadway#damon daunno#like the way he sings WAAIT FOR ME is to tender and beautiful I can’t

Seeing how well that my other unrelated meme on a national holiday was, here is another I made that also spites the works of Vivziepop by taking a jab at her roots in musical theater by calling her creations worse than the biggest broadway bomb of all time:
#memes#hazbin hotel#helluva boss#broadway#spider man#turn off the dark#bono#julie taymor#marvel#marvel memes#hazbin hotel is overrated#helluva boss is overrated#hadestown#rogers the musical#viziepop#vivziepop is a bad writer#spindlehorse criticism#indie animation dark age

The inclusion of Hermes as a father figure rather than a narrator in Hadestown is the single best thing Anaïs Mitchell could possibly have done for the framing of her story in this essay I will-
#Soph’s posts#Hadestown#because!!! Because when Hermes is involved in the story it completely reshapes the way it’s being told!!!#He’s a character AND a narrator. The story is being told by somebody inside it#Because it’s not just a story even to those that know it’s a story. It’s both a life lived and a tale told.#The narrator is the thing that connects us to any story because without one we wouldn’t HAVE a story#And having a narrator who is also a character and is AWARE of that dual role integrates the audience brilliantly#As opposed to off-broadway when Hermes is inherently separate from the narrative or characters#He’s telling the story without being any kind of invested in it or doing anything to change it#Damon and Nabiyah’s Hadestown IS like a myth because it’s a story being presented by Hermes the showman#But Reeve and Eva’s Hadestown is closer to the audience because of Hermes’s closeness with Orpheus#And Orpheus is changed by Hermes’s new roles as well!!!#When he has a father figure to prompt him and help him he develops this otherworldly innocence#Which fits him much better than the separation between his magic and his personality#With Hermes pushing the story Orpheus goes from ignoring the world to not knowing it’s there#Like in come home with me where “don’t come on too strong” makes “come home with me” way sweeter#Damon’s Orpheus and his narrative would be way closer to Reeve’s if he had Andre’s Hermes#Damn I really did write an essay huh
