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

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

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.

I don't care how good your current hadestown is. it should've been the live original cast version instead.

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

Propaganda:
Look up Hey Little Songbird or Why Do We Build The Wall from Hadestown and tell me he wouldn’t be perfect.

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:

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
