  Did you like the video, but want to learn even MORE about Hadestown? This book was basically my bible for this episode and there were so many goodies in it that I wanted to throw in but just didn&apos;t have the time allowance to do so: <a href="https://amzn.to/3B6I4dw">https://amzn.to/3B6I4dw</a>

  There was one more chapter in Hadestown’s history of defiance: When the pandemic closed Broadway, the producers put the show into an 18 month hibernation but nobody walked away. The thunderous, cathartic ovation Andre received in September 2021 is still online here. &nbsp;The show came back, the audience came back — and they’ve been “singing it again” ever since. &nbsp;They just celebrated their 2000th performance, and it still feels fresh.

  To me, the biggest proof that this show works, is that even tho I knew the story, I was at the edge of my seat in the end, wondering If Orpheus was going to keep his head forward or was going to turn it... The show made me care, gave me hope and then gloriously shattered them

  The way that Eva Noblezada and Reeve Carney actually fell in love during this process makes me want to cry in a good way

  Wait a minute...so you&apos;re telling me Rachel Chavkin was working on Hadestown AND Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 at the same time?!?!?! Goddamn, I thought I couldn&apos;t respect and admire that woman more than I already did, yet here I am

  Oh, I only just realized that the swinging lights are kind of like how you see passing lights by the road. Wow/

  “This is going to win a Tony” <br>Cut to YouTube ad: “Broadway’s reigning Grammy and Tony winning Hadestown…” <br>Gods that made be laugh and tear up a bit. This masterpiece has come so far and although I have nothing to do with it I somehow feel so proud of it.

  I am just glad Reeve is getting the recognition he deserves - he IS Orpheus, and even though I love Damon, Reeve captures that naïveté in a way that is mesmerizing and perfect for the role. Plus that falsetto tho - SHEEESH<br><br>and I mean we’d all die for Eva so<br>I have that one part of Wait For Me (Reprise) on repeat always
