things that happened during hadestown today (edition one probably bc i cannot remember all at once. these are the softer things):
- during living it up on top, when persephone has her arm around eurydice, eva made the funniest face at the line about the weather and then amber booped her nose.
- in way down hadestown, orpheus and eurydice walked over to the stool and she pushed him to sit down on it and kissed his cheek. then he sat down and she was leaning against him and whispered something and he was like what? and she repeated it (i think) and he did this very tender lil trailing his hand up his arm and then kissing her cheek thing.
- eva did So Many high kicks during the first act and they were all amazing. she was also super smiley it was sweet.
- reeve sprinted around the stage and i was so scared he was gonna fall. he did not.
- khaila was on today and she and john were hugging during the second act at one point twas sweet.
- when orpheus and eurydice were hugging during the bit were seph and hades dance, she was holding his suspender aw.
- in way down hadestown after orpheus and eurydice were lying down, reeve’s hair was sticking straight up and eva started laughing.
- in road to hell, when hades and persephone are playing the game, amber went to go and patrick was like ??? it’s my move and they were both grinning.

persephone is our lady of the underground, hades is king of the underworld, eurydice is a hungry young girl, orpheus is a poor boy, and hermes is as if every single one of the fab five were combined into one person

We’re gonna sing it again
Act two! For those who stuck around! Thanks friends!
Alright so Persephone comes out on Hermes arm and my god the POWER that radiates off these two individuals it’s truly unmatched.
Something I didn’t know what that “our lady of the underground” is performed with only Amber Grey and Andre de Shields in the stage. She is singing directly to the audience folks and I gotta tell you I’m here for it. At one point she thrust the microphone toward us exasperated like “I am asking what my name is and I expect a response” it was amazing
Alright so when the soothsayer in something rotten says “lumber legged ladies thrill ya til ya swoon” he was talking about Amber Grey, he dancing in this show is unmatched. She saunters and struts around and then will just randomly kick her face!? Like casually whip her leg up into the air like a rocket te? She’s a magical musical theater witch and I’m obsessed with her
We get Way Down Hadestown reprise and the fates are back on their bullshirt. Eurydice trues to make friends (which goes a little against her “I only look out for myself” attitude until you remember that I guess she opened up more with Orpheus) the fates tell her she can’t because no one remembers anything. Everyone except Eurydice is wearing these like leather hats? Like almost like swim caps but leather and they’re very cool. Eurydice sings “flowers” and it’s heartbreaking as you watch her forget and call out it Orpheus even though she can’t remember his name.
All of a sudden you HEAR HIM? But you can’t see him because HE ENTERS THROUGH THR AUDIENCE?! Folks one thing to know about me is I LIVE for audience entrances. Things like that make me smile. I audibly gasped in the theater. So he enters and climbs on stage guitar in hand. They embrace and it’s all very sweet, there’s a fun joke about “no I walked” it’s a good laugh. Orpheus with his big eyes is like “I charmed the walls and they let me in” (remember when the walls expanded in Wait for me? ITS COMING BACK I LOVE STUFF LIKE THIS) “and they’ll let us go home” and Eurydice is like no they won’t because...
Hades enters! It’s glorious, he stands utop a platform and berates the two of them. The Fates come in and whisk Eurydice away (looking like wind, as you do) and then papers instrumental happens and the workers beat Orpheus up?! There’s fake blood and scabs and everything. It’s one of the jazziest fights you’ll ever see!
Orpheus has his moment of doubt, he ends up rallying the workers into following him. It’s staged very well and they all end up on the trap door and slowly rise up then sink into the floor which leads into How long! Which I personally slept on, however seeing it live has changed my tune. The staging is such that Persophone and Hades are always opposite the hole in the middle of the stage and it’s glorious.
Chant reprise baby! All of the turntables are turning. Persephone and Hades match each other pace on opposite sides of Orpheus, the workers finally remove their leather caps. Hades has a fantastic authority strut. To get everyone’s attention he blows a factory whistle. It’s a lot of stuff but it’s very exciting
Oof Epic three. It makes hades feel things, it makes the audience feel things. Persephone and hades are across the stage from one another and Hades moves to stop Orpheus and Persephone holds up a finger and tells him to stop. The EMOTION it’s such a touching scene. The two of them just observe one another. When hades joins in on the “la la las” Persephone fully breaks down. She does this like nodding at him through tears that’s one of the most tender moments in the show.
And then they dance. And you almost want to dance with them.
So Eurydice and Orpheus think they can go home. The workers think they’ll be able to follow. Everything me has a brief moment of happiness. Even Hades seems convinced, for a brief moment. Then we see his need for power trump his love of his wife, the Fates come in and mess with him a little more. It’s spooky, Patrick Page does a vv good job
Hermes comes to deliver the news, the two can leave but Orpheus must walk in front. They begin walking, it’s a pretty hopeful start. Persephone and Hades promise to wait for one another, Hades says it’s almost spring! Which is cool because up until that point everyone’s been talking about how spring doesn’t come anymore. Eurydice belts her face off, then Doubt comes in
Alright y’all, this is where I would argue that the fates are the true antagonists of this show. Antagónicos in the sense where they bug every character. They follow Eurydice like the wind, they tease Persephone when she has to return to Hadestown, they make Hades feel insecure about letting the lovers go, and finally they make Orpheus doubt if he capable of leading Eurydice home. They’re a dope unit of character and I really enjoy them.
Oof the ending, I didn’t know Orpheus was TWO STEPS AWAY!! Eurydice sees the world above, she sees it. Only for him to turn away, it’s heartbreaking and I really didn’t enjoy.
Hermes ends the show with a sad “aight” everyone comes back in, Eurydice is back from the cold Orpheus is back seeing her for the first time. Persephone is coming up for summer. Life goes on. Hurt and healing and heartbreak occur, but we sing the song anyway, hoping that it’ll turn out differently this time.
I’m not gonna talk about the curtain call, the song is glorious, Andre De Shields toasted someone’s plastic water bottle. It was fantastic.
So all in all this show is a marvel. I’m still not over the walls expanding. You guys I recognize tickets are expensive, so I hope I’ve done the show justice here. I’m gonna include a link to someone else’s summary that did a bit more plot stuff because I also think that’s good. Theater should be accessible and I hope these help a little
Here’s this persons summary https://lumiereswig.tumblr.com/post/183830158690/hey-all-so-i-just-saw-hadestown-and-feel-duty

I am so mad at myself for finding Mr. Capitalist Hades hot but I do. I am a weak beech when it comes to voices and his was disarming from the beginning. Damn
