i’ve been obsessed with hadestown for years now and finally got to see it yesterday on the west end, so here is a non-exhaustive, mostly in order list of things i loved:

- hermes ‘aiiiight’ ing the audience at the start

- the fates looking offended when hermes says they’re all dressed the same

- orpheus getting distracted and forgetting to greet the audience as he’s introduced

- irish orpheus and midlands eurydice healed something in me

- the fates all the time always, actually

- persephone and eurydice’s little moment of connection as persephone tells her to take what she can and make the most of it

- the trombonist dancing with the chorus during his solo

- orpheus and the cast looking out to the audience in a beat of silence as they toast the world we live in now

- everybody collectively gagging at the wine

- eurydice pushing orpheus right across the stage as she sings how she wants to hold him tight

- orpheus swooping in and popping up like a meerkat between hades and eurydice when she draws his attention

- hades putting on his dark glasses in order to immediately take them off at eurydice in hey little songbird

- eurydice holding the coins/ticket to hell out to hermes twice during chips are down and hermes only taking them on the third time

- hermes and persephone flirting at the start of act 2

- persephone not sharing her hip flask and hermes acting all offended until she gives them some

- every reference to hermes’ gender is gone

- hermes

- melanie la barrie

- hades’ slutty little strut on the revolve

- the absolute raw grief and anger and desperation in if it’s true, dónal absolutely killed it

- hades dad dancing

- hades burying his face in persephone’s shoulder after they reconcile

- orpheus’ adorable delighted ‘yes!!’ after eurydice tells him he’s done it

- the chorus’s cute af reaction when orpheus ’proposes’ eurydice to walk home with him

- orpheus’ fidgety, reaching hands as he walks and doubts (devastating)

- the centre of the revolve dropping away the MOMENT orpheus turns, almost before he’s actually set eyes on her. she’s already gone

- orpheus’ voice break on eurydice’s name as she vanishes (DEVASTATING)

- orpheus just sobbing by the gaping hole where eurydice’s gone as the theatre is in total silence (SHOOT ME ALREADY)

- the stage being set in the last minutes to match how it was when the show began. we’re really going to sing it again, aren’t we. there’s nothing else to be done

also do NOT get me started on the set and lighting design bc holy shit you guys it was PHENOMENAL. i so want to see it again to look for all the little details i inevitably missed

Hadestown notes 9/3/24

EURYDICE PLACING THE COINS ON HER EYES DURING CHIPS ARE DOWN. SHE PUT THEM RIGHT ON HER EYES AND I WAS LIKE I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS-

Hades placing his head in his hands when Persephone leaves for the first time

Orpheus crawling in front of Eurydice and like popping up in front of her in way down when she said kinda makes you wonder how it feels it was actually hilarious

One of the fates laughing when Eurydice mentions shelter

Donals Orpheus is KILLING MEEEE HES SO PRETTY aND HIS VOICE GOD-

ITS LIKE THE GODS MADE HIM FOR THIS ROLE

Hermes looking very disappointed in hades during why we build the wall

Hades’s voice is so powerful, His build the wall was BOOMING

Wait for me. I cried. I’ve never cried at a show like this before there’s just no words

I forgot how long Eurydice and Orpheus make out during All I’ve ever known like they were going AT it 😭

Also the way they held each other in way down was sooo cute he was just always near her in some way or touching her

Persephone is the definition of l cute but will kill you (also I’m obsessed with her voice)

Lauren’s Persephone was definitely drunk as hell and Zack’s Hades was on coke for sure it was perfect

The fates HARMONIESSSS, it’s amazing how they have individuality but also just fit so well together

During Promises, Hades kept his head on persephone’s shoulder the entire time as they swayed, her hand rubbing his back in little circles

Orpheus going “YES” and throwing his hands up excitedly in promises

Hermes kissing persephone’s hand during the start of act two before she starts singing

Orpheus and Eurydice literally brimming with excitement when Hermes says they can be let go and their smiles slowly fading

Dónal’s pure anxiety in Doubt comes in, he was fidgeting so much, tripping, shaking, he was so scared.

Pretty much no gendered terms for Hermes (no ‘Mister Hermes’ etc, just Hermes)

Persephone RIPPING her hands away and groaning when hades says I don’t know

Orpheus came out from the bottom right box when he first appeared in act two, just crawled up on the stage like a true theatre kid

Lyric changes in Epic III! I don’t remember them but I got a recording

Orpheus absolutely sOBBING AFTER LOSING EURYDICE HE WAS ABOUT TO JUMP IN THAT PIT HE WAS SHAKING AND SOBBING

#was 100% sobbing #hadestown #dónal finn #madeline charlemagne #zachary james #melanie la barrie #lauren azania #hadestown west end #hades #Persephone #Eurydice #Orpheus #the fates #Hermes #hadestown UK

saw hadestown in london today. a lot of people are talking about the new verse in epic III but I’ve not seen anything about the change in if it’s true?? I’ve heard audio from the previews and the change hadn’t happened there, but now the last verse:

so I ask you // if it’s true what they say // I’ll be on my way // tell me what to do

has become:

so I ask you // brother look around today // is this how the world will stay? // there must be another way

and I am obsessed. we love a proactive orpheus. will post an audio asap

Chewing my arm off over Dónal Finn getting to keep his irish accent in Hadestown because I never heard an Irish accent in a musical before. He sounds like my grandad!! Like my friends!! He gets to be onstage and sound beautiful and keep his fucking accent!!!!!

#hadestown #hadestown west end #dónal finn #donal finn #orpheus #autocorrect wont let me write his name god dammit #and yes technically ive heard irish accents in lusicals before but literally only once in a musical #where they were getting paid #and that was in a tiny theatre in ireland!#ive never gotten to hear an irish accent in a big musical #it makes me so happy

After five years of adoring Hadestown, I had the privilege of seeing the West End Version of the show and I WOULD DIE FOR DÓNAL FINN'S ORPHEUS.

That man had me physically shaking with anxiety during Doubt Comes In. His Wait for Me bridge at the end of Act 1...I have NEVER been rendered unable to speak ever before. I was unable to breathe. No other media has impacted me this way before.

Also Dónal is such a sweetheart and got 110% more Irish when he asked at stage door were we were from and said Ireland.

I’ve not seen any slime tutorials of other Hadestown productions but BOY OH BOY does Dónal sob on the floor by the pit in the stage for SO LONG

All the while Hermes took their bloomin time with all of the “it’s a sad song” repeats

And he was just SOBBIN AND SOBBIN leaning over the pit

And then even when he came on at the end his face was all pink from crying I’m

okay listen i absolutely adore every single version of hadestown i've had the fortune to listen to, but this was the first time i actually got to SEE it and the ANGER in dónal finn's orpheus after he gets beat up really sold me on why his doubts creep in later - he is fully facing the world outside of hermes' wings for the first time and it is not kind to him and he feels completely alone and hopeless, of course that is going to creep back into him as doubt, as fear, as terror later when he believes himself to be alone again, of course he does get his hope beaten out of him - not all of it, but just enough that doubt comes in

#hadestown #hadestown west end #dónal finn #i dont think i phrased this very well but it made an impact #god live theatre really rips me open

Not the best quality given that I was in the Grand circle, sorry about that.
