🌟CASTING MY MUTUALS IN HADESTOWN!🌟
Why? Because I feel like it! 😂
Orpheus:
Sequoia (@flowers-floating-in-space, top)
Songbird (@deadboywalking227, middle)
Eden (@songboylyric, bottom)
Nicholas Barasch as Orpheus in the picture. (National Tour)
Reasons for Hibiscus: You give me those ethereal flowery vibes that Orpheus has! /pos
Reasons for Serenade: One of your names is literally Songbird. Nuff said. (Though admittedly the songbird is technically Eurydice in the show, the HT Instagram sometimes refers to Orpheus as a songbird.)
Reasons for Eden: I don't know, you just give me Orpheus vibes- /pos
Eurydice:
Mischa (@that-f-cked-up-bitch, top)
Natalia (@nats-comet, middle)
Ivory (@https-envy, bottom)
Amaya Braganza as Eurydice in the picture. (National Tour)
Reasons for Sydney: I just know you'd be a great Eurydice. How? I don't know! but I do XD
Reasons for Natalia: You have no idea how badly I need a Talia-ified version of "Flowers" and/or "All I've Ever Known". I just know you'd kill it /pos
Reasons for Ivory: You vaguely remind me of her and also I think you'd play up the scrappy/somewhat chaotic aspect of Eurydice's character in a super fun way.
Hermes:
Vellichor (@p-3-t-r-1-ch-0-r)
André de Shields as Hermes in the picture. (Broadway)
Reasons: You are the cryptid, British, and affectionately bloodthirsty (/pos) Hermes that the world needs!
Persephone:
Zeep (@ziipzeepzop-eez)
Jewelle Blackman as Persephone in the picture. (Broadway)
Reasons: You're both altos, and both of you have motherly/wine aunt energy! That's reason enough XD (when a zeep-ified version of "our lady of the underground" is brought into the world, i can die happy)
Hades:
Cipher (@cipher-of-the-round-table)
Phillip Boykin as Hades in the picture. (Broadway)
Reasons: You just give me Hades vibes! I dunno!
The Fates:
Starling (@word-to-the-wise, left)
Charolette (@meowydoe, middle)
Satanic (@satanic-witchcraft, right)
Dominique Kempf, Nyla Watson and Belén Moyano as The Fates in the picture. (National Tour)
Reasons for Piper: I feel like you'd have an absolute blast during When the Chips Are Down. Also a pink-haired Fate? Yes please!!
Reasons for Ginger: You'd be the most fun devious Fate ever (you'd be the one who's always waving at eurydice)
Reasons for Satanic: Satanic-ified version of "Nothing Changes"? Hell. Yes.

Day 15 of Sirentober / Doctober
Orpheus / Wait
I was originally going to draw the off-broadway Hadestown Orpheus and Eurydice but just like the doubt, the brainrot came in and demanded I draw the lawyers
AND SO I ENDED UP DOING A DOODLE PAGE HEHE
I’ve only ever listened to the off-broadway and the original concept album bc my sister got me into Hadestown back in like 2018
There’s so many lines where I’m just like “!!!! THAT WORKS SO WELLLLL” like fr?? I have many many thoughts
For the fates, I couldn’t decide between Dahlia or Iris, but I ended up going with Dahlia
ALSO THE TOP OF MILES’S SHIRT AND HIS SKIRT BEING THE CRAVAT 🤭🤭🤭
AND GODOT TELLING PHOENIX HE CAME BACK FROM HELL TO FIGHT HIM SO HIM BEING THE KING OF THE UNDERWORLD HEHEHEHEH
AND THE NEON LIGHTS WOULD BE LIKE HIS MASK AND AND AND
Sorry I have many thoughts :))

I actually don't know what you'd title this but this post probably would serve as an explanation! Uhhh, enjoy!
First off, we've got quite a few names here, so let's go through name key!:
Endermes (@ender-outlaw as Hermes)
Silmes (@soursileu as Hermes)
Vellmes (@allergic-to-four-leaf-clovers as Hermes)
Amores (@amorvincitomnia-14 as Hermes) (hey knock knock guess what you're Hermes now :D)
Atpheus (@literatureisdying as Orpheus)
Finchpheus (@flowers-floating-in-space as Orpheus)
Euryauden (@tellme-o-muse as Eurydice)
Eurysyd (@sydneyofalltrades as Eurydice)
Perzeephone (@ziipzeepzop-eez as Persephone)
Finades (me as Hades!)
Ok, it's "The Actual Point Of The Post" time!:
Endermes is having a BALL during Road to Hell.
Vellmes' RTH in one word: Spins. So many spins.
Segue brought to you by Daisy's (@meowydoe) Fate being The Fate That Waves At Eurydice During Any Way The Wind Blows & Hey, Little Songbird™
Amores, during the section about Orpheus in Any Way The Wind Blows: "I love this child so fucking much you don't understand-"
During Come Home With Me: Hermes: "You wanna talk to her-" Atpheus, no hesitation: "YES."
Eurysyd is fucking FLABBERGASTED during Come Home With Me.
Sequoia, I wholeheartedly believe that you would straight up start glowing at some points. The "The Song™" section of Wedding Song is one of those times. /pos
Endermes draws out the "old song" in Epic I. ("It's an ooooooold song")
Perzeephone is booping ALL THE NOSES in Living It Up On Top.
Silmes loudly exclaims "Oh SHIT-" after tasting the wine after Orpheus' toast in Living It Up.
Euryauden + Atpheus: Gayest All I've Ever Known Of All Time
Comedically grumpy all throughout Way Down Hadestown.
Atpheus fucking LEAPS in front of Euryauden when Finades notices Euryauden in WDH.
Segue brought to you by The Fates (Josie (@/meowydoe), Satanic (@satanic-witchcraft), and Annabeth (@two-minute-notice)) having a great time during When the Chips Are Down.
Eurysyd has the saddest "Gone, I'm Gone" ever /pos
Silmes is PISSED at Orpheus during Wait For Me Intro.
Atpheus does the vibrato on "WAAAIT" that Reeve Carney did on his last performance in Wait For Me. I just get that feeling. /pos
Wait For Me, aka Finch Starts Fucking Glowing Moment #2. /pos
Slooowwly turns head to look at Finades when she sees Eurydice in Hadestown during Why We Build The Wall, like, "oh no you did NOT"
"....anybodywantadrink?"
During "Our Lady of the Underground": *Lowest, most gravelly voice imaginable* I don't know about you, BOOOYSSS!
Lots and lots and LOTS of twirls during OLOTU.
During Way Down Hadestown (Reprise): "I did what I had to do." "Yeah sure whatever."
Vellmes, with a "it's not all bad"-like voice: "What she was instead was dead....dead to the world anyway!" You're only dead to the world, it's not alllll bad!
Yet another segue to appreciate how fucking amazing Eurysyd's "Flowers" cover is. Please give it a listen.
During Come Home With Me Reprise: Euryauden: "I called your name before-" Atpheus: "I know!" "You heard-" "NO-"
During Papers: Orpheus: "I'm not going back alone. I came to take her home-" Finades: W H E E Z E
Segue brought to you by the most melancholic "Nothing Changes" ever. /pos
During If It's True, Atpheus is fucking PISSED. Screams out "is this how the world is??" like Dónal Finn (west end Orpheus actor)
Finchpheus is less pissed and more heartbroken. We can throw in a voice crack on "is this how the world is?" for good measure.
Scream out "I believe that THEY ARE FEW!" during If It's True like all the tour Orpheus actors.
During How Long: Perzeephone: "What are you afraid of?" Finades, genuinely confused: "...what?"
Perzeephone: "He loves that girl, Hades!" Finades, who genuinely couldn't care less: ..well that's too bad!
"What's that noise...?" during Chant Reprise is played for laughs like in the Broadway previews boot.
We can reinsert Persephone's verse in Chant Reprise. You know, for funsies!
We're doing NYTW Epic III too. Screw the Broadway version.
Epic III, aka Finch Starts Fucking Glowing Moment #3. /pos
Finades + Perzeephone: Dorkiest Lovers Desire/They Danced Of All Time.
Amores keeps giving Finades the "don't you fucking do it" glare during His Kiss, The Riot.
Silmes, during Wait For Me Reprise: "Don't you dare fuck this up, Orpheus--"
Everyone is crying when The Thing™ happens and after The Thing™ happens. Iykyk.
Vellmes knew it was coming but is still in disbelief.
Endermes is more confused than anything, even if she knew it was coming.
Silmes is trying not to appear effected, but still definitely cares and is effected, even if it knew it was coming.
Amormes is going THROUGH IT. Like, "visibly close to tears" going through it.
Perzeephone has the most poignant "We Raise Our Cups" because ofc she does. /pos
