Also my dudes, if you ever in London and you’re huge Hadestown nerds, you can visit National Theatre Archives and watch the proshot of London Hadestown from 2018 (for those who might not know, it’s similar to Broadway/tour/west end in terms of costume design but has different characterisation for orphedice in particular + different lyrics) with most of the OBC playing the roles.

The archives have 2 proshots, one from different angles and one from a wide angle, I watched a multiple angle one and it’s really great. Plus they have some other Hadestown stuff, you can see all of it in the archive catalogue. You can book the day to see it in the archive website and even watch it in group for free.

Also the people who work in the archives are super lovely and we accidentally run into one lady who works there and also is a huge Hadestown fan :3 Overall 10/10 would recommend!

#hadestown #hadestown london #hadestown uk #me being me #also you don’t need to have any research connected to theatre to see it unlike in NY #the pips in the archives will be happy to show you just because you’re interested #they also encourage peeps to check out their archive because they have a lot of recordings of other shows available as well :3

i got to see hadestown on the west end and all i have to say is AAAA. i liked the original broadway cast so much i didn't think anything else could compare to me, but omg they were all amazing and maybe it's a bias from seeing it live vs seeing broadway through recordings, but i actually enjoyed them so much more. i think what helped is i felt a lot more for donal's orpheus, whereas reeve's never managed to really put at my heartstrings.

okayokay what i have to list out loved (going to try and go through the show chronologically):

la barrie's hermes using no titles and they/them pronouns. the lyrics were changed to reflect this eg "excuse me, hermes" instead of "mister hermes" at the beginning of 'wait for me', and "feathers on their feet" instead of "feathers on his feet" in 'road to hell'.

the cast keeping their own accents. it's not often in uk theatre to hear british regional accents, even if the actor has or had that accent. so hearing a nothern accent from eurydice was aaaa. as a northerner it made me really happy. i'm not sure if that's grace's real accent or not but aa it just made .

donál keeping his irish accent too. and the chemistry between his orpheus and grace's eurydice was adorable.

hermes slowly kissing persephone hand during 'our lady of the underground'.

PERSEPHONE didn't think I could love anyone more than grey but omg. i've never loved "our lady of the underground" but I do now, the way gloria performed it and this one long belting note she did while bending over crazy far backwards aaa. and at one point while dancing she acted like she'd gone too hard and pulled her back and got stuck, but then very smoothly went into leaning down towards the audience and singing directly at people in the front rows.

wasn't 100% sold on hades at first since his voice isn't as deep as what I'm used too (used to listening to page as hades), but after "i conduct the electric city" and the lights went out and when they came back on there was a single silly spotlight on hades was stood leaning against the door checking his nails all sultry like. his acting was so different from what I'm used too, more energetic and more... playful? i'm not sure if that's the right word but i can't think of anything else. and less cold and stern than page but I ended up really enjoying him. i've got two very different versions of hades i love now.

new lyrics in epic three, "what has become of the heart of that man" has been replaced with new lyrics. i think "man with his arms outreached" has reverted back to pre-broadway "man with his hat in his hands" but i'll be honest me memory of what the new lyrics are is not great.

i cried when hades and persephone danced. both of them were crying. and when they finished dancing he sobbed and crumpled into her arms and she stroked his head and back and held him the whole time orpheus and eurydice sang "promises"

hades breaking it down during the dance, doing silly dance moves and making persphone laugh, and then she joins in and does his silly dance moves with him 10/10 people supporting their partners silly dance moves.

hades "i don't know" answer to if orpheus and eurydice can go... i'm used to patrick page's grave, defeated "i don't know" and here instead you could really see the inner conflict and he was holding hands with persephone and when he said it she angrily let go of his hand and he had his little "his kiss the riot" freak out.

orpheus and hades handshake during the wait for me reprise aaaa

Ladies & gentlemen, her.

The marquee was raised yesterday at the Lyric Theatre, London, & by coincidence, I happened to be in London. So, naturally, I had to pay a lil visit.

Since Reeve Carney is leaving Hadestown soon, from November 12th to 19th we're going to celebrate Orpheus Week in his honor!

Day 1, November 12th, "To the Sunshine and the Fruit of the Vine" (Edmonton): A day dedicated to the first, rural incarnation of Reeve's Orpheus in the Edmonton era of Hadestown

Day 2, November 13th, "Always had a Crowd" (London): A day dedicated to London's stylish rockstar incarnation of Reeve's Orpheus, who never walked alone

Day 3, November 14th, "Touched by the Gods" (Broadway): A day dedicated to the Broadway incarnation of Reeve's Orpheus, the sweet bartender who lives under Hermes's wing

Day 4, November 15th, "I Believe in Us Together" (Love/Relationships): A day dedicated to Orpheus's relationships in general, whether with Eurydice, Hermes, Persephone, the Workers, even an OC!

Day 5, November 16th, "If It's True what They Say" (Grief/Poverty): A day dedicated to Orpheus's circumstances and lowest points in his life

Day 6, November 17th, "Spring Will Come Again" (Nature/Environment): A day dedicated to Orpheus's love for and connection to Nature in general, and his environmentalism

Day 7, November 18th, "Working on a Song" (Music): A day dedicated to Orpheus's musical gifts and his writing/composing process!

Day 8, November 19th, "To Orpheus and All of Us" (Free Day): This is the day we bid Reeve's Orpheus goodbye, so feel free to contribute to the final toast with anything!

Just tag us (@reevepheusweek) and/or tag your work with #Orpheusweek and we'll reblog! (Or send us the link if it's an external work, like a fanfic in AO3 or a Youtube performance!) Submit your fanfics, fanarts, poetry, songs, anything for our beloved poor boy, whether new or old!

Spill a drop for Orpheus, wherever he is now...

Its not that deep

No I will read into hadestown as much as i like actually -

Orpheus being dressed similarly to the workers but never covering his white shirt, his purity like they do, he is the son of a muse and the son of a man, he is like them but he will never be one of them

Where the green grass grows

Our praise is not for them

I miss "I once sang the young man's blues" in Chant II/Chant Reprise so badddd <333 it's just so much funner to sing than "sang a song of love like you"

I also miss the whole "Lovers leave, brothers betray" bit from 2018 London. 🌺

@reevepheusweek Day Two: "Always had a Crowd"

Day 2 of the week and it's London time!!!! I've always had a soft spot for the 2018 London version of Hadestown, so this was very fun to do! Love my insufferable rockstar adjacent king

Donal Finn as Orpheus the boy who looks back. Donal Finn as Matrim Cauthorn the man who only looks forward. The Wheel weaves as The Wheel wills. It’s a sad song but we sing it anyway as if it might turn out this time. Ages come and pass until myth is forgotten. It’s a love song. The song was written long ago.

#hadestown #the wheel of time #donal finn #wot on prime #hadestown london #i’ve connected the dots #this is something #and the something will make sense to only a few
