me: *is happy they’re releasing more nytw clips !! :DD* also me: yoU’RE THREE YEARS LATE- i’m kidding, but it’s really nice seeing how much hadestown has evolved !! also just how the nytw production played out onstage (bc i think we’ve all been curious, since most of us never saw it irl)

And I always thought Damon was humming in the begining this whole time lol

Why is no one talking about Hermes’ face when Hades and Orpheus standoff!

I think the reason I love Chris so much as Hermes is because he just has that voice that suits the character far more than Andre.

@beefstroganoff1774

3 жыл бұрын

Yes. He makes Hermes more mischievous which is far more accurate to the god. Hermes was also a relatively young god (that point didn't bother me as much; Andrè being older, I mean), and Chris embodies him perfectly in my eyes.

@@psiamnotdrunk Subjective, yes, and you are right that God's aren't real, but we're talking about a production that depicts Gods as real life entities that interact with mortals. As such, one has to go and determine what comes off more God like and what would you consider to be a more imposing entity. To me, a God is a figure who demands respect, where everything they say, no matter how much you agree or disagree with it, holds weight to it where you would never even contemplate speaking up against them. They're figures who with a single word, causes fear in all who hear it. Andre never gave off that tone of mischief and intimidation and instead came off more frail, a voice that never held much weight to it and never sounded anywhere close to what a God like figure would sound.

T...T....Toby? He has been the voice of the soundtrack?! That's crazy cuz on "This is Us" he doesn't really sing! He sounds amazing! I still really like André as Hermes, but my God, Chris really adds something to this part. Like when he says "there ain't no compas, brother, there ain't no map..." he really sounds like your best buddy from the country. It is just different from André's griot/ " Rafiki style" of narrating the story.

Is that unpopular? Cause while I enjoy Andre’s energy at most points, his voice just isn’t there. I think Chris works better as Hermes, because in the original run he is much more connected to Orpheus, even if he may not have had as much time onstage with him. Plus his voice is much better both for Hermes and in general, which is probably a more controversial point.

Please release more footage from this production, especially featuring Damon Daunno!

Say what you will about the Broadway Show, this version was my first and will always hold a special place in my heart. Sullivan has an energy to his Hermes, who is meant to be one of the youngest Gods, that Andre exchanges for more of the traditional elder storyteller role.

Oh my god I've been waiting years for more from nytw

could this man be any more perfect????

i've heard his voice in the album... but seeing him I love it EVEN MORE!!!

I wonder if he would ever come back (Mr. Sullivan if you're somehow reading this please please come back and bless our ears once more)

Sullivan is insanely good in this role.

I miss them

I NEED TO SEE THIS PLEASE PLEASE

If anyone cares, I would pay really good money to see this whole performance on DVD. Or even in theatres. Or, how about both? $$$ #hadesnytw4dvdrelease

Original Hermes reminds me of like that crazy but fun uncle

Listened to many of your songs.. love this with raspy voice!

If they ever have to replace Andre, I hope hope HOPE they officially bring Chris on as Hermes!

For those who are looking - while I haven't seen video of this performance, an audio recording of this cast is available on Apple Music (and maybe others) - look for "Hadestown: The Myth. The Musical (Original Cast Recording) [Live[" It is very interesting to hear how some of the characters and lyrics have changed over time and how different actors portray them. (Hermes being the most obvious change.)

honestly i think i prefer chris to andre :0 i love andre but he carries a very specific grace and dignity that makes him feel kind of like a swan on-stage? it feels super different to the energy and heart chris brings (which feels more important with the swing and jazz of the show) which to me makes chris just feel like ... that bit more organic in comparison

I enjoy this version more than the Broadway version. Wish they would've kept it the same

So talented! So fun to see this!!!! I just love what he brings to Hermes!

I do not understand how I could miss the existance of this video for so long. Amazing.

PLEASE upload more clips!!! (esp Wait for Me)

Oh I love this!

#uploadtherestprettyplease

I FAINTED WHEN I SAW DAMON

Lillias White is fabulous and I hope she stays as Hermes for a long, long time, but when she finally decides it's time to hang up her silver shoes, I'd love for Chris Sullivan to reprise the role. This is SO good!

I LOVE THIS!!!! 💖

The S TIER HERMES

Coming back to this after Chris graciously sang a little bit of it for me last week after the final show of The Thanksgiving Play, and meeting Rachel Chavkin the same day. Seeing this video some years ago is the reason why I fell in love with Hadestown in the first place 🥹

Honestly I like both Chris Sullivan and Andre de shields as hermes, but I think they fit different songs better, I think andre fits this song better, but chris fits wait for me better, that's how I'm thinking about this

If you care about your songbird fans at all you will upload more from nytw. Please! I didn't know I needed this so badly until now.

HOW DID I NOT CONNECT UNTIL NOW THAT THIS IS THE SAME GUY FROM THIS IS US. How did I not know he could sing like this?!?!?
