I love how they change things up with every cast rather than trying to find people who look and sound similar to the original. It is fun to see everyone’s take on the characters.

Allie Daniel as the 3rd Fate is getting a lot of special mentions and deservedly so, but I’m truly obsessed with the way Bella Brown as the 1st Fate does the line “Who are you to lead them?” Not only does she sing it sublimely, there’s something about the way she looks at Orpheus that conveys pure malice. Gives me chills every time!

As a percussionist thanks for the appreciation ^^ we go noticed but completely unpraised too often

i once did a production with Grace... so happy that she is breaking through !!! She was always such a kind and pleasant girl and so incredibly talented !! Will never forget how wonderful it was to play alongside her ! I wish her all of the best and i am so so happy to see her doing such amazing things. She is so incredibly gifted

The bass in the ensemble just adds another layer of depth through the riffs that we never knew we needed.

Jesus I really want to see this show so bad 😭 it’s such a mastery of music and design

This diversity of talent springs tears into my eyes. What an amazing cast!

i have such a hard time liking different portrayals of hadestown than the live album, but this is genuinely mindblowing!! every single character was cast perfectly!!

I think what I love most about Hadestown in general is that the diversity while not a main „point“ in the plot still holds symbolical significance.

Hey, the Fates' part was really well done.

What an incredible Eurydice!! :O

Amazing. I’m obsessed with this eurydice!!! 🖤🙌

I really want to see this whole production

are you KIDDING?!? phenomenal

oh jeez they’re all so incredible

It has to be said, that this musical - unlike others - can change it's cast and it's accent - but at it's core it's a love story about two people who fight death and must come to terms with letting go - only to start again though they know the answer. It's a universal and eternal love story - and my heart breaks every time I watch it - the same way that every time I fall in love with them.

Hades is a beast he's like two heads taller then everyone on stage

THIS CAST!!! Chills. Literal chills.

Watched this cast while I was in London and I hope with everything I have we get a cast recording of them 😭😭 i love them so much

i’m actually sobbing i love this so much. also i love how in the cast there’s a visible disability and there’s a trans woman. you don’t see stuff like that so much, even in such a notably inclusive place like theater. also persephone is absolutely stunning and this new cast overall is incredible. i’ll literally swim across the atlantic ocean if i have to to watch this.

The fact that one of the chorus members, which is a heavier dance role, has a limb difference is amazing as a disabled woman who didn’t see a single visibly disabled person in musical theatre growing up. I remember openly sobbing as I watched Ali Stroker receive the Tony for Oklahoma since I knew it meant today’s disabled theater kids would be less likely to be told that no one want to see a disabled (insert character name) when they audition for a part.
