I'm really hoping this is true because it's the closest I'll get to seeing it. I really also hope this is a trend in theater. I know that the money is in the ticket sales but I really, really want to have some of this more accessible due to not living close enough to NYC to travel regularly and there are so many good shows and so little time. I'm excited for a lot of the cast, personally. I've been a fan of Reeve even since the Spider-Man musical. He was Dorian Gray on Penny Dreadful as well and his entire family is incredibly talented. I've seen Patrick Page on Broadway as Lumiere as he had a long run on Broadway and the mic crackle and as a young actor at the time, it just left an amazing impression on me at the time and his relationship with his wife on social media (Paige Davis from Trading Spaces) is amazing.
Same! I think it's such a shame that more shows aren't professionally filmed. It would allow so many people who can't see these shows in person to share in that magic. It also saves these shows from obscurity. What I would give for a professionally filmed version of The Great Comet.
I understand why they might not want to record it, but this masterpiece deserves to be seen by more people and preserved. I will almost definitely never be able to see a bit of the visual majesty of the show (beyond promo material) unless it's recorded
I reckon the dead give away that it's a pro-shot run is that the official Hadestown social accounts are liking almost all comments of excitement on their announcement post BUT the ones that mention a pro-shot.
Hope we get the pro shot asap if it happens. I'm from Australia so I can't wait to see our production early next year. Just hate how many pro shots are in the back burner just waiting to be distributed.
If I had a nickel for every time Patrick Page played a billionaire type antagonist and kidnapped Reeve Carney’s girlfriend I’d have two nickels Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Oh wow, would love to try and see this, and yet will be sad to know I won't see Melanie La Barrie again. So glad to have her live recording. Hades town truly did become my next obsession.
I’ve been twice this year (most recently this Sunday just gone), and managed to miss Melanie both times, which is a shame. On the plus side, I did really like Waylon Jacobs’ Hermes, especially the second time once I was familiar with the material. But I do wish I’d got to see her in the role, I LOVED her on the album.
Aww thats a shame, its rough when you want to see someone, especially if you only have limited opportunity to visit. I'm ready to have another take though!
Wow!!! I wish I was in London. Hadestown is my favorite show, and these five cast members are spectacular!! I agree with you, as far as Amber being the one, I would be most excited to see again. She truly is Persephone. I didn’t realize that Reeve wasn’t nominated. He was made for that role!! I also had the pleasure of meeting him backstage, after one of the Broadway performances.
A pro shot would be an instant purchase for me, omg. I love when shows get the professional film treatment (for me it allows more people to experience the show) and Hadestown deserves it.
I won't be able to see it in person, but hopefully the proshot gets put on a streaming service, and if they release it on DVD/Blu-ray I'll be buying it so fast.
I hope its true they are doing a pro-shot. I listen to the soundtrack all the time and this would be the only way I would be able to see the original cast. Im so excited for those who get to see the show.
It will be an early morning for me in the States, but I’m determined to get tickets! I’ve seen it with the original cast, except for Patrick Page in 2021. The American tour in 2023 and recently a High School Teen Edition (so cute!). We just decided to head to London for Valentine’s Day (Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me,)! Truly, that's the FATES! And, we also have tickets to see Cabaret with Billy Porter! 2025 is going to be amazing if we can make this happen!
OMG I had no idea Billy was going to London to play the Emcee in Cabaret! I lucked out getting a Hadestown ticket, I'm going to get a Cabaret ticket too! Thank you for sharing!
@@vanessafrey886 - Congratulations on the Hadestown ticket and yay on Cabaret! We were 8238 in the queue. 3 hours and 42 minutes later we were ticket holders! It's going to be an amazing trip So grateful!
I am a hadestown fan who missed the OBC and is considering going to london for the first time to see this. I would super appreciate a video on this channel explaining what else in london is worth seeing right now.
I've just come back from London (a trip primarily to see Hadestown again)... I would highly recommend the Benjamin Button musical and if you can get tickets Great Comet down at the Donmar!
It sold out during the presale within hours! Luckily managed to get tickets but it was a difficult process. I saw Patrick Page post something about trying to sort something out for those who were disappointed. Dónal Finn set the bar so high for Orpheus, for me, literally changed my brain chemistry so I am apprehensive about Reeve but I’ve seen a lot of people talk about Eve and Reeve together being an incredible experience so I cannot wait ❤🌹 I love the various accents in our UK cast so that will also be a big adjustment back to the Americans 😂❤
I have recently found this channel, and I can't thank you enough for delivering this news. This video was the only reason I signed up for presales and got myself a ticket🎉
I was fortunate enough to catch the show on Broadway just before Carney left. Such an amazing performance to see in person. Wish I could have seen the rest of the original cast.
I am so excited to see these guys - it’s the entire cast, it’s magic! But amber and Eva I’d be quaking in my boots to see - the vocals! The vocals, girls!!!
Not to take away from all the beautiful castings there have been, but with the OG cast being there when the show was still being adjusted and refined they all brought something fundamental to its creation, being Orpheus' naivety, Eurydice's strenght, Persephone's chaotic energy, Hermes' role as a mentor and Hades' comedic timings (they didn't expect the audience to laugh at Orpheus' during Epic lll after the "Oh it's about me" but that's how Patrick's insane stage presence goes). I've read Anaïs Mitchell's book about the creation of Hadestown and all of this is in it, truly an inspiring, beautiful reading
I need this as a proshot. While I saw the Proctor’s (US) version which was great, I still wanted to see the original or any Broadway performance of it, but it is too expensive. A proshot would be a great way to access it.
I'm still thinking about getting tickets because I dream this cast album and I would love to see them live. But it's also quite an investment as I'm Dutch and I also have tickets for the Amsterdam version of Hadestown. But I'll be checking the prices tomorrow!
Supposedly there was also a filmed version of the show in NYC, I was in a program run by previous Hermes, T Oliver Reid and in the program, he said we would be watching this unreleased pro shot if workshops on the itinerary fell through.
I saw Hadestown on Bway in Aug 2022 & loved it. Some of the orig cast were still in it at that time: Carney, Noblezada & Page - who has the most extraordinary voice I've ever heard. I was disappointed to have missed DeShields (though his replacement was excellent) simply cause I had never seen the legend on stage before ... at that point - I finally got the chance this past Summer i P.S. ‘Modern Family’ alum Sarah Hyland joins ‘The Great Gatsby’ on Broadway. I guess she can sing, cause I think she was in Little Shop off-Bway.
@@RaymondNYC1 yes she's great! I wasn't sure if she'd be any good (seems we all carry an innate bias against TV stars to "prove themselves" in other mediums of entertainment.) But I had a chance to watch some videos of her performing musical theatre songs.She did some insanely complex modern musical theatre singing - definitely not my favorite kind, in general. I find its insistence upon avoiding hummable melodies to be annoying and I have limited patience for what feels like endless sung dialogue. If nothing else, though, she acquitted herself incredibly well from a technical standpoint in handling the often VERY demanding nature of contemporary musical theatre singing. The note patterns, the odd phrasing, the counter-intuitive (to the singer) storytelling nature of the singing ... she did all of it quite well. It's clear she is more than the real deal when it comes to being a singing actor. I'm thrilled she is getting the opportunity to showcase her talent!
Hades in the Proctor’s performance I saw was amazing. He was the best part of the show. My friend and my mom were (i kid you not) hypnotized by his voice. My mom told me over and over that she never heard a voice like is and actually preferred his over the original. We looked it up when we got home.
Wait, are shows at the national, not eligible for Oliviers? Does that mean Here We Are won't be nominated for best new musical/best score/best book/etc. for the original run? Could you possibly do a video explaining the relation of the Oliviers to the London Theatre scene?
They are, it's complicated. If they weren't eligible the Lyric run would have been. It's more that they get forgotten / the National only have the capacity to campaign for a small selection of their various productions.
@@MickeyJoTheatre I actually had one other question. How come shows can get revived multiple times really close to eachother on the West End. By example, I remember that Follies was revived in the 2010s and then it was very popular and was brought back a couple years later. Is this a common occurance? How was this possible?
I managed to get my ticket for Feb 22nd Matinee around 12.45 this morning. I have now seen that tomorrows public booking has been stopped because of the complete sell out of the run.
I was thinking about getting tickets for Hadestown in the West End in January or February a few months back, but it was simply too expensive and complicated and I therefore got tickets for the run of the show in Amsterdam in the summer. For the OBC I would reconsider, but as I missed the pre-sell window I'm sure it’s even more expensive and complicated now… But a pro-shot would be so awesome.
I got to see Hadestown live on Broadway and it is now my favorite musical. If there's a proshot, I will shove my money down someone's throat to get my hands on a Blu-Ray
It's gonna be so cool to hear the cast singing the revised lyrics to some of the songs! :D I still prefer the original ending verse to Epic III (i prefer the earlier versions of the song overall tbh), but I feel like hearing Reeve sing it (IF we get a proshot) will do it for me, and make me love it. 💚💚💚
I've literally just caught up with your cast recording reaction, and this popped up! I can't imagine any reason other than filming it - it's going to be an expensive endeavour, as you say it's not prime London tourist season! Not gonna be an appealing vacation for the performers.
I’m beyond stoked for this. I saw the entire original cast perform and they were wonderful. Reeve honestly had a lot of voice cracks, which was disappointing, but it was shortly before he left the show and I imagine it was starting to take a toll. That’s not an easy part to sing. I hope Melanie La Barrie still plays Hermes. She’s amazing.
@ nooooo that breaks my heart!! I was fortunate enough to see her here in &Juliet and just fell in love with her. Gorgeous voice and such acting! I would have loved seeing her in this role.
We made it to NYC to see Hadestown in fall of 2022. Amber Gray and Andre DeShields had already left (but Jewelle Blackman was great and Lilias White was unforgettable!) so we missed out on seeing the original 5. But unfortunately both Eva and Reeve were out that Saturday Night! I did enjoy the performance of the Orpheus replacement, but was quite underwhelmed with the Euridice understudy. So the only OBC performer we saw was Patrick Page. It's worth it just for him, but we were a little disappointed at the time. Id love a trip just to see them all together but i doubt we could make it that time of year.
I’ve just booked to go see the current cast before they go and don’t live in London so probably won’t go to all the expense of booking another trip just for the original cast so hope a pro shoot does happen even if it takes years to drop.
I was actually upset bc I JUST saw the West End version and was looking forward to checking out the Broadway version while I was back in the States, so it felt like a cruel twist of fate that the OBC would evade me like that. HOWEVER if we are getting a proshot out of this all is forgiven and I will indeed be shelling out everything I've got for a copy. Maybe even get it in movie theatres??
Oh, my word… Fun fact: I’m going to London early January with some friends and had already booked tickets for Hadestown. I had to watch it again, I fell in love with this show when I finally got to see it early this year. But now I really want to be able to watch this new version with the original cast. Where am I, with a Portuguese living wage, going to be able to get the money for more airplane tickets and hotel stays??? 😂😂😂😂
I’m going to London early January from the states and seeing Hadestown then too! Lol also wondering who’s going to sponsor me to just stay until February 😂
I've only been able to see Hadestown once, and I saw it when all of the OG Broadway cast were still there except Amber Heard. My friend who when with me and I just missed her. :( But it was still a transcendant experience. I would love to be able to see the show again some day.
I got to see Patrick Page’s most recent show and it was amazing! The way he conducted it as a mix of performance and something like a college lecture was so cool.
Surely the Equity swap would be the five Hadestown actors coming to the UK, and the five Mincemeat actors going to Broadway? 5 in, 5 out- surely that just works right?
wish they filmed the proshot of Anything Goes revival on broadway instead of london. these proshots in london with london may help those actors and actresses for american casting.
Really hope that by doing a proshot they are getting ahead of anyone trying to do a movie adaptation of Hadestown. Because I think Hadestown is a show that truly works the best in the theater and I don't want to see them try to make a movie of it (and ruin it).
If you’d have told 17 year old Lizzie that she would get to see Amber Gray’s Persephone she never would’ve believed you 😭 So excited to see this, especially Amber and Patrick!!!
Wait a minute... 5 US performers for 5 UK performers? At the same time as Operation Mincemeat is going to Broadway? With its 5 original UK cast members??
I traveled from Germany to London in May to see Hadestown, cause i got weirdly obsessed with it. I am really close to just get a ticket and come again...
Hope they paid the original broadway cast millions of dollars for this reunion proshot. i guess they found it cheaper to film the proshot in london, which is sad.
I love Hadestown! I was fortunate enough to see all the original cast for Hadestown. Everyone was amazing. The pure star power of Andre De Sheilds was stunning. Eva Noblezada was great. Amber Gray was a complete revelation--absolute perfection. I've yet to see a better Hades; Patrick Page was powerful. A genuine deep bass is such a unique experience. Reeve Carney was okay; he started doing a really annoying and absurd performance later in the run. he went from okay to horrible.
I have long been an admirer of Andre de Shields (and I've listened to the cast album) - yes, as you said, an icon. But having seen Hadestown twice now in the West End, there is something quite powerful about the character of Hermes being a female/non-binary character. It's easier to accept Hermes as an 'engineer' of Eurydice's story; there's something that makes me uncomfortable about a man controlling the overall telling/re-telling of the story.
I would kill to see this as the WE version was such a huge disappointment to me with the two young leads. Once you’ve heard Eva, it’s tough with anyone else. She is perfect and their chemistry is amazing
Sorry but them going to England to film a pro shot when they could easily do it in America makes little to no sense unless they advertise it to get more ticket sales
I cannot believe this. Im already seeing it twice in Amsterdam this summer. And now there may be a chance to see it with the OG cast?? 🥹🥹 i need to get my hands on those tickets!
That opening joke, my GODS. 😂
BA DUM TISS

I've only been able to see Hadestown once, and I saw it when all of the OG Broadway cast were still there except Amber Heard. My friend who when with me and I just missed her. :( But it was still a transcendant experience. I would love to be able to see the show again some day.
Can’t wait so happy I got tickets 🎉
On the performers swap - could that be the 5 operation mincemeat cast??
I have received the email regarding my signed up alert. So I am able to book on Friday.
If you signed up to the newsletter you will be getting a pre-sale link tomorrow and not Friday, just fyi :) don’t want you to miss it.
@@Hobbitforever I have re-read the email since the post. So thank you for the heads up
I got to see Patrick Page’s most recent show and it was amazing! The way he conducted it as a mix of performance and something like a college lecture was so cool.
Ok bring back our tall worker Tim Hughes! 😂
Surely the Equity swap would be the five Hadestown actors coming to the UK, and the five Mincemeat actors going to Broadway? 5 in, 5 out- surely that just works right?
That is in fact a brilliant explanation that didn't occur to me in the moment!
Hadestown is a lot more of a prestigious critical darling I think it’ll be picked up a little easier than SIX
I hope this is true -- I saw the US tour cast, but I'd love to see the originals.
wish they filmed the proshot of Anything Goes revival on broadway instead of london. these proshots in london with london may help those actors and actresses for american casting.
Really hope that by doing a proshot they are getting ahead of anyone trying to do a movie adaptation of Hadestown. Because I think Hadestown is a show that truly works the best in the theater and I don't want to see them try to make a movie of it (and ruin it).
If you’d have told 17 year old Lizzie that she would get to see Amber Gray’s Persephone she never would’ve believed you 😭 So excited to see this, especially Amber and Patrick!!!
Wait a minute... 5 US performers for 5 UK performers? At the same time as Operation Mincemeat is going to Broadway? With its 5 original UK cast members??
Oh yeah that makes more sense 😅
They should trade apartments/flats
My big question is still, WHERE THE HECK IS THE MERRILY PRO SHOT AND WILL WE EVER SEE IT!? 😭
I traveled from Germany to London in May to see Hadestown, cause i got weirdly obsessed with it. I am really close to just get a ticket and come again...
SCREAMING oh my god
AMBER GRAY... 😭
The press move quick. MickeyJo moves quicker. I have visions of you reading the news and dive bombing for your camera
I WAS IN THE SHOWER! 😂 Did move very quickly afterwards though
“Don’t get too excited” lol, too late!
Lucky you!
My bank account is about to suffer
Could it be that they just use the old promo recordings they used for marketing clips?
Hope they paid the original broadway cast millions of dollars for this reunion proshot. i guess they found it cheaper to film the proshot in london, which is sad.
I love Hadestown! I was fortunate enough to see all the original cast for Hadestown. Everyone was amazing. The pure star power of Andre De Sheilds was stunning. Eva Noblezada was great. Amber Gray was a complete revelation--absolute perfection. I've yet to see a better Hades; Patrick Page was powerful. A genuine deep bass is such a unique experience. Reeve Carney was okay; he started doing a really annoying and absurd performance later in the run. he went from okay to horrible.
I have long been an admirer of Andre de Shields (and I've listened to the cast album) - yes, as you said, an icon. But having seen Hadestown twice now in the West End, there is something quite powerful about the character of Hermes being a female/non-binary character. It's easier to accept Hermes as an 'engineer' of Eurydice's story; there's something that makes me uncomfortable about a man controlling the overall telling/re-telling of the story.
Some ensemble and fates will be staying some will be leaving I hope Allie stays to be in the pro shot
I would kill to see this as the WE version was such a huge disappointment to me with the two young leads. Once you’ve heard Eva, it’s tough with anyone else. She is perfect and their chemistry is amazing
Wishing In The Heights can do this. Hadestown not one of my favorite musicals.
I might be the only person in the world who is very MEH about Hadestown
Sorry but them going to England to film a pro shot when they could easily do it in America makes little to no sense unless they advertise it to get more ticket sales
I believe proshots are cheaper to shoot over in the UK than America
It's WILDLY cheaper to film in London.
I cannot believe this. Im already seeing it twice in Amsterdam this summer. And now there may be a chance to see it with the OG cast?? 🥹🥹 i need to get my hands on those tickets!
