GUYS THERE IS!!! IT'S A DIFFERENT VERSION BUT FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN THEY'VE ONLY MADE A FEW CHANGES!!! THERES THE RECORDING ON APPLE MUSIC AT LEAST GUYS IT EXISTS
Chant 1 got recommanded to me when I had watched an animatic of Way Down Hadestown and as soon as I heard Hades' voice I was like :"Ok ..I love this.I need moooore!"
Patricia Torralba Bold Prediction but it won’t sweep the Tonys The Prom is Serious competition as well as Aint To Proud And Beetlejuice I’m considering this a Solid Contender but it won’t win everything I am seeing it 5 Times Though On Broadway
Yeah, but I really hope they keep the original live album up on spotify. The new versions sound awesome but the old ones are also close to my heart and my character playlists
I just need to own both because I want to see what they’ve changed! I know Wait for Me had new lyrics, and I’m wondering what else they’ve added. But the original is still so perfect.
I love how Orpheus is the one who is unsure of himself, while Eurydice is so sure of what she wants. He's so head over heels in love with her that he's stunned and doesn't know how he got so lucky. His reaction to her bumping into him and her kissing him at the end made me cry tbh. It's one of the many small things that really shows that this musical was created by women.
Women's perspectives make it so much better. Also, if you've seen it, in All I've Ever Known he's so hesitant to touch her before she initiates any romance and its so sweet that he waits and their chemistry absolutely sells it
Guys… something doesn’t have to be made by women to be emotional and beautiful. Likewise, not everything created by women IS moving in that way. Saying that “that shows that this play was made by women” is a little slighting to men like me who also feel emotions and love Broadway
@@naesmitty3888 ............. les mis is an adaptation of a book, first of all. And was first staged on Broadway over 30 yrs ago. And of course there are a couple truly original works, but the past 5 or so years have been dominated by adaptations of modern popular media.

I'm so perplexed by these replies because 1) you both listed musicals that are FAMOUSLY based off of books and 2) I didnt say there weren't any new musicals that weren't based off of popular media. The point still stands that over the past few years we've gotten mean girls, pretty woman, king kong, spongebob, frozen, waitress, and beetlejuice. And that's not including jukebox musicals like the cher show. I like some (okay one) of these shows, but I'm glad to see an original show get some legs. Why is that controversial? Lol
@@mckenziemurphy421 you're right. I suppose i chose that wording because it was a lot snappier than saying "popular media," and because I was specifically thinking of king Kong, frozen, mean girls, and pretty women. I also don't view a reimagining of a Greek myth the same way I view a staging of a movie that came out within the last twenty years. Yes, hadestown is based off of greek mythology, but that source material is lose and ever-changing whereas many modern adaptations are glorified shot-for-shot remakes of movies. Not to mention the liberties this show takes with the mythology.
Ciara Ruane It’s so Hard I want the Prom cause it’s so Full Of Positive Vibes And it’s an actual “Original” Musical meaning it’s not based on a Movie or Book However Hadestown has had a Long Journey To make it to Broadway and it’s score is so Epic Not to mention It’s acting it’s so hard I want both to win But The Prom has such a Positive Message and the Cast is so energetic it deserves to win I want both to win Cause they both have fantastic scores and acting
Zack Stark well Hadestown has my vote for best musical - a story that isn’t happy go-lucky but tells the story that life isn’t easy and people make mistakes leading to sad stories but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. Plus it has one of best sounds to come to Broadway in a while. (An opinion not a fact - nearly every show that ends up on Broadway deserves their chance to shine RIP Groundhog Day)

Something amazing about this musical is that I've only listened to the soundtrack and I can just feel the passion. Just by the soundtrack, you know it deserved all the tonys.
@@nugget1044 I don't know, I LOVE Beetlejuice, but finally saw this the other night and the set design was AMAZING. I thought it was the best I've seen yet.
The soundtrack alone is so good at telling the story. You don't really need the visuals. Your mind plays it out. That's how a cast recording should be. Don't just give me the tunes, but tell me the story. That said...the visuals are so damn good! The design of this show is some of the best I've seen
Hélène Kuragina I wasn’t asking if it was them lol. More so just pleasantly surprised. I’m glad they’re both on Broadway again! I follow most of the GC cast and love to hear about their projects.
I've never watched or listened to this musical, but I swear to you I got the most primal urge to cry as soon as I heard Eurydice's voice. I have to listen to the entire soundtrack now. Update: oh god, it's so good..
list of things i wanna see 1. cher show (because i love sjb) 2. hadestown (i love greek myths, and this type of music) 3. beatlejuice (i like the movie and i heard it was good)
Saw this production a few weeks ago with the understudy playing Persephones , and it brought tears to my eyes. She did phenomenal, and so did the rest of the cast. I already knew the story of Eurydice and Orpheius, but seeing it transcend into such a beautiful, tragic tale was breathtaking. We toast one to these two !
Emily S I was it a few days ago. Soooo good. Jodie foster sat right beside me and literally every two seconds I looked at her and she would look at me like I was crazy lol
I wish I could see this ugh!!! Love yall so much, have had your soundtrack for over a year and listen to it at least 3 times a week 😭😭😭 much love and support!!
July 11-15th I return to broadway for the second time this year, and while I thought Be More Chill for a second time would be the highlight, it’s become clear to me this will be. I cannot fucking wait!
Just saw this show on Broadway. If someone offered me a ticket to Hadestown or Hamilton and I had to choose one, it’d easily be Hadestown. It was amazing!!!
See this musical. Just see it. I did April 17th and it was one of the most fantastic shows I have seen, sitting with the legends Hamilton and The Phantom of the Opera. Get tickets before the Tonys, I’m betting after it wins many of them-nominated for 14 out of 16-ticket prices will skyrocket. Awsome show. Awesome cast.
Saw this show a few weeks ago and it was incredible. Take a hat an a jumper though, the air con in the theatre made it uncomfortably cold where I was sat.

Finding the depths of Hadestown; to now the beloved cast of characters going on broadway, I’d be lying to say I’m not looking forward to it!
Finally a recent show with a Baritone/Bass lead! It feels like it’s been forever wow
Patrick Page isn't the lead. Reeve Carvey is
Reeve Carney is a countertenor, but Patrick Page is still fantastic in this.
I've never watched or listened to this musical, but I swear to you I got the most primal urge to cry as soon as I heard Eurydice's voice. I have to listen to the entire soundtrack now.

getting to see this front row was my favorite theatrical experience ive ever had
