That very first Orpheus line *really* makes him sound like he doesn't feel so good, Mr. Hermes, he doesn't wanna go
Oh dear me thanks for the reminder of Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark. And I oop-
Mr Hermes, he doesn’t feel so sure
Alright listen here you fuck. ;-;
Lapis Sings I KNOW RIGHT
Shut up 😂😂😂 my heart is breaking as I’m laughing
Orpheus sounds so innocent when he says "Mr Hermes" I want to give him a hug
SAME.
I KNOW
Mr. Hermes, I dont feel so good
Orpheus deserves all the hugs in the world!
I all ways thought it was eurydice that opened it
He just sounds so desperate and innocent. Reeve Carney did fantastic work as Orpheus (which I expected).
Yes!! I love his Orpheus, and I cannot fathom why some people do not. He's so incredible live (and so sweet and dorky in person too, I was too hyper to remember most of my stage door experience but oh boy I sure do love him)
Lumina Pontmercy I also met him at the stage door. He seemed super sweet. I tried to remain professional while trying not to shake from excitement.
@@Zzzk23 Yes, I was quite out of it and I kinda blanked in front of him. I can't remember what I said to him, just that it was more than the generic "OH I love you, you were great" and hopefully nothing too creepy. But I did remember to get a picture with him! 66.media.tumblr.com/8b766269d13c6353e285642f1d580990/tumblr_pquxvuXkIZ1tui43so7_1280.jpg
Lumina Pontmercy that’s so cute! I also got a photo but way more awkward looking because my arms are so short. But IDC cause it’s Reeve Carney.
I personally saw him at the national as Orpheus and thought his vocal performance and acting didn't deliver the motive for his actions, however I thought part of that was also down to the direction (e.g when Orpheus and eurediche were singing how they didn't want to let each other go they were constantly running away from each other on the stage). That said, I did enjoy the whole play and I love this song.
MR. HERMES IM CRYI N G WHAT A GOOD POLITE BOY
Now he's on my list of precious children next to Tintin and Eggs from the Boxtrolls.
ok but in the intro orpheus sounds so cute and innocent and i want to give him a hug
2:46 Okay, this is one of my favourite additions to the score since they started developing it. The melody from "Doubt Comes In" threaded through the accompaniment as the Fates try to sow doubt in Orpheus's mind and turn him back is a wonderful touch. And then actually dramatising the moment when he sings his song to get through the River Styx not only adds so much to his character, it's so moving. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Yea, that was far and away the best change from the original, increased the depth of this number like a million times over, so freaking good.
You've convinced me to love it too
I just noticed Hermes actually sings very softly with Orpheus during the iconic last part, as if to say no matter what happens, he’ll be there with him. This musical, man...
Aw Reeve sounds like Tom Holland
He sounds so sweet in this
Fitting, because they're both spiderman lmao
they were both amazing spider-mans 😭😭😭
*flashbacks*
Audrey Prince Lol. Until I read your comment, I didn’t even remember that Reece was part of the OBC for the Spider-Man musical.
Morganism I WAS GONNA SAY THIS
When he started singing the epic refrain 😭😭
"mr hermes!!" baby. baby boy.
The letters social distancing better than Americans ngl
Lol
1:48 "Keep on walking and *don't look back*." Goddamn.
REEVES "Mr Hermes! :D" HES SO CUTE I LOVE HIM
Ally Gator there’s something about him in this role that feels like Tom Holland Spider-Man and I love it
Orpheus in hadestown is just musician! Peter Parker
I honestly didn't really like this Hermes' voice at first, but the more I listen to it, the fonder I grow of it, lol
Me too
Same!
Yeah, me too
It just grows on you, you know?
It's less deep than the voice of the original guy, but I think that fits the trickster type more.
4:19 repeat button for anyone who is just as obsessed with this bridge as I am
Bless you
Morganism You’re doing God’s work thank u
Thank you
THANK YOU WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING
I agree it's great, but I for one have a hard time trying to figure out the right chords by ear, and how to play it with the same intensity as it is orchestrated with. Hopefully, this will be cleared up when they finally release the sheet music for this show, Same with Why We Build the Wall(hoping that the sheet music is a Singer/Pro rendition, not just the melody and basic chords molded together).
YOU CAN JUST TELL WHEN THE SET CHANGE IS AND I'M LOSING MY GODDAMN MIND
I lost my mind as I made this video tbh, I kept thinking back to when I saw it live
Lumina Pontmercy what actually disappears? Like I watched the London bootleg but don’t see what disappears. I’m so confused 🤣
@@bencrawford9320 "What actually disappears" you ask? Eurydice disappears- oh wait no wrong song huh. (Sorry, I had to). Okay SERIOUS STAGING SPOILERS FOLLOW. ////////
Basically after "well, that's a start", all of the lights turn off except for the spotlight on Orpheus and Hermes (I think some ensemble/orchestra/background lights were on too, but they weren't the focus, if that makes sense). then the Workers Chorus comes out on the turntables with their headlamps and they're "walking" behind Orpheus - not actually walking, but walking in place on the turntable so that it appears as if they're moving. During the chorus/refrain the lamps come done from ceilings surrounding Orph, and then the light gets REALLY bright (I was sitting in the mid-front orchestra and went blind for a few seconds, and in the few seconds that I went blind the Fates showed up). Then near the end -- during the "La la la la la..." bit before "you're on the lam youre on the run" if I remember correctly -- more lights come up on the ceiling and the industrial world of Hadestown appears on stage - like it comes up from below the ground, I think, but someone else can feel free to correct me, because it was A LOT to take in and I sadly can't remember it perfectly. Eventually it kinda calms down a bit, with the lights going dim again except for the swinging lights and the workers lamps, and then at the end all of the lights point to Orph. And then at the very end all of the lights go out again. It's A LOT and my description could never ever do it justice. Hopefully I'll get to see it again and this time I'll sit in the mezz to have a different view! But gods if Bradley King does not win the tony for best lighting I am literally going to riot at dawn.
Lumina Pontmercy wait, so no set disappears?
@@bencrawford9320 when hadestown appears from the ground the bar set is described to split and hadestown comes up from... Down below (six feet under the ground below)
Orpheus: **breathes**
Hermes: oRpHeUs wAs A PoOr bOy
Eurydice: *just exists*
Hermès: EuRiDyCe wAs a hUnGrY GiRl
"Who are you? Why are you all alone?"
"And I am not alone, I hear the rocks and stones"
*fuck* man
2:47 the “doubt comes in” riff in the background got me in C H I L L S
😭
my favorite thing about Wait for Me, since the first time I heard it in it's less famous days is that Orpheus says "I'm coming with you." Meaning, even if he has to be in hell to be with her, he would. He would die for her, but whatever happens he will not leave her or force her to come with him.
the only critic I have is the singing of "with all my heart" I wish they kept this statement spoken, it just tore your heart to hear the epitome of his naiveness. but the rest is just brilliant!!!!! can't wait to hear the whole thing
i feel like he added pain in his own way, and I feel like it's still kind of spoken?
Same
This time, when the Fates come to spread doubt, he sings alone and the entire world sings back to him. He is not alone; how could anyone even think he is when the very stones sing back to him? He sings a song so beautiful the rocks melt and they let him in, and he can sing them home again.
The next time, he sings alongside the world and they all-but *scream* back at him, but he can't hear them. He's too stuck inside his own head to hear the music of the spheres, for what might be the first time in his life. The insistence by some of the production that Orpheus and the Fates go back and forth a few times when they were working on this story really did improve it.
Yeah!
What Ilike the most from this particular musical is that there's different versions of the same story. It's like actual myths we tell throughout time; there's always a different version of it (The myth of Hades and Persephone meeting, the generic urban myths,etc). That little aspect of it makes me love Hadestown that much more than I already do :)
Idk if this is how they meant to interpret it but i could feel the dissappointment Hermes had for Orpheus when the poor boy asked for Eurydice
I don't really get the significance of Hermes joining in the "I hear the walls repeating..." part, but for some reason IT HURTS MORE THAN THE USUAL.
Enya Visco it might be a reference to how the story repeats itself
Enya Visco that actually not hermes! It’s the ensemble and they represent the “walls repeating” (echoes)
@@bubblyslimes9381 I just searched for the lyrics. According to genius.com, it was Hermes at first, but in the next lines it was Hermes and an "Unknown Voice". IDK if its legit tho.
Enya Visco it shows that he isn’t alone.
In Greek mythology, Hermes was kind of a person who helped the recently departed into the underworld. I think it's a nice little reference to Hermes helping Orpheus into Hades town since that was probably the old way before the train came along
Sis I’m really starting to warm up to this soundtrack. At first, I wasn’t really loving it because I was just so hooked on the original sound but like THIS IS PRETTY FRICKIN GOOD MY DUDE
I do wish they kept Orpheus saying wait at the end multiple times. It shows him realizing how horrible it is down there. Him questioning if can even do this. You can here it with every time he says it at the end.
Its so hard to read with that much space between the Letters.
Mr.Bernji ikr
Yeah, it's quite annoying and tries too hard to be a e s t h e t i c while sacrificing practicality
Social distancing is key my dude
@@nothoughtsheadempty4650 (≧▽≦)(≧▽≦)
I respectfully disagree
“who are you to think that you can walk a road that no one ever walked before?” hits DIFFERENT
God the fates and the background music of 'doubt comes in' and just the way every few notes you hear something that sounds off but then it's normal god this is a piece of art
I originally didn’t like the changes but this just tore my soul I’m sobbing I love it
Me too to be honest
I thought it was good before, but THIS is... TRANSCENDENT. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I CAN'TT!!
THE WAY HE SAYS MR. HERMES ITS SO CUTE JEBEBRD
And this won best musical in 2019 well deserved
I don't think Reeve can not not be Peter Parker... and I'm okay with that
Just imagine it as Spiderman trying to rescue Gwen Stacy from hell.
This is exactly what I was thinking!!! When he call out "Mr hermes. I couldn't stop thinking of Peter Parker yelling out "Mr. Stark!!" 😔😂
I never though this song could get any better than it already was....and then I heard 3:08...
Some of us like the Off Broadway Cast
Some of us like the Broadway Cast
BUT WE CAN ALL AGREE WAIT FOR ME IS ART IN ALL OF THEM
03:09 Is one on the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard
this hermes is so sassy!!!! love it
i loved the original, but i love this even more! also, in the background of the fate's part, you can hear the tune of "doubt comes in"
Hermes sounds like an old gay queen and I enjoy it
i didn’t know if the broadway album would do it for me but I’m literally IN LOVE with reeve’s voice and Andre de shields is INCREDIBLE. F***!!!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
SAME UGH 😭❤
I wanna hear this version with the original cast. Reeve and Andre are good, but Damon and Chris would MELT MINDS if they did this song. The new additions are so intoxicating and enhance the experience. I really love this.
Yessss
You read my mind!
i absolutely love the new cast but damon’s voice is just so goddamn pretty!! i really hope he reprises the role someday
I do prefer the original's performances, but this is pure magic. My brother saw the live production and told me it was fantastic, so naturally when the Broadway recording came out, I just had to jump at the opportunity to listen.
That was legit the fastest 5 minutes of my LIFE.
Phenomenal I’ve seen the Show Twice and Already set to see it 4 More Times #HadestownfortheTony
You are so lucky to get to see it.
The Typing Dragon 22 I hope you get to see it Everyone should see it It’s a Phenomenal show with a True “Original Story”
@@zackstark24601 Thanks! I don't have the money to take a trip to New York, so I'll sadly never see an OBC performance, but it's on my bucket list to see it if/when it goes on tour.
*"mr hermes!"* my h e a r t
literally got shivers, i love this new wait for me
I have a fragile heart and shouldn’t get so pumped up listening to music but I can’t help it with hadestown.
I really hope they perform this at the Tonys (if they're performing, which is likely),,, this would be such a beautiful piece to do there!!!
(I've listened to this so many times and i still love it!!!!)
EDIT: THEY PERFORMED IT OH MY GOD IM-
I figure they might do Way Down Hadestown or Wait For Me II
They're performing, in Eva's vlogs for broadway.com she has said they're performing many times
I saw in Hadestown’s stories that they’re rehearsing Livin’ It Up for the Tony’s. Maybe they’ll do a medley
Oh well would you look at that
The "who are you" in the background at 3:03. So beautiful!!! 😯😯😯😮😮
im not even into hadestown, and this is hella awesome omg.
4:19 gives me chills every time
3:08 - 3:40 ??? CHILLS
More like 0:00-5:07 CHILLS
Honestly same
While I, like many others, prefer the Hermes and Orpheus from the live recording, I must admit that this version has grown on me. The additional verses in particular have me QUAKING.
I’m listening to this musical at midnight again
Oh my gods this is so amazing! I’m listening to this in the car and my mom keeps looking at me like I’m crazy cause I just keep saying “YES THIS IS WHAT I NEED IN LIFE”
don't let your mom's weird looks bring you down (no pun intended), BLAST THAT HADESTOWN 🌹
He sounds so innocent!!!!!
hermes here seems so much more like... taunting in a way, while the other acts like he's seen this all before.
I'm so glad this is the song they performed at the Tonys!
he pulled a whole spiderman on us
the bridge hits me so hard ohhh my god
Oh no... Please... Please I thought I was free from musicals.
sameeeee
*winks in Hamilton, Heathers, Dear Evan Hansen, In The Heights, and Be More Chill*
Once you are there, babe, there’s no way out!!
Welcome back we have a new array of torture and endless rhymes and rhythms waiting to just play over and over in your head.
Mmood
How can i pick just 30 seconds from this song to make a ringtone?! The whole song is just soo good!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BEST MUSICAL. THIS ONE REALLY DESERVES IT!!!
This number in person is incredible
Orpheus is a disney princess tell me otherwise
Except instead of singing to animals it's the rocks
For only being in this fandom for two days, I love the new additions to the song!
Here after learning of the Tony results, didn’t get to watch it cause xfinity streaming is wack but that’s a rant for another time, anyway this musical deserved everything it got and ima be real here I was disappointed Reeves didn’t get a beat leading actor nomination
I need to get new headphones for this. BECAUSE MY CRAPPY HEADPHONES AREN’T DOING THIS ARRANGEMENT JUSTICE
Orpheus is my Baby. Boy. And I will protect
We stan
Orpheus voice is so beautiful
For some reason I really like the line “don’t give your name you don’t have one”
I am literally balling my eyes out two seconds in wth
I’ve been WAITING for an Andre recording!
When I saw this during previews, holy shit...you guys, it brought the fuckin' house down. Wow. Thanks.
I love this soundtrack because its so cool and I can sing all of the girl parts. Yey Altos
I honestly only like the old one better because it's what I've constantly listened to and I'm weak for Damon's crisp high notes, but this version is soooo gooooood toooo!!
Dorian Gray, what you doin'?
okay I’ve never listened to hadestown before but now I’m about to go download this song because oh my GoD THIS IS SO GOOD
Listen to it! The musical is incredible and one of the best I've ever hearx
Orpheus: Hey, where is Eurydice?
Hermes: Six miles below.
Hammie: Where is Eliza?
Burr, Jeff and Madison: You should have said no to this.
3:09 - 3:41 BEST part
Sucks we won’t get this obcr versions on Spotif till end of july
IM SEEING IT TONIGHT AND IM SO EXCITED
I love this part
"Im coming wait for me.
I hear the walls repeating the falling of my feet and it sounds like
D R U M M I N G.
AND I AM NOT ALONE
I HEAR THE ROCKS AND STONS ECHOIN MY SONG
I'M CoooOoOOOOMIIIING"
Just- hrisnzhdakow
Orpheus is the purest baby. Gotta protect him with my life
... I have absolutely no idea what this musical is about, but this sounds GLORIOUS
It really is
I've been listening to this song on repeat how do I undo an obsession
i've listened to this so many times and my HEART IS FULL
i am so conflicted about reeve carney. i feel like singing is really hard for him, like he really struggles to reach all the notes. it is kind of awkward to listen to. however, he also sounds so genuine and has a pleasant tone. plus he is hot, so there is that.
he's actually a great singer lol?
Can I just say how this is flawless!
I still prefer Damon Dunno's version, but this is growing on me
A Cote both of their interpretations of Orpheus are so different and at first i wasn’t really used to reeves version but I grew to love it
So long as they're both good singers, I don't really care. Sounds uncaring of me but still.
This whole soundtrack is just amazing the fates part in this song gives me goosebumps
the fates harmonies send tweet
I’ve never listened to this musical, but just from this one song, I can tell I’m about to have another addiction.
Reeves Carney is different from Damon Drarruno but I’m convinced he isn’t any worst just simply that different. Only time will tell who is remembered as the first after all how often do actors change from the off broadway cast to the broadway cast and no one even remembers the original played the character. I don’t think that will happen with Damon but only time will really tell
I love the original a bit more but HOLY SHIT THE BRIDGE AT THE END I'M IN LOVE
This is amazing! I love this recording of the song! Reeve does an amazing job!
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH I THOUGHT I HAD TO WAIT A WHOLE OTHER DAY
i already know he's gonna fuck up on the end
It’s gonna take getting used to, especially since I loved the original cast so so much, but I really do love the new additions!
