Patrick Paige saying Hades could be played by a tenor is so freaking funny to me
presumably he means putting the notes up an octave. But you're right, it loses its power if it's not this gravely deep underground voice.
I almost cried. We Basses have so few roles :’(
As a tenor myself, I accept his challenge
@@PapaLobo94 as a female soprano I, I accept this challenge too 😂
I think him being a bass is absolutely fitting. Them changing Orpheus' music to fit Reeve's voice type makes sense for him but I would die if Hades became a tenor
Soooo... Patrick needs to narrate nature documentaries, it would be dope
Patrick describing Eva Noblezada as a “ballsy young woman” was everything I didn’t know I needed 😂
timestampppp

“I’m not singing about your boi!”~Patrick Page
Lmao
That's one Lupone-ism most of us would approve of
Amber’s speaking voice is a lot different than her singing.
Back when she didn't really do interviews and make public appearances (it's still pretty rare for her) I thought she might be a bit tough in real life because her acting persona is so convincing. But she's genuinely so lovely and motherly. I had the insane luck to meet her and can confirm that she exudes such a gorgeous presence. Same with Patrick, I was absolutely terrified to meet him because his Hades is so convincing but he is such an incredibly lovely and thoughtful human.
It's interesting, cause the first time I heard Livin' It Up on Top on the album, since I'd never seen what Amber looked like, I was fully picturing Kate Bush singing as Persephone, with that kind of gravelly timbre she used to put up for some of her more aggressive pre-Hounds of Love cuts. The two women's speaking voices couldn't be more distinct, yet when using that sassier, more raucous tone color, they end up sounding eerily similar.
Patrick Page must have the most sensual voice in the New York
I'm crying just by listening to him
Nah, that would’ve been Alan Rickman.
@@ceebee2 Now you mention it I think Alan Rickman would have made a great Hades!
@@PlunderingDesire1 and Patrick page would make a great Snape for sure!
They both need to narrate audiobooks.
Also, congratulations to the newest Tony Winner for Best Musical, Hadestown!!!!
This: "Most people are afraid of their own divinity, and André isn't."
Divine swag😁
I can listen to Patrick Page talk all day.
Me too :D. Actually I'm listening to his interviews since the morning
icebox56 same
I love the way Patrick told the plot of the show
Patrick Page was PERFECT casting as Hades. Every time he sang I got shivers.
I could listen to him tell me a bedtime story
16:17 "i'm not singing about ja boi" got me LMAO
Why is it both of the Hadestown build interviews have given me serious ASMR?
BBQ Corn Nuts two words. Patrick Page.
this interview is so good! The interviewer did such a good job with these questions you can tell she actually did her research on the show and actually cares about the answers. Love it!
Came here to hear them both talk about the show..... Stayed for Patrick spilling so much tea over the gobal economics and politics
Amber seems like the really fun and goofy and fiercely protective bestie, and Patrick seems like the very calm, collected, patient friend that is the voice of reason you can’t help but love. They’re opposites, but in the best way possible. Yin and yang. Chocolate and vanilla. Their personalities just complement each other so well, and I think Anaïs did a splendid job of casting. Honestly I just wanna be besties with Patrick Page and Amber Gray
Patrick’s connection to not only the people he is having a conversation with, but also the audience is beautiful. This man has such a calming presence
The person enthusiastically nodding their head and agreeing with Patrick's music analysis at 5:08 is honestly giving me life lol
i totally agree with what amber said about composing for women’s voices. i’ve never heard songs that fit so well with my voice until this musical.
I'm curious, is it really not frequent for a female composer to be better at writing in ranges that are comfortable for women? I've had Waitress and Fun Home on my to-watch/listen list for the longest time and haven't gotten around to them yet, but I'd have to believe Sara Bareilles and Jeanine Tesori would understand vocal challenges for female voices more than, say, a Rodgers, a Webber, or even a Sondheim...
When Patrick speaks dust floats down from the rafters and the windows rattle. What a gift to have such a voice and use it in such a great way. And both he and Amber come across as amazingly friendly, down to earth and totally professional. You just want them to do well and they clearly are.
I absolutely love how Patrick Page is so in love with the show, you can tell he thinks about it a lot and has analyzed it to the core
Well said! It was incredible to hear him talk about it. Plus Amber's thoughts too!
I just love this host so much. Every time i watch clips from this show, she's honestly interested in the show and the people she's interviewing and it's so refreshing to see a host that cares as much as she does
Patrick’s voice is making my table vibrate
Amber and Patrick are fantastic! I love how comfortable they are with each other! They're both so fun and talented, their voices are so pleasant to hear, and I loved their answers for everything. The interviewr was also great, you could see she was a good fan of the show. Loved the audience questions too.
(And in a world where there is so much mansplaining I love seeing Patrick always asking for Amber's opinion and they both help one another to complete their thoughts. They're such sweet hearts)
When I listen to hey little song bird and why we build the wall, when Patrick’s voice comes in it always scares me. It takes me a moment to remember THAT IS A HUMAN PERSON
HAHA SAME
I seriously use to think it was some kind of voice changer effect in hey little song bird but turns out,
It isnt :0
I can not wait forcthis particular cast Album. These two people have such orgasmic voices, i have been obsessed with Amber since Comet
They are both on the original cast recording together. You should be able to find it on TH-cam. I hope this helps!
The live cast recording is available on steaming services and they both are on it! There have been changes made to the score since that recording, but it’s something to keep you going til the entire Broadway recording is out!
Derrie CINNAWITCH Carpenter ugh same with the amber thing
Oh my god, Patrick speaks so beautifully, I’m in love
Patrick and Amber together is just PERFECTION
i think this is one of my fave broadway build interviews
I'm glad Patrick talked about the heavenly/underwordly contrast of Hades and Orpheus! Because if anyone compliments Patrick for his deep voice, they should also give due to Reeve who really worked on his iteration of Orpheus who's established in mythos as an otherworldly singer, the best singer in fact. People who say he's the weakest link are just so used to beltings without realizing CONTROL is so much harder.
Wait some people think he's the weakest link? His performance of Wait For Me at the Tony's is what got me into Hadestown. I was most impressed with his performance tbh
@@wuttatota148 Same here! I can't fully understand their logic either.
Damom Daunno was better
Love you, love you, love you, Amber Gray. And Patrick Page...such a delightful presence. Blessings to you both.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how relaxing Patrick’s voice is
patrick page hit us with the truth at 17:00 and i will not let it go unnoticed 👏🏽 and amber gray’s explanation of activism right after is a v important sentiment especially during recent current events
i have so much appreciation for the depth the cast and crew has given hadestown ❤️
I agree, I love the extremely alto muse. Her voice is so beautiful and smexy
The interviewer asked really great questions, I love this interview
You can see how invested they are in this piece of artistry.
I always find it amusing how Americans tend to think about the southern wall when discussing the 'Why We Build the Wall' song, while I, as a Russian, first go to USSR's Iron Curtain, and then maybe Berlin Wall. I mean, it makes perfect sense that everyone thinks of the wall that is most relevant to their history and culture first, but at the same time it's kind of amazing how well the song works for *a* wall, just any in general.
It's actually genius.
Patrick's voice is the only sound I ever need to hear
Me personally, I accept the wall for what it is. A damn good act one closer that does a great job setting up what type of character Hades is and how he runs the underworld.
The more I hear about Amber Gray the more I'm convinced she's not fully of this world. Also, a fantastic interview!
I just love Patrick's voice! It's so comforting and mesmerizing! (I also got to see him in Hunchback of Notre Dame too)
Ps- I can't wait for the cast album!
So did I! I saw Hunchback when it was at the La Jolla playhouse, and he was amazing as Frollo!
Oh who was he in Hunchback? He’d make an amazing Frollo.
@@QueenRedRosemary He was Frollo! And awesome!!
Sarah Hamilfan Omg I definitely will! I bet he killed “Hellfire.” Thank you for telling me!
Omg I’m jealous!!!!
I love this questions everyone asked and I love Amber's laugh! I love this interview and how intimate the conversations become. A plus! 👍
When I saw the show Amber recognised me in the second row and waved and laughed at how excitedly I waved back and it is the best thing to ever happen to me!
Patrick is so calming, can he be the one to talk me down from a panic attack? 😂😂
They’re talking about having no spoilers except minutes before amber just talked about Orpheus turning round 😂
the WAY that I am in love with amber gray
The person nodding their head at 5:08 is exactly how I felt watching this
What I love about Patrick is not only his immense talent and his amazingly gorgeous voice 💕 but also his intelligence, and his passion about the show and his fellow creative coworkers. Amber is the soul of the show and I really love her - one of the most unique voices in the show if not in all Broadway.
Holy shit... they're so articulate. I'm not so much as surprised they are as to what they're saying. It's so in-depth and relevant and it's scary how much truth they compare the circumstances in the play to real world events.
Patrick Page's voice is so captivating.
Patrick Page is literally ASMR
Ambers so pretty I - 🥺
what a wonderful interview! this show is transplendant.
The bisexual sandwich I want to be in😢.
戴怡宁 Im sorry W H A T
@@gracejennings9034 you heard em
Me too
Jesus Christ 😂
MOOD
I’m so excited to see the show in June!!
Michael Galvin it’s breathtaking!
Patrick pages voice is making scared yet intimidating
I just absolutely love these two
Just saw this show on Christmas Eve at The Walter Kerr Theatre in NYC!!! Amazing, engaging, enthusiastic and most importantly...FUN!!! GO SEE THIS SHOW!!!!
I love how there were questions about the music and the singing as well, great interview!
ughhh i wanna see this musical SO bad, but I live in asia lol
its coming to korea this august! :D
Great interview and fantastic show!
13:50
Thank you Patrick Page.
Aw, Shipoopi love 😅
Really looking forward to seeing the show on Sept 4th.
patrick saying he needs to listen to the whole thing all the way through, he's just like me fr
nobody:
patrick: *shapoopy*
TIMESTAMPPPP
@@pinkitydrinkityyas 12:47
He's TOTALLY right though. Worst song in that musical
@@ktmac8 UH HUH. I also loved how he mentioned that there is always that _one very skippable_ song in every show.
Amazingggggg interviewer!! Great questions
They are perfect
Yes Hadestown!!!
Amber's laugh.
That's it. That's the comment.
Patrick's voice 🥰
Brittany is a good interviewer. I watched many of her interviews and always end with having new knowledge and insight.
31:15 [cries in june 17]
I love any way the wind blows and chant
Also Patrick describing Trump as a "game show host pretending to be a billionaire" sends me 🤣
He could talk in my ear allllll day.
I love how educated and complex thinking Patrick page is about all this. This interview killed the one with Eva and carvey
She's in green bc she represents nature etc
She was probably referring to the shade of green
I blushed for 30 minutes
Also I just wanna know where Amber gets her clothes, I’m obsessed with her style
exactly!
i love her style!❤️
Lolling at Patrick's Sally FIeld joke :D
13:48 and the fears are true...
Woah ambers speaking voice is so different from her singing voice
I want someone to ask about orphism! The cult! I need to know what the cast thinks
amber gray has one pair of shoes
Wait a second your right-
sooo patrick said something about how no other show finishes the storytelling and the bows and then still has a story to tell. what about chorus line?
😍 I got to ask Amber a question! I adore her! 🥀🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
Who is the host? I’ve seen her before but I can’t put a name to her face.
What song are they talking about at the end of the show?? After the curtain call?
I Raise My Cup To Him!! It's not on the NYTW album, but it's on the 2010 concept album. It's a really beautiful song.
earlgayer thank you!!!!!!
Caroline Fawcett It will also be in the OBC cast recording!
We Raise Our Cups is now available on Spotify from the OBC! :)
SO NO-ONE IS TALKING ABT AMBER ANNOUNCING AN ALBUM 31.14 ???
My god I so hope she wasnt joking and she actually wants to make her own album one day, I would literally cry
@@dagah1671 fr tho
just a time stamp for me dont pay attention 26:58
You know who else would have made the best Hades? Alan Rickman.
Was he able to sing? I mean his voice - Hell Yes. I just don't think I've ever seen him sing a song
Another Socialist musical which I refuse to see, no matter how artistically worthy the play may be. I do not want blatant politics spit in my face for 2 hours on stage.
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that that’s not what it is! It’s an amazing musical, most of which is completely apolitical. The people interviewing the actors always just focus on the political aspects-because that’s the most sensational aspect-but it’s in no way heavy-handed. First and foremost it’s a story about love, and a great one at that. It has subtext of criticism of the worst aspects of capitalism, but it doesn’t ever mention socialism. I don’t know if you’ve listened to the live soundtrack of the 2016 off-bway workshop, but it gives you a good idea of how it relates to politics. There is a song called “Why We Build the Wall” but it was written in 2006, and when written, it wasn’t about physical country borders, it was a reference to the archetype of the ruler who keeps out others with a wall. The politics are there, but it’s not ever heavy-handed and it’s a fundamentally beautiful show-one I definitely recommend.
Another idiot whose blatant ignorant comment I didn't want to see in my timeline.
Hey can you just shut up and let people enjoy the interview?
lmao someone didn't watch the whole part of the video that directed the politics.
As long as you don't see it, it won't hurt you or pose a threat to you established beliefs. Ain't that ignorance bliss
