Hadestown React PART 4

Short one because I was late for work. AND I LEARNED ITS NOT THE END OF ACT ONE SORRY

Comments

Nick to comment on something you said in the end of your reaction. Actually there were some references to the actual stage performance of Wait For Me on broadway in that animatic. The lamp lights that were hanging down near the end of the video are actually swinging around in the live performance and Reeve Carney (Orpheus) is bobbing and weaving through them as the song progresses. It is one of the most genius ways to incorporate light into a musical that I have ever had the pleasure to experience live. If you can find time to react to the Tony Award performance of Wait For Me you will be completely blown away by how it is done. Reeve is so much more talented and unbelievable in person. I also notice that you love Eva Noblezada’s voice (Eurydice) she is an incredible person more than a singer. I had the pleasure to see the show live in New York the same year of the Tony Awards and went for brunch at a nice restaurant near the theater before the show. It just so happened to be the place that Reeve and Eva went to eat before their call time. We didn’t bother them since they were enjoying a quiet meal together but it was a surreal experience to see them just having a good time at lunch. They met during the production and have been in a long standing relationship ever since. Eva goes live on instagram every so often to talk with her fans. She is currently in the Great Gatsby on broadway. Much love Nick! I am so glad you are reacting to my favorite musical ever. 🌺

If you haven’t seen it yet, you should react to the whole musical. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my favorites, sadly it didn’t get to broadway

Seeing people's reactions to how deep Hades' voice is is one of the truest joys, let me tell you. Patrick Paige also played Frollo in a Hunchback of Notre Dame run - there is a video of him singing Hellfire somewhere on YouTube.

The animatic for “wait for me” is actually really close to the stage musical! It captures all the beats and a lot of the visuals tbh. It’s so good. And I believe you have one more song for act 1, “why we build the wall”. (Well, and “when the chips are down” which goes right before “gone, I’m gone”)

I’ll have to add Chips are Down to the next react! Sorry about that. My list didn’t have that on there for some reason 😔

Nicholas Filippides

As the first person mention, you did miss the Chips are Down. Hades' voice gives me chills every damn time, it gives me Tom Waits vibes. It's like gravel grinding together but the fricking CHARISMA, it just suits the character so well!

Also, there is more at the end of “Gone I’m Gone” 😭

You missed a song!! A really good one. Between “Hey Little Songbird” and “Gone I’m Gone” is “When the Chips are Down”. Please please go back and react to that one!!
