Backstage Pass with Lia Chang: Meet the Cast of HADESTOWN

[@mirandabee2323]

"I try to impress her by building things." I've said it before and I'll say it again: Hades would've been better off if he had Minecraft.

[@potato.pancake]

Miranda Bee Persephone could be his Minecraft girlfriend

[@stippschipz]

Ngl it sounds so weird to hear Amber Gray talking like a normal person

[@victorym744]

[@celestelalianna7276]

ikr

[@theturnertalkshow8334]

She sounds like somebody that my mom works with 😂😂😂

[@sisterspoof23]

😭😭😭 I love her

[@tizviviani]

I love how patrick starts saying ME instead of Hades jxdhdbd

[@livi1477]

amber gray is so good at capturing persephone's character. this is a while after she's married hades, so she's not the same happy, innocent person as she was as a newlywed.

[@makaelalevine5976]

so no one was gonna tell me amber gray's speaking voice is that high? i got whiplash in the first thirty seconds

[@cecefernandes5657]

I honestly get shook Every time I hear her speak

[@piglord2819]

Honestly tho

[@jillianbutner6237]

Mood. I literally paused and said "what?"

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

I mean you can hear it in chant reprise

[@cecefernandes5657]

*Eva Noblezada:* I honestly don't know why I was cast *Me:* BECAUSE YOU ARE A QUEEN WITH THE VOICE OF A GODDESS AND MY GODS YOU'RE SO TALENTED AND VAHJDKOEJWHSKBEGEHEOEK

[@floorvanrooij7540]

Live Louder Right?!?! She is so insecure for no reason!

[@blue_the_dinosaur7120]

0:19 I live for the fact that Amber and Patrick are like bffs

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

Blue_The_ Dinosaur I hope that they never leave the show. If they ever do, they leave at the same time.

[@partykllr]

Patrick Page ASMR

[@rocknroll20024]

Okay I totally understand why Reeve Carney won't be coming back for the Penny Dreadful spinoff I'm okay with that at least I get to hear his beautiful voice again

[@kanukulgood]

Hades+Persephone are so great omggggg

[@blushu7941]

I love Hadestown sm (and Amber)

[@notdipperpines6626]

God I remember seeing amber in person when she was in Natasha, Pierre, and the great comet of 1812 and she was amazing

[@a.person4761]

Lucky!

[@kariscoyne1886]

Man, I just want one person in my life to talk about me the way Rachel describes Anais

[@jillianbutner6237]

THE WAY I DIDN'T KNOW DORIAN GRAY PLAYED ORPHEUS!!!!

[@bryanbaumer6856]

I want to see this so bad!!!!

[@cadencestephens2016]

Not gonna lie, Amber's speaking voice made my brain stop working for a minute.

[@oldprincebolkonskyiscrazya782]

“And then she gets to wake up again”. I think we can all imagine where she got that expression from

[@purplequeen8318]

Saw the show about 2 months ago. I loved it!!!!!!

[@kelseysgalaxy953]

I smell a super underrated channel!

[@Bentmatchstick]

I'm shocked that David would say that he was with it from the Beginning. From the time of Orpheus? What about 2006?

[@laurenjcoates]

Amber Gray 🥺

[@t.h.1492]

The side part looks the best

[@ritahavlin8968]

I've never heard Amber's speaking voice and what the FUCK

[@fe5018]

I'm more shocked by Patrick's regular quiet speaking voice.

[@anifan1311]

Patrick Page looked a lot like Patrick Stewart to me. Is there a connection there that I'm missing?

[@kiwifortnight]

theyre the same person. he got married and chaged his name. did you not know this?

[@anifan1311]

I did not. Thank you for informing me. :)

[@SK22520]

Anifan13 no he’s not, you’re being messed with honey 😂 for a starters: page is american and stewart is british. What IS funny tho, is that Page got married to a woman called Paige Davis. Imagine her taking his name, it would be Paige Page haha

[@anifan1311]

Oh, I see. Well then thank thee.

[@YiningDai]

@@SK22520 No Patrick Stewart married Paige Davis and took her first name as his last name ;)

So weird to see that set with a proscenium 😱

[@danielaortiz9178]

Dumb question: what's a proscenium , why's it special?

[@fe5018]

@@danielaortiz9178, It's the shape of the stage opening, the rectangular frame above and around it. I saw Hadestown in London where the set was very similar but the stage in the theatre wasn't. The Olivier stage at the National has an "open stage" in an amphitheatre style auditorium, so there's no proscenium arch or frame. It's really odd seeing something look so the same and fundamentally so different simultaneously; the Walter Kerr is a much more conventional stage. (Not a dumb question btw, proscenium arches are so ubiquitous that they're what most people think of as theatre stages, making it one of those terms/distinctions that most people don't generally have to make).
