DCU Musical Society at the Musical Theatre Intervarsities - 'Hadestown'

Founded 30 years ago in 1988, DCU Drama is one of the most well established, active, and welcoming societies on campus, and has cemented itself as a crucial part of society life in DCU. Run by a committee of students, each year our society hosts five flagship shows, a Panto, a Musical and 3 plays divided between Semester 1 and 2. Shows are held on DCU Glasnevin campus in The Helix, ans the SU’s The Venue, or on St. Patrick’s campus in the Auditorium. Here at DCU Drama, we maintain the view that Drama is not just for performers, and strive to make sure our members are given their opportunity to shine in their field. Though we are one of DCU’s largest societies, we are a tight knit community.
Hadestown is Jazz musical which follows two intertwining love stories, young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and Hades and his wife Persephone. In this rendition we've chosen to focus on the battle between destiny and choices happening in the show, are they doomed to sing it again or are they able to change their story. And most importantly, we're telling a tale of a love that never dies.

oH ShIt, THAT WAS AMAZING! What an animated crowd! I think the title of this should be "Hadestown but in 20 minutes and everyone is hot"

[@ninjakitten9981]

Eurydice's costume changes was fantastic! I was wondering if they were going to do one and then they do it during a song, but I am a little sad they skipped epic iii

I would die for Hermes

[@marinagarcia3952]

Wow, that was really amazing. I love the female Hermes. I am a musical theater student too and I want to do Hadestown in my college, do you know where can I find the music sheets? Thanks a lot!

[@NixDiap]

HERMES IS GOING PLACESSSS

[@chrissi975]

Eurydice was my least favourite in this version but I would LOVE to see that Hermes and that Orpheus on Broadway!

[@krazykittymatt]

The Caucasity of the dancing 😭🔫 They didn't really have the soul for the songs, but it was still fun to watch. Hermes and the fates were meh, but it as a whole it was okay.

[@grayskula]

i have a small issue... THIS JUST A SMALL CRITICISM they cut out the epics and all of the songs that make the character fleshed out and the core of the show; love, love between eurydice and orpheus AND hades and persephone ... but that's just my cirtisum

[@partricklambaste1235]

Persephone and two of the fates were super weak, all they had going for them was that they’re hot.
