HADESTOWN Wait for me (Reprise) Broadway 2020 Reeve Carney Eva Noblezada

[@bananamanchester4156]

And then they walked out of Hadestown and Orpheus didn't look back and he and Euridice had a long happy life together and I will not hear a word to the contrary.

[@aweirdoandaphone4135]

I mean, they could always sing it again…

[@Texbun2]

HA!

[@veniceangelidelacruz2988]

That's right. Not a word to contradict this or no one gets to sleep tonight.

[@RosesNightengales]

Orpheus did good up until that point!

[@hunacean]

Time to see this musical for how it could be

[@zachmiller8725]

It's honestly impressive to me that this audience had it in them to clap at the end. When I saw this, we were silent as a graveyard. Mind you, my crowd was very responsive through the rest of the performance. But after Eurydice's last "I'm coming!" ... nothing. It was like if we made any disturbance, we were going to throw them off and ruin everything. The tension was unlike anything I'd felt in a theater.

[@aaronlovesfrogs]

there was applause (and cheering) when i saw it but the tension was unbelievable

[@AaronDaMiller]

I saw the Atlanta show. Complete silence.

[@Benziboiiii]

I just saw it today and couldn't move while some of the audience clapped around me, the heart thud when he looked back is going to stick with me for a while

[@AreesDaOG]

We all clapped and cried when I saw it

[@monkeybandit4162]

There was a few girls crying behind me

The meanest dog you will ever meet, he ain’t the hound dog in the street, he bares some teeth and tears some skin, but that’s the worst of him, the dog you really gotta dread, is the one that howls inside your head. It’s him who drives men mad, and a mind to its undoing -best quote ever

[@finleyforevermore]

The female ensemble member hitting the high note while singing "Echoing our song!" at 4:41 sounds absolutely magnificent!

[@kekelol5101]

OMG I LITERALLY WAS TYPING THISSSS SO FREAKING GOOD

[@finleyforevermore]

@@kekelol5101 YESSS!!!

[@elizabethcabrera6549]

One thing that I just noticed is that at around 2:54 when both of the couples are holding hands, You can see that in the back Orpheus let's go of Eurydice rather quickly and abruptly maybe symbolizing the foreshadowing of their future, how Orpheus 'let's go first' and turns around and seals their fate. While Persephone and Hades, even when the other two separate, you can still see them holding hands tightly as if their savoring their time together and when they do separate, it's this in this slow and meaningful implying that they were savoring each others presence and know the other would be waiting for them😭

[@seraphik]

I'm ngl, Hades and Persephone absolutely stole the show for me. i was so much more invested in the complex, painful progress of their relationship.

[@l.n.3372]

Excellent analysis! I think both couples have a lot to offer in terms of performance. Hades/Persephone feels more mature, working back to each other after distance has chilled their relationship. For Orpheus/Eurydice tho, it's the tragic failed, doomed relationship that you know won't succeed but you enjoy the tragedy of the journey nonetheless.

[@hotshot104]

I always feel so bad for those workers they had so much hope in that moment to follow where they would lead and finally be free as well.

[@nathankalbassi5770]

Indeed, I've thought about that too.

[@Sharpe1502]

Reeve and Eva are amazing but I am always blown away by how amazing Patrick and Amber’s chemistry is. They seriously have the best stage chemistry I’ve ever seen.

[@seraphik]

"Do you think they'll make it?" "I don't know." "Hades, you let them go." "I let them try." "And how about you and I? Are we going to try again?" "It's time for spring. We'll try again next fall." "Wait for me." "I will." And then they hold on as long as possible before gracefully letting go. Oof. The exchange between Hades and Persephone touches me in a way I can't even explain. I root for them far more than I root for Orpheus and Eurydice.

[@MohnJcIntyre]

that simple "I Will" at 2:50... Orpheus may have failed at the end, but he succeeded where it mattered most. The song brought back everything he said it would, just not quite how he anticipated it would.

[@nolabyrum7089]

Eurydice was the thing that mattered most to him though 😭

[@lost2439]

Ok but can we all just take a minute to appreciate the use of the turn tables!! The way they worked the choreography to fit ✨

[@izzybella2628]

Wow the actual talent to be able to belt that high while WALKING AND JUMPING!!!! WOAH ❤❤

i swear every time eva comes i i get chills

[@poggorseel]

This musical is the best one I’ve ever seen hands down. Every song. Especially this one.

[@reesereyes6986]

Eva's voice is so powerful; it's giving me chills.

[@strawberryfields7021]

Every time i hear Andre deshields' "the meanest dog you will ever meet.." opening,, it's so epic

[@lorenbennington4952]

Im a guy and recently its been a dream role of mine to play Eurdyice. I just git out if my own hell. (living with Homophobic religious radical Republican parents while being gay ) and i walked out of my Hadestown. I had a couple Orepehus' that helped me get out.. but i walked out. And i nver looked back. ❤

[@SK-qo4qs]

I found 'Hadestown: Wait for me' through an animatic from Rambu. It connects to her online webcomic and it fits so well. Also Eva's number has so much power and emotion it just unreal.

[@beccajenks7805]

OH MY LORDY LORD THAT HARMONY 😩😩

[@identitycrisisiv160]

It's sad. He's inspired so many people - by virtue of believing - but now, he's lost faith in them. I suppose by choosing to believe in people, when you're let down, you're let down hard. Oh Orpheus. If he could have believed just one more time...

[@emdingeldein]

the left most worker’s note at the end gives me chills

[@Sirianna]

I know it's been months, but dear lord, please tell me you have more of these!! I'm crying my eyes out after watching this and doubt comes in, my heart hurts but I need to watch the whole thing! And also thank you, the quality is awesome!

[@katesullivan4707]

I would really like to see this with someone who doesn't know the story. But also that I think of one of Persphone's last lines in the final song is just, well, not true. He never gets over it. And he likely will never be reunited with her because his afterlife wouldn't send him there.

[@beth7858]

4:23 is the best part and no one can change my mind 😍😭

[@graciehadlich]

This song allllways gives me chills

[@betsymayo5822]

I'm not crying.. I just have something in my eye.

[@romulolima1181]

"Do you think they'll make it?" "I don't know." "Hades, you let them go." "I let them try." "And how about you and I? Are we going to try again?" "It's time for spring. We'll try again next fall." "Wait for me." "I will." This simple dialogue is the part that shows that orpheus was really right about how he was going to bring spring back with his song. His song did bring spring back by mending the relationship of Hades and Persephone. My boy actually got what he wanted but lost his everything in the doing...

None of the performances I’ve seen are ever as impressive as the soundtrack. Why doesn’t Eva do the higher octave ending in any of the shows like she does on the soundtrack

[@bellac6311]

because its easier to sing notes at the top of your range when standing still in a recording booth than when also moving around on stage. Many musicals adapt the notes for live performances because its not as sustainable for someone to push the top of their voice eight times a week, and its difficult to reach the note at all when moving/dancing

@@bellac6311 But the cast performed wait for me live on CBS this morning saturday, where they were just standing at microphones. And she still didn't sing the higher octave ending note.

[@beccablais3207]

@@esshor. probably because they were trying to make it more authentic to what you would hear at any of the other performances. That way if anyone chose to go see the full show they wouldn't be confused/disappointed by the change. on the albums they have a bit more freedom to switch things up or add things because people who listen to the album aren't necessarily going to see the show and those who saw the show and then listened to the album would be pleasantly surprised by the differences.

[@evilbob9970]

@@esshor. It's also important to remember that soundtracks are typically recorded prior to when the show goes live. As Bella mentioned, when the show is in its run, the actors are performing multiple times a week, sometimes more than once in a day. It can be extremely taxing on one's vocal cords. There are several instances of notable lead actors, such as Idina Menzel (as Elphaba from Wicked) and Barrett Wilbert-Weed (as Veronica from Heathers), needing to recover from vocal strain/damage after performing in strenuous roles. The decision not to opt up can definitely affect the sound of the song, and it's totally fine to prefer an opted up part and to wish for it during live performances, but it's also a decision made with the actors' health, well-being, and continued career in mind

[@aneesacues]

wait… is the guy who does hades the guy who did frollo off broadway in hunchback?

[@royperez8965]

Did Eva almost fall?

[@ardelleestoesta]

Does Reeves vocal stylings change? I’ve watched this and he sounded different

[@loganhill9425]

Both of them sounded a little vocally tired so maybe

[@tashaglam4824]

These actors perform 5-6 days a week, 8 shows a week, twice a day, for 3 hour shows. They barely get breaks because all of their "freetime" mainly consists of rehearsals and other gigs for other projects they may be involved in. Being in a musical is not for the weak. Somedays he may not have as much energy to belt his notes. Just like Eva in this song. She doesn't always belt the last note of the song because she may not have the energy for it.

[@loganhill9425]

@@tashaglam4824 I noticed both of them sounded breathy in the beginning, even in the talking. You are so right it’s not for the weak. I can’t imagine working that many hours a week. It just makes me respect them even more.
