The Making of Hadestown's Live Cast Recording

[@daveedjefferson9346]

I've been such a big fan of Amber Gray since Great Comet and idek why but the fact that her signature color in this show is still green makes me really happy.

[@michaelwilliamybarra2409]

Probably it's to represent the arrival of spring when she annually leaves the Underworld to be with her mother, Demeter, The Goddess of Grain and Earth Fertility.

green looks beautiful on her!

The fact that there was a concern about keeping this moment alive, and that the words "official bootleg" were used make me fall in love all the more. Having this type of recording done officially, with good quality and live is everything we're always asking for and defending. This album is beautiful and brilliant. I hope the Broadway recording follows the same pathetic, and maybe opens the way for official and accessible video recording - though that sounds more like a dream by now who knows? A story for everyone who tries, right? So, let us do so.

[@r_bear]

The recording is very possibly the best-recorded thing I've ever heard; it's really remarkable.

[@Wynnnter]

Six Broadway recently adopted a similar style and I love it. When I first listened to hadestown I was in awe of how great it was then I went to see it and was amazed that the album sounds like they literally recorded on opening night

[@evanmcguire5787]

I am so ready for this musical on Broadway. I wish the pre-Broadway premiere wasn't so far away...from everything

[@spraplatinumring3375]

Those of us who live "far away...from everything" are honored and excited to have Hadestown in Edmonton. We love having them here. It was a privilege to see the show!

[@happychaosofthenorth]

It was amazing!! I ended up seeing it twice!

[@josepablomartinez-rendon9484]

When is the Broadway?

[@RedRowan_]

You might know this already but the Broadway is coming in 2019, so very soon!

[@NoodlesSF]

I was at the second preview on 3/23 and it was ASTOUNDING. This will be a huge hit!

"Official bootleg"

[@comsatteur6893]

been a fan of the original anais mitchell album way before the staged version was produced and I hope it gets more attention and gets produced for broadway

[@epicremarc]

This aged very well

[@alexgonzalez2307]

The album was made because Anais wasn’t sure the original 2006/2007 stage version won’t head anywhere

[@trickytreyperfected1482]

@@alexgonzalez2307 Waiting in the Wings actually made a really great video about the history of it which mentions this

[@elinorbrunner4669]

Here after they announced the Broadway run. I can't wait, but I also miss the original cast, especially Damon Daunno. I just want him back as Orpheus :( I'm not hating on the new cast, though! I know they'll do great. But I also know that this cast will always be my favorite.

[@beefstroganoff1774]

Same, I really like Damon, Nabiyah, and the fates, they're just so good in their roles, I was so sad that they were replaced

[@IlastarothTayre]

This sounds just AMAZING.

[@ririchwn]

i love how it started from a small little musical to a big broadway musical

[@rileywodka511]

She’s completely right You can never get the same emotion from in the studio then on stage

[@stephpiano2908]

Which ironically enough is the problem with the Hadestown OBCR, there's so much more life in the NYTW version.

[@_thesunflowerfairy_]

Really, I prefer the OBCR songs because they’re smoother and there are a load more songs

[@lavalamp9007]

if i dont get to see this musical next year im going to lose my mind. i. need. to see. it.

[@maicey_t.]

....did you get to see it?

[@biancasales7041]

Bro.... How are u this year? The chips are so fucking down that kshsksh lol

[@louise5126]

I saw it tonight. AMAZING. (And no, not so far away from everything!)

[@TerminalSaint]

Me too! It was everything I'd hoped.

[@abby-m-n]

The NYTW cast is my favorite to do this show. You can feel their passion in the live recordings and it's amazing!

[@yaoi5987]

The amount of emotion in the last song almost made me cry holy-

[@myyaoibetch]

I really liked the staging and costuming at the Citadel performances. Fantastic show!

[@Varrizwatches]

Make this tour world wide :'( I want to see it in Europe somewhere

[@CaptainQuirky]

God I wanna see this so bad

[@sachawood8312]

I cannot believe that is Chris Sullivan, he sounds incredible

[@miloformiles]

God I need to listen to this again lol. My amateur troupe is doing a medley and none of them have listened to this version, only the Broadway... I, personally, prefer Damon Daunno and Nabiyah Be to Reeve Carney and Eva Noblezada, but that isn't why I prefer this version; I prefer this version because you can feel their passion and their presence onstage and, while the studio recording may be cleaner, that's the problem. Hadestown and Greek myth in general is messy and emotional and passionate, not clean and perfect.

[@tillytuaoi7299]

I cant wait till this comes to Australia 😭

[@ancientbuns6770]

Love that this was made by a Canadian

[@Micats.19]

thank the GODS Damon's voice was preserved!

[@tiersanureyev9633]

love it

[@dagah1671]

Wait did Rachel say "official bootleg"?? I hope I didn't misunderstood and there actually is a professional recording and if there is Im literally gonna cry if they ever release it

[@PeachesYancy]

She meant that as a metaphor for “live cast recording”

[@MarcelinoToysExpress]

Why can’t Orpheus win? Why can’t we change the myth.

[@UmmOopsy]

He did technically get what he wanted, he did get to be with her, just in hell.

[@aw1379]

Don’t know if you’d be into that but there’s a Middle English poem called Sir Orfeo that has a happy ending. Also, there’s fairies.

Is there a video recording?

is there a bootleg?

no, but when it comes out on broadway it'll probably get one lol

Is that Toby????????!!! I’m actually shook

[@andypsynfyn]

Saw the last night in London.. mostly ruined by an unnecessarily emotive screaming and whooping audience.. It seemed musically very repetitive.. and the biggest joke was that the guy playing Orpheus (ex Spiderman) had a really irritating voice.. which is rather ironic.. given that the mythical character supposedly had a voice that would charm the Gods... Not So !! at least the guy featured here seems to have a pleasant voice.

[@miloformiles]

Yeah I saw the show before the last show in London with my Latin class (prep for university Classics). I still loved it because it was my first time seeing it, but I wish I lived in America and could've gone to the NYTW version when it was on...

[@orpheus6398]

Yeah Damon's voice is better than Reeve, but Reeve is also good. The only thing that I really love in broadway version is EVA NOBLEZADA and on this one is DAMON
