tbh this is the candy store of hadestown

[@avawasserman260]

Hadestown was before Heathers...

[@jadenwaz9585]

Stardust 167 Nope, wrong. Hadestown was a concept album in 2010.

[@risipieces]

^^ y’all, it really doesn’t matter who came first in relation to the op’s comment. literally all nicole is saying is that it’s a powerful song with three female singers. calm down.

[@franfrankie7]

@@avawasserman260 lol really?? Heathers was in 1989 ;)

[@avawasserman260]

@@franfrankie7 I thinn you are joking but thee movie is from 1989 candy store did did not exist then.

[@charliep123]

The only thing that would make this better is if every time they said “chips are down” Eva Noblezada appeared out of nowhere and threw chips on the floor

[@rosachang1312]

i need this now 😂

[@queenieblue93]

See Little Songbird Episode 4

[@madelynmcrae358]

I could so see Reeve, Eva and Andre doing that...Lmao

[@ShinSeul]

Who will make an edit? Haha

[@connorlee2820]

Friend: drops some Lays Me: “Whatchu gonna do when the chips are down” *in 3 part harmony*

[@dailychatterbox4224]

Connor Lee LMAO YES

[@finleyvigliotti4693]

wow all three parts by yourself? amazing

[@bymeerabrowngothicroyal]

I've never wanted to be three seperate women simultaneously before now

[@alisonrex5767]

Legends. All three of them. Literally.

[@healthyholemealbread]

oh my aching heaarrrttt (anyone else fill in that bit?)

[@Gr3yHomie]

Yep

[@PRACTICALLYTIME]

lmaoo teah

[@williamkunga4672]

healthywholemealbread my brain does it automatically at this point 😭

[@sylviab8482]

Yep my brain does it automatically

[@keiradickson2354]

the fate with the super deep voice 😭

[@aseye.b]

Yes Jewelle Blackman is a contralto LEGEND

[@cadencestephens2016]

Jewelle Blackman shouted "alto rights" from the rooftops and I 100% respect that

[@berkleypearl2363]

I’m always waiting for a clap of thunder after “cast your eyes to heaven” for that extra mythological flair

[@yc2877]

I think the music kind of pausing at that part emulates thunder or adds drama but that would be cool

[@bryce4395]

ZEUS IS THAT YOU

[@IJVin]

I feel like they all have a different performer's energy. Obviously, they all sing, dance and act, but Jewelle Blackman has a singer's energy, Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer has a dancer's energy, and Kay Trinidad has an actor's energy.

[@woodboys23]

thats exactly how i would describe it.. you can see the movement in Yvette

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

They are literally a tripple threat to the story 💀

[@meravonal7970]

I can see what you mean but I don't know who is who

[@IJVin]

@@meravonal7970: As the video begins, Blackman is on the left side of the screen and Trinidad is in the middle.

[@liamjoshuamunn]

The fates we want and deserve...

[@taisgrim]

THAT SYNCHRONISATION

[@soldiaz7261]

the fate on the left could snap my neck and id thank her oh my gods theyRE SO GOOD especially her aaa

[@broadwaymike92]

Some of you might recognize Yvette Gonzalez Nacer formerly known as Kiki from that Nickelodeon show THE FRESH BEAT BAND. What a talent and it's about time she was on Broadway.

[@araa5422]

Holy shit

[@percyuji9058]

[@abbyvernon8655]

LITERALLY LOOKING FOR THIS COMMMENT AHHHHAHAHAHA SHES A QUEEN 🥰 👑

[@OneNerdyAce]

[@that_theater_bitch]

Is this why I love this musical? No .....what no idk what you're talking about....

[@stephpiano2908]

They freaking killed this! They're all so pretty omggggg

[@emanuellancecruz3028]

YASSS DIVERSITY!!!

[@PRACTICALLYTIME]

i love this song i just wish they would’ve kept doubt comes in the same bc it was another gross but beautiful harmony song for the fates and i miss it

[@Cutie7687Pie]

how was doubt comes in changed? i absolutely love that song on the recording :/

[@druidforhire]

carter wright How do you mean? They still sing and harmonize in Doubt Comes In on Broadway.

[@PRACTICALLYTIME]

druid for hire they cut a lot of their lines and stuff out of that song that had my fav harmonies

[@PRACTICALLYTIME]

Sara R they basically only repeated one sentence and harmony progression in between mostly orpheus and Eurydice

[@imgayverygay6770]

carter wright that’s kind of disappointing :/ that’s my favourite song on the live recording

[@elisavalenzuela1417]

i’ve never seen anything about this musical but like... omg

[@achoquenao3719]

[@zackstark24601]

[@pinkiemcgraw6122]

Heathers: Candy store Hadestown: hold my 🌺 Heathers:😱😱😱😱

[@car0_lineee]

This is probably one of my favorite Hadestown songs

[@helloalexandraa]

The head turn at the beginning will never *not* slay me 🤭👌🏽

[@laurelleaves]

I've never seen anything more powerful wtf

[@charliep123]

The only thing that would have made this better is if every time they said “chips are down”, bags of chips rained from the sky.

[@yurtcobain3337]

that "cast your eyesss to heavennn" is my sexuality

[@limesquared]

Best song in the show.

[@dmay6637]

[@aurorareed-jenssen1235]

has anyone the sheet music for this one? I am doing it for a concert bur can't find sheet music, probably because it is so new...

[@Orholam5]

:O they literally did not just stay quiet during Eurydice's parttt....that's the best part of the song! otherwise it's an unending repetition of "chips are down"

[@maiawong9703]

im trying so hrd to fiure out the harmonies but i cant separate the middle and high part someone help me

[@hobbedgoblin10]

i’m a year late but if you search up when the chips are down atropos/clotho/whatever the other ones name is part there’s someone on yt who has sung all of the harmonies individually

[@tatumtrowbridge15]

Are they all triple threat?

[@marlahectic9299]
