Just saw #Hadestown #Toronto - fantastic ensemble show!

Anyone want 2 free tickets to Hadestown Saturday night in Toronto. Had a trip planned but have to cancel last minute for health stuff. Seems a shame to waste them 😞 #toronto #hadestown #freestuff

Late night post before passing out: I had the opportunity to see #Hadestown today and everything from the performers, to the lighting, to the stage direction was amazing. I'm still hearing it now. If you haven't heard a cast recording of it, please track it down!

#Hadestown headcanon: Orpheus could not have finished the song without Eurydice being taken. Hades doesn’t just need to remember the song of young love, he needs to be able to translate it into what it means to still choose to love and trust after all that has happened between him and Persephone. Orpheus has to understand that fear, that sense of loss and betrayal, in order to reach the king.

Both couples are relearning how to trust each other after infidelity, and that is echoed (cont.)

Folge 57 ist da!

Anlässlich des frisch erschienenen Hörspiels #DieVorboten reden wir über Dialoge im #Hörspiel, im Rollenspiel und in geschriebenen Geschichten, wie sie sich unterscheiden, welche verschiedenen Herausforderungen es gibt usw. Es geht um Improvisieren im #Rollenspiel, unsere Pet Peeves bei Dialogen und im Medienthema reden wir über #Hadestown, ein Musical ist doch schließlich auch so eine Art Dialog, oder?

#Hadestown #Trans #t4t

Oh, I didn't even get to Orpheus & Eurydice, a very t4t couple. Eurydice has young trans girl energy - she's still carrying trauma and the need to be hard to the world, guarded and at arms' distance. Then a young trans guy sees her as the girl she is and she falls in love. Their love is revolutionary, leading the workers to unionize and fight. But ultimately tragic in a hostile world. And t4t relationships definitely have "I will go to hell and back for you" energy.

In the end, the cis straight patriarchy tricks Orpheus, abusing his trauma to quash a revolution. But as Hermes says, it reminds us to sing it again, because this time it might turn out differently. This is the faith of the trans community, trying again and again to fight for our liberation. Being defeated over and over like the changing seasons. But as the world falls out of balance, it's all the more reason to sing.

And it changes the read on the central plot: When Orpheus goes into Hades to save Eurydice, Persephone takes pity and wants to protect and nurture him from her husband, Hades. She wants him to have a change, even though she doesn't feel like she has one. She is the trans auntie watching out for the next generation.

#Hadestown #Trans #TransMasc #TransFem #Musicals

Persephone has long had trans femininity associations, being a symbol of transformation, changing moods, and living in liminal spaces. In a not so healthy relationship with a man she can't quit. And in Hadestown, having some major struggles with substance abuse. Not to mention a raunchy sinfulness, all around, playing with our "sexed up" stereotype.

I really want to see a production of #Hadestown with a young trans masc as Orpheus and an older trans fem as Persephone. Orpheus gives such great trans masc vibes: beautiful singer, sincerely kind and caring, easily lost in hyperfocus and a bit oblivious to what's happening around him, and willing to go to hell and back to save his love.

Theatre Review: "Hadestown" at Baltimore's Hippodrome Theatre
The thrilling musical asks if you would travel to Hell and back for the one you love.

Heule ich gerade schon wieder wegen #Hadestown?
Aber ja!

Hab ein Video gefunden vom allerletzten Song des allerletzten Auftritts von Amber Gray, der Persephone vom Broadway-Album und der Song is eh so schön und alle heulen auf der Bühne und ich natürlich gleich mit. 😭😭🤩

Maybe I’m not plugged into the right networks anymore but I am surprised at how little discourse I’ve seen about #Hadestown. The music is great but I am somewhat baffled by elements of the story. I’m seeing it live on Sunday and hopefully that clears some of my questions up.

Happy Tony Awards For Straight People Day!
In keeping with my Super Thanks For Asking Bowl tradition, I’m on my way to see #hadestown with a bunch of Freemasons. I cannot WAIT for the dinner conversation afterwards. 🌺 #orpheus

I appreciate that Orpheus took one look at hell and went: I can unionize that. #Hadestown

Finally saw #Hadestown tonight and was blown away. Really excellent, and (a rarity for me and musical theater) totally my jam.

I’m glad that a thorough original cast recording exists, but (hot take) I feel like tonight’s performance in Cleveland sounded better.
