The actress playing Hermes fucking KILLS

[jillianjacinto]

Shoutout to Grace Hodgett-Young (Eurydice). She pulling double duty. Because not only she had a cameo in Sunset Boulevard performance with Tom, she was also nominated and still had to perform with her current show Hadestown. Good for her :)

[DiWriter]

Carribbean Hermes is just *chef's kiss*

[moviefreak]

Each character has special moments of delivery, and it is amazing to see and hear. From Persephone’s delivery of “you let them go” with hades, to the Fates (special shoutout to the 3rd fate who sings the part so hauntingly and powerful), to Hermes who I could listen deliver any of their lines with such conviction, to the hope in Orpheus’s hope. It really is amazing

[LuanneXuan]

Irish Orpheus is just so perfect to me

[robertmolnar]

To the people saying he was weak for turning back: this is Orpheus. If he wasn't the kind of person who would turn back to make sure Euridice was walking with him, he wouldn't be the kind of person who goes down to Hell to get their love back. This wasn't a test. Hades always knew he would turn around. That is just the hopeless romantic he is. He was never going to be able to save her :(

[angelicatiffanygarcia]

Hermes deserves an award, I love the delivery so much

[meganhash]

Everything about this is phenomenal, but one thing that stood out was how *hopeful* Orpheus seems here. It makes Doubt Comes In hit different, because we see him start out with the same hope he had in the first version of Wait For Me, only for it to be crushed when doubt does eventually come in.

[NeverEverWatchThis]

The pure diversity of the people in this show is insane. Jamaican, Irish, British, Mexican, African, a person without an arm, a trans person, and so much more.

[kgal]

I will always love the line:
"The dog you really got to dread
Is the one that howls inside your head
It's him whose howling drives men mad
And a mind to its undoing"

It's not only the general foreshadowing, but also just how true that line is for people.

[Nygeld]

mama Hermes really fucks me up every time she speaks. My GOD

[christinemarquez]

this west end cast might be my fave after the original. the accents add SO MUCH to the show wow

[togapast]

Saw this in the West End about three weeks ago. Got out of the theatre and immediately bought tickets to see it again. I just can't get over it.

[ktmac]

I'm trying to articulate and understand why an Irish Orpheus makes *so much sense*.

[ellien-w]

Saw this on Friday and the casting is just impeccable. Hades in particular was phenomenal I honestly couldn’t imagine a better one. But everyone was phenomenal. The production was beautiful too. I want to go again so bad. This cast is incredible.

[allisonbergh]

The west end knocks it out the park with casting

[bartvos]

Melanie La Barrie scares me. In a good way.

[niknaksim]

I watched this a few weeks ago and Eurydice was an understudy (she is playing the second fate in this clip) and I honestly could not tell one bit until I was looking closely at the program later. I cannot believe this didnt dominate the Oliviers this year, I saw only one nomination. It is hands down the best theatre I have ever seen, even my partner who is not bothered by musicals was blown away enough that he wants to see it again with better seats.

[Ry-Ga]

that alto as the fate ate so fucking hard like omfg that note that she hit had me shaking omg this is amazing <3

[del_]

you guys need to know this persephone is the absolute best, seen her as persephone twice now and she blew me away both times, absolutely incredible! show stealer for sure
