#Doubt Comes In

[epicthemusicalstuff]

Orpheus and Odysseus looking at each other as they venture through the underworld for different reasons

They both are doing this for their wives and to get them back/get back to them though so-

#The real reason Orpheus looked back was because he was confused by Odysseus and his crew #Epic the musical #hadestown #orpheus #odysseus #doubt comes in #epic the underworld saga

“Why doesn’t Orpheus just play Marco Polo?”

He fucking does!! I’m talking specifically Hadestown context here. Doubt comes in. Orpheus is constantly doing his “La La la’s” and is waiting for a response. Usually he sings and the world sings back, here he would be waiting for some sort of sign from eurydice but he can’t hear her— no one/nothing responds. He is doing a call and response like Marco Polo but not getting a answer and it’s not like he can turn around to check (both for obvious reasons and likely because she’d be pretty far back)

You ever think about the fact that ultimately it’s the fact that Orpheus “used to see the way the world could be - but now the way it is is all [he] see[s]” is what ultimatley lead to him turning around?

It was him losing his hope for / vision of the world changing for rhe better that leads to his and Eurydice’s demise. It’s him being unable to see anything but the state of the world as it is now, that despairs him

#yes I did start to cry listening to Doubt comes in #feeling very normal about this musical - thanks for asking😌 #hadestown musical #hadestown #eurydice #orpheus #doubt comes in

Ok this isnt going to be put eloquently at all but

Doubt Comes In

Hurts

Through the entire show everytime Orpheus sings his lil la la la la la la there is is glorious echo, this support from the orchestra and the ensemble *but now* Orpheus is alone. Obviously we as the audience knows thats hes not - not really - but we also know the story. We know he turns around we know he thinks hes alone but we feel it with this lack of support weve always been told met with. And then flip the script and now Eurydice has the backing becuase she has the support of the other workers but its so satisfying becuase the whole show Eurydice has been singing solo against the fates but just ahshshshahhshsh its so heartbreaking and

I need Hadestown “Doubt Comes In” choreography based on the retelling of the myth where the reason Orpheus turns around is he hears Eurydice trip and turns around to help her up. Eurydice can’t finish her lyric of “Of the darkest night / Comes right before the --” because she trips, and the dead silence comes when Orpheus turns around and finds her on the ground. 

The absolute pain because not only did he turn around right before they were home free, but because he now can’t help her get back to her feet because he can no longer be with her. It shows to the both of them (and the audience) that not only was she there the whole time, but that he truly does what he does out of love: his love for Eurydice.

I think the most gut-wrenching line in hadestown is "I used to see the way the world could be, but now the way it is is all I see" (sung by oprheus in doubt comes in). like this used to be a lovely, imaginative young boy who saw the best in everything, and now that has been taken from him and I think its just so sad

I just had another Hadestown thought, because I am so normal about this musical.

The fact that Orpheus turns around shows that he had the potential to become just like Hades. In Epic II Orpheus sings about how Hades feared that Persephone would never come back to the underworld when she was on the surface and that’s what fueled his paranoia and jealousy. Then in Doubt Comes In, part of the reason Orpheus turns around is because he doesn’t trust Eurydice enough to believe she will follow him back out into the cold and dark instead of staying in Hadestown where she’s guaranteed to be provided for.

the original Doubt Comes In will always hold a wonderful place in my heart. the percussion, the eerie silence, the drums that continue even after eurydice's second death... divine

listening to Hadestown for the first time in a while and i forgot how wonderful and soul aching it is

i feel like it’s fitting that it started raining almost as soon as i started listening to it

it’s so soulful yet joyful at the same time

The uplifting version-

I’ve been trying not to share to much from working on a song, it’s a fantastic read and I want to let you guys discover stuff for yourself. What I can’t not share is this— it a early version of doubt comes in (i don’t think it was ever used) and it’s much more positive and for that it hurts more.

I like how he starts very positive, his faith is strong in Eurydice and the world. But as he presses on the fates force this from him, acting sort of as those intrusive doubtful thoughts they do though other versions.

What also hurts is that it’s very reminiscent of the form of the myth where Orpheus makes it but she doesn’t. He makes it fully into the sunshine and is so overwhelmed by that excitement and relief that he turns to embrace her not knowing she’s yet to step over the threshold. OW.

“l who am I to think that he wouldn’t deceive just to make me leave alone?”

When I went to see Hadest̶o̶w̶n̶tour I was so amazed by the tech it’s absolutely insane, and I also got some pretty good seats so the  visuals were top-tier 🤌 though I still think that wait for me/reprise ver are still the best parts of the musical doubt comes in hits completely different when you see it in person

Also we should normalize calling the Hadestown tour version Hadestour
