Thinking about in Hadestown how it is highly like Orpheus walked for days/weeks to get to Eurydice.
With the idea of the train taking people to Hadestown and Hermes saying "Through the underground, under cover of night
Layin' low, stayin' out of sight" implies that he could only do the walk at night. If this was a walk that took a few hours at most then why would it be mentioned. Orpheus at the beginning of act 2 looks exhausted. His clothes are ripped but he is absolutely overjoyed he has made it. That he's there. Walking into Hell is not an easy task and hes done it.
Which makes Doubt Comes In even more painful. If it takes a number of days or weeks for this walk and they have to keep walking then hes spending hours upon hours not being able to check that Eurydice is behind him and having The Fates cast doubt that she's not there. That he's not worthy. Anyone would turn around after being subjected to that.
THEY,, THEY WROTE A HAPPY ENDING FOR REEVE’S FINAL SHOW?? AND THEY PERFORMED IT DURING CURTAIN CALL AND AND HIM AND EVA WENT THROUGH THE DOOR TOGETHER?? AND HE DIDN’T TURN BACK?? HE DIDN’T TURN BACK
what do you mean that at reeve's last show the principal obc was there and they gave orpheus and eurydice an alternate ending by having reeve and eva walk out of hadestown up the golden staircase?? what do you mean?????!!!!??
