hey i'm very scared of i know better so i'm avoiding it on tumblr rn while the ao3 tab stares at me from the top of my screen so i'm in your inbox saying that i saw hadestown on sunday!! (it was amazing we had GREAT seats we were literally in the middle of the front row and i was worried that i'd have certain expectations of their voices and be disappointed after listening to the album so much bc it wouldn't be the same people but i WASN'T they were all absolutely STELLAR and in fact i liked orpheus BETTER than the album (chibueze ihouma was SO good as orpheus that it made me feel bad for the time i made a post saying hadestown would be even better if orpheus and eurydice were lesbians. i was wrong. orpheus can be a woman or chibueze ihuoma those are the two options.) and the staging was beautiful and the show was so good and haunting and aughh) ANYWAY. the POINT IS now my hadestown brainrotting has reached the point where i've started considering other st pairings for hadestown aus. ON TOP of the byler hadestown brainrot being at ASTRONOMICAL levels. i am being insane about hadestown and i am now making it everyone's problem including yours seeing as i'm in your inbox sorry
ok first of all never apologize for coming into my asks ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S ABOUT HADESTOWN???? HELLO????????
i'm so so happy that you enjoyed it!!! my hadestown brainrot was real this year and last, so i ABSOLUTELY GET THIS!!! it's coming on tour close to where i live, and i'm like... what if i just... what if.
also absolutely 100% believe that orpheus and eurydice would be so fun as a sapphic couple. my best friend, who i saw the show with, and i have literally had that same conversation lol!!! that's so cool that the lead was incredible though!!!
also okay i'm going to feed into the brainrot real quick with a couple i've thought of:
jancy - jonathan is eurydice and nancy is orpheus
lumax - max is OBVIOUSLY eurydice and lucas is orpheus
i am constantly thinking about byler hadestown. one of these days. ONE OF THESE DAYS I SWEAR.
