Day 15 of Sirentober / Doctober
Orpheus / Wait
I was originally going to draw the off-broadway Hadestown Orpheus and Eurydice but just like the doubt, the brainrot came in and demanded I draw the lawyers
AND SO I ENDED UP DOING A DOODLE PAGE HEHE
I’ve only ever listened to the off-broadway and the original concept album bc my sister got me into Hadestown back in like 2018
There’s so many lines where I’m just like “!!!! THAT WORKS SO WELLLLL” like fr?? I have many many thoughts
For the fates, I couldn’t decide between Dahlia or Iris, but I ended up going with Dahlia
ALSO THE TOP OF MILES’S SHIRT AND HIS SKIRT BEING THE CRAVAT 🤭🤭🤭
AND GODOT TELLING PHOENIX HE CAME BACK FROM HELL TO FIGHT HIM SO HIM BEING THE KING OF THE UNDERWORLD HEHEHEHEH
AND THE NEON LIGHTS WOULD BE LIKE HIS MASK AND AND AND
Sorry I have many thoughts :))

oh my god
i was thinking about "youre early" / "i missed you" AGAIN and. it was hades n persephones first interaction of the show but it was orpheus n eurydices last (as per nytw. will never get over hadestown bway not including this exchange)
and the tone is so incredibly different for both of them because hades n persephones seems light n kinda humorous while orpheus n eurydices is. they get a second before shes gone again. what hes defending is already gone. god. fuck. the way both pairs parallel each other while having this stark contrast. the way orpheus n eurydice lose each other (again) just when hades n persephone find each other (again). the horrors are never ending i will never stop crying about this holy fucking shit

“Young man, I was young once too - sang a song of love like you.”
“I know how it was because he was like me - a man in love with a woman.”
.

I love a lot of things about the lighting in Hadestown but one of my favorites is the use of color. Orange for the way the world is, blue for the way the world could be.

🌟CASTING MY MUTUALS IN HADESTOWN!🌟
Why? Because I feel like it! 😂
Orpheus:
Sequoia (@flowers-floating-in-space, top)
Songbird (@deadboywalking227, middle)
Eden (@songboylyric, bottom)
Nicholas Barasch as Orpheus in the picture. (National Tour)
Reasons for Hibiscus: You give me those ethereal flowery vibes that Orpheus has! /pos
Reasons for Serenade: One of your names is literally Songbird. Nuff said. (Though admittedly the songbird is technically Eurydice in the show, the HT Instagram sometimes refers to Orpheus as a songbird.)
Reasons for Eden: I don't know, you just give me Orpheus vibes- /pos
Eurydice:
Mischa (@that-f-cked-up-bitch, top)
Natalia (@nats-comet, middle)
Ivory (@https-envy, bottom)
Amaya Braganza as Eurydice in the picture. (National Tour)
Reasons for Sydney: I just know you'd be a great Eurydice. How? I don't know! but I do XD
Reasons for Natalia: You have no idea how badly I need a Talia-ified version of "Flowers" and/or "All I've Ever Known". I just know you'd kill it /pos
Reasons for Ivory: You vaguely remind me of her and also I think you'd play up the scrappy/somewhat chaotic aspect of Eurydice's character in a super fun way.
Hermes:
Vellichor (@p-3-t-r-1-ch-0-r)
André de Shields as Hermes in the picture. (Broadway)
Reasons: You are the cryptid, British, and affectionately bloodthirsty (/pos) Hermes that the world needs!
Persephone:
Zeep (@ziipzeepzop-eez)
Jewelle Blackman as Persephone in the picture. (Broadway)
Reasons: You're both altos, and both of you have motherly/wine aunt energy! That's reason enough XD (when a zeep-ified version of "our lady of the underground" is brought into the world, i can die happy)
Hades:
Cipher (@cipher-of-the-round-table)
Phillip Boykin as Hades in the picture. (Broadway)
Reasons: You just give me Hades vibes! I dunno!
The Fates:
Starling (@word-to-the-wise, left)
Charolette (@meowydoe, middle)
Satanic (@satanic-witchcraft, right)
Dominique Kempf, Nyla Watson and Belén Moyano as The Fates in the picture. (National Tour)
Reasons for Piper: I feel like you'd have an absolute blast during When the Chips Are Down. Also a pink-haired Fate? Yes please!!
Reasons for Ginger: You'd be the most fun devious Fate ever (you'd be the one who's always waving at eurydice)
Reasons for Satanic: Satanic-ified version of "Nothing Changes"? Hell. Yes.

the beauty in hadestown shines so many times, but that bit in epic iii when everyone is singing in this beautiful harmony and orpheus is bringing love back to hades never fails to bring so much emotion into me because it’s so beautiful and so meaningful
