tonight I saw hadestown and was completely blindsided by Hades going "Aaw, it's about me" in a super condescending voice instead of the usual surprised "oh, it's about me" in epic iii

We had tickets to see Hadestown both last night and this afternoon in Albuquerque because the seats were so fucking affordable, like…we got 2 performances, 2 seats each, for what it would cost in any other city to see it just once. Absolutely bonkers.
Last night’s show? Electrifying in a way that the cast combination we saw in Fort Worth (the first time we saw it) just wasn’t. Amaya Braganza (Eurydice), Daniel Tracht (Orpheus), Lana Gordon (Persephone), Matthew Patrick Quinn (Hades), and Will Mann (Hermes) nailed it. 20/10, no notes. IMO, they were better than the original cast recording in every respect, and better than the Fort Worth cast in most respects (Hades was the same in Fort Worth, but every other principal performer has changed since). I’ll never forget it.
Today’s show, same cast? The fire alarm was pulled less than 10 minutes into the show. The net result was the show effectively starting an hour late, and something happened during intermission where one of the Eurydice understudies had to come on unexpectedly for the remainder of the show. The understudy was still excellent, but man, the fire drill really played havoc with the energy.
Last night’s show might be one of the best live performances of anything I’ve ever seen, though. It’s harder to make me cry with music than it used to be, but last night got to me. Hades and Persephone were both crying silently, but so openly during Epic III that you could see their tears hitting the stage.
(It also made me feel really, really fucking justified in what I wrote in that fusion fic earlier this year, because Jesus Christ. The vibe I was aiming for wasn’t 100% in the Fort Worth performance, but it sure as hell was in last night’s and today’s.)
