Best Broadway Cast Recording of 2019? Dec 10 2019, 05:31:06 AM
Far and away Hadestown. It's my fave musical in years, and I feel the album genuinely captures the feeling of seeing it live, including:
-The intros to All I've Ever Known, When the Chips are Down and Wait For Me, and the outro to Why Do We Build the Wall?
-The sublime transition from Epic II into Chant
-The escalation within Chant in general
-The way the Fates and the 3x Epics weave in and out to create narrative threads beyond the standard use
