Looks like most (nearly all?) of the original cast will be returning, with the exception of Colton Ryan, who I imagine is keeping himself busy with film and TV work.
I just hope I'll be able to get back into the city to see this in the fall. My already planned trip for October is the week before this opens....grrrr.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I saw this two nights before Broadway closed. While I personally didn't exactly love the show as a whole, I thought it had some great elements and hands-down some of the most stunning singing I've heard on Broadway in recent years. The London cast recording is fine, but I'm eager for them to finally release the Broadway recording so I can listen to this incredible cast on repeat. I hope the show finds its audience and wish it much success.
It was the last show I saw before the shut down and knew I wanted to see it again before I even left the theater. Glad I got to see Colton Ryan as he was excellent. Enjoyed this show way more than I expected. I do hope that they decided to re-stage the song with the drum set near the edge of stage left. They were so loud they drowned out the rest of the song. I doubt that will happen though. Still an excellent evening of theatre.
I didn't see it but a few clips would suggest he was a little different. Colton was just brilliant in the part when I attended the show, I hope he revisits it someday.
I’m looking forward to this. I did not see it on Broadway before the shutdown, but thought it was terrific at the Public. Loved most of that cast, and glad I had the opportunity to see Harcourt and others. I think the “play with music” was brilliant. Not usually my thing, but I really want to see how it’s changed for a big house.
Well, I finally broke down and bought a ticket for this show. I didn't plan to see it either pre pandemic nor when the Broadway reopens, but watching the videos about the show on YouTube convinced me that it's worth seeing for the music alone. Something tells me I'd regret not seeing it if the show closes too early. Now, if only I can get a great ticket for Hadestown to any September show, I'd be the happiest person ever.
