Hadestown Question (Major spoiler)

Yeah, I was in the seat farthest to the right in the back of the orchestra, and I was relieved/confused when I saw him. I could've swore that back in April he walked higher up but I could be wrong.

Last night, he only walked up on the landing and didn't go up the second staircase. I think there is a difference in dramatic impact depending on how close he gets to the exit and am curious if Reeve/Orpheus gets to choose at each performance when the turn is or if there's a set point."



Did you hear that girl loudly and audibly sobbing when Orpheus turned around? I was afraid the audience would start laughing



By the way, the show was astounding as always.

To whom are you referring by "T"?

I’ve seen it twice, and the first time there was a pretty audible gasp from a lot of audience members. Was actually a pretty cool moment. Made it hit harder even though I knew it was coming
