She did in the past! She did the Hadestown Sunday matinee then went over to Green Room 42 after."

I'm surprised! I thought she would've been needing vocal rest between performances. Glad to know she'll be doing them (hopefully)!

Do we know if Reeve is leaving the company in December? His Wikipedia says he might been leaving in 2021.

I did check that premier date is November 24. I’m going to hope that is why Trent is rehearsing and that there wouldn’t be a change made this quickly before Nov 4. I was worried about him being out for filming of the Jeff Buckley bio but haven’t seen any news on that.

House of Gucci press screening is Nov 4. Ugh I wonder if that means Reeve may be out that night. Should I be nervous, switch my tickets to Nov 6 perhaps. Grrr. Not sure how press screening works and if actors are present for that somewhere or not. But John was so happy about going on that I figure by now he would have announced if he had that date too.

I'm missing Lana's first performance but assuming she's performing on Tuesdays, she'll be in when Patrick Page returns (unless she switches with Amber specifically for Patrick's re-debut or something weird like that), and I'm seeing his return. But I'd love to try to catch Trent's first performance!"

Trent is going to portray Hermes (understudy) and Orpheus (understudy)

Lana performed on the dates of October 29 and October 30 as Persephone! 

Jewelle will be performing as Persephone today!!

Do we have any idea when Reeve will start filming the Jeff Buckley bio?

Has Tom Hewitt missed any shows/does anyone know of any upcoming understudy performances? I know it's down to the wire, but I'm going to try to see him in one of his last performances (which I guess is all of them now).

Jewelle is going on as Persephone for both shows tomorrow as well as Friday’s show.

I saw the show last night and was very happy to get to see Eva, Reeve, Andre, Lana and Tom! I thought Lana and Tom were amazing and it was fun to hear voices different than the ones I’ve heard on the cast recording so many times. Eva’s “Flowers” brought me to tears which surprised me since it isn’t one of my favorite songs. Her performance was just amazing. Best show I’ve seen yet!!!! I have to comment on how amazing Jewelle is and I saw Khaila as a fate too and thought she was amazing as well!!! I could see it again and again! I envy you that are a train ride away!

So there’s three spots in Hadestown where I lose interest in the show and Flowers is one of them. I kind of sit and let my thoughts wonder…

But, being a train ride away does have its pros and cons. Amtrak is very unreliable, often delays (minutes to hours), engine failures, or sometimes just doesn’t show up to your stop. But when it does arrive on time, you get the quiet car AND don’t have to share a seat, the train is peaceful, and getting to NYC in 2 hrs is wonderful.

John Krause left the show. Tim Hughes posted about how it was his last day. Trent Saunders is going to replace him, I think.

I guess when he wrote “one night only” as his Orpheus night he wasn’t joking…

He didn’t know at the time. This was a recent decision.

Too bad as I was looking forward to catching John during his next Orpheus show.

And she gets to go on with Patrick Page, who's back in the cast tonight! 

Anyone heading way down tonight, LMK if there is a nice ovation after that first "I MISSED YA."

THIS THIS THIS YES PLEASE. I’m sure Patrick is full of emotions and will just take in that applause for a few seconds after that line. It’s like Glinda’s “it’s good to see me, isn’t it?”.!

Not sure if anyone cares about the tour understudies but Will Mann found out today this his first performance as Hermes is tomorrow so I just bought a ticket. I’ll start the long drive from Philly to Boston early in the morning. 

[adotburr]

Posted: 11/9/21 at 6:17pm

Wow! That’s a long drive too!! Please report back!
 

Are you seeing the show in Philly? I have tickets for one of weekend matinees! Can’t wait to see the tour cast but also secretly wishing Kimberly Marable isn’t out the day we go- would love to see her as Persephone again!! 

[Alexander Lamar]

Posted: 11/9/21 at 6:21pm

Yes I’m seeing the show in Philly at least twice (hopefully more) although by the time the tour gets there I will have moved to NYC. 

[adotburr]

Posted: 11/9/21 at 6:35pm

Oh congrats on the move! Very much looking forward to the tour! Please report back tomorrow!

[Markecib]

Posted: 11/9/21 at 7:04pm

Yay, I have a ticket for Thursday, can’t wait to see her in the role!

Speaking of tour understudies, Chibueze Ihuoma has gone on for Nick Barasch as Orpheus a few times now. Will Mann posted a video of him and Morgan Siobhan Green singing Wedding Song and another of a bit of Epic I at sound check in Boston and he sounded great.
