This includes zero vacation days - I wonder if he has a trip coming up soon? He’d probably want to vacation with Eva, but it could be tricky having them both out at the same time. Although, Mean Girls has given Erika Henningson & Kyle Selig two weeks off at the same time, so it’s possible."

Why would Reeve want to vacation with Eva? I'm a newbie, so please excuse if this is a stupid question."

They're dating"

Isn't Eva married to someone else?

They split a few months before Hadestown transferred to broadway.

Eva posted on Twitter less than an hour ago to "watch this space" so I'm wondering if an announcement is coming re: Hadestown or some other gig she has gotten.

Any known cast vacations this coming week? Looking at getting tickets on 2/11 and am hoping to see Eva and Amber especially. I know nothing is ever guaranteed but on the off chance they are schedule to be out...just wanted to check!

Wondering if anyone knows where/whether scheduled absences of the principal players are  posted. Saw Hadestown for the first time Jan 25. André de Shields was out. Show was great, don’t know why I waited so long. Would like to see the OBC before they start to move on but am not planning to make the cross country trip back to NYC until the end of May. I went to the box office the next day and asked about posting of vacations, etc, and was told “all cast members are scheduled for all performances.”  Almost a year in, you would think there are days off here and there. Any tips? I don’t see this info on the show’s website. Maybe performer’s social media, eg Eva Twitter? Are they taking the approach that the show is the star?

I forgot the exact dates, but Reeve will be in Italy for a week in April for a concert, I believe.

I would give my left leg for Terrence Mann as Hades and Heather Headley as Persephone

Reeve is scheduled to be in Italy May 13-17 for a Supernatural convention. 

 

Eva and Andre are both scheduled to perform at The Cabaret in Indianapolis. 

-Eva is scheduled to perform April 25th. 

-Andre De Schields is scheduled to perform on May 15-16 and performing his show ‘Old Dawg, New Tricks’. He recently performed this show at the Lincoln Center and took off almost a week to rehearse and prepare.

 

Remember that just because they are scheduled to perform on or around those dates, they may cancel. Reeve cancelled his appearance at the same Supernatural convention in 2019 because of Hadestown opening around the same time.

Saw the Sunday matinee yesterday. This was my second time seeing the show. Saw the show last May with my daughter and the OBC. Brought my wife this time. Amber Gray was out. 

I was a huge fan of her performance, and for me the highlight of the show. My wife went to find our seats and when I met her she said Persephone was out. My heart sank. From the first entrance, I knew this was going to be a different interpretation. All of Persephone's enthusiasm and sass were muted. I missed the vocal choices as well. The chemistry with Hades was still there, but not as strong. I'm guessing the way Amber embodied the role stuck with me more than I realized. It certainly did not take away from my enjoyment of the show. It just felt like something was missing. I also wished my wife could have seen her performance.

On a brighter note, Eva blew me away. She has really grown in to the character and her vocals were amazing. I don't remember her performance being that awesome the last time. The show stands on its' own, but I'm glad I had a chance to see the OBC. It should be interesting to see how the show changes as cast members are replaced.

Saw the show tonight. Gray and Page were both out with Marable and Reid on instead. I have nothing to compare them to in live performance but I thought both were excellent. I’ve seen Gray before in Comet and can imagine how the character would have been amped up but I thought Marable was quite good in the role. A swing was on for one of the Fates and both female workers were out as well. Still, the show was fantastic. De Shields is one heck of a performer.

I can help explain why so many people were out! 

I don’t know why Patrick Page was out but Amber Grey was and is still sick. She was out Thursday, Friday night, was in the Sat matinee (I was there), and called out Saturday night and Sunday matinee. So being out Tuesday she must still be sick. At the Saturday matinee, she ran off stage for a few minutes only to return just in time for Wait for Me 2 to begin. 
 

That said- Jessie Shelton was on for Kay. Kay was also sick Saturday so I’m guessing that’s why she was out today. 

The two worker girls were out. Yes. Afra Hines (Worker 2) just left this weekend to begin her leave and Kimberly Marable (Worker 1) was your Persephone tonight. Damani and Khaila covered the worker tracks.

While I doubt his return to Broadway would be playing a (large) supporting role as a replacement, I think Brian Stokes Mitchell could be a brilliant Hades.

Did you get any answers ? I want to see the show Tuesday February 25 but really want to know if Amber Gray will be there . I just spent 30 minutes on hold with Ticketmaster and the guy said he couldn’t find any show called Hadestown !! Really ???

Amber Gray was in the show on Wednesday, if that’s of any help!

Id love to see Gerard Canonico as Orpheus. While I didn’t like Be More Chill I truly thought he was spectacular in that and would love to see his talents used elsewhere

Yup, all of the leads are departing the show.

That doesn't in any way mean they're leaving the show.  Broadway productions constantly have EPAs for future replacements, even if they're not actually actively seeking anyone to step in at that exact moment.  Some of the leads could still be leaving--I'm not at all saying that they for sure are not--but this is a pretty standard casting call that shouldn't at all imply they're leaving the show.

Isn’t it some equity rule that shows have to put out casting calls every 6 months even when they aren’t looking for replacements?

I'm not certain of the exact terms, but yes, there is a rule that shows have to hold an EPA every so often. Either way, any long running show will want to do this in the event they need an emergency replacement they can call up (rather than starting the whole casting process only after someone leaves or announces they're leaving). And they can also staff the tour with this--yes, this call is for the Broadway production, but they can easily call up anyone they like and say "Hey, there's no opening in the Broadway company right now, but would you consider touring?"

The EPA role breakdowns each say, “An offer is out for this role,” which probably means all the principals have been asked to stay but have not officially signed yet.

Khalia posted she will be on as Eurydice with another Orpheus March 12-15th. Anyone know when Eva and Reeve will return? Thanks!

I wonder who is playing Orpheus...Anthony or John? I'd love to see either but am really hoping to see John...
