I saw Brit on tour as Persephone and she was fantastic. I’m glad she’s continuing with the show."

Looks like part of a Fate costume."

Yep, looks like it. Maybe she’s joining as a Fate and Persephone u/s

Has anyone seen this recently? Is it in good shape?

Not sure, but they still sell SRO even if the show isn't 100% soldout.

Isn’t it weird replacements haven’t been announced? Tom and Lillias are leaving this sunday right?

I wonder if Jewelle's replacement will be Lana Gordon?

I think it keeps going until the end of the year. It's unfathomable that they (again) are having difficulty finding a Hermes replacement.

Mr. Wormwood said: "I wonder if the vague extension means there will be a closing announcement soon and Lillias is staying until then? I could see them winding this show down at the end of summer/early fall."

Y’all think Hadestown is closing because someone on YouTube or TikTok posted a rumor he made up? Must be so gullible and believe everything you hear on the internet. Hadestown is still profiting from ticket sales and seating 90-100% capacity each week.

I wonder if Eddie Noel Rodriguez from the tour will be the new Hades. He was a Worker who covered Hades/Hermes. Then he left his role as Worker but stayed with the tour a while to cover the principals. And even when the tour cast was really short on cast members (one day they went on with only 4 Workers), he didn't go on as Worker even though he was still there. I thought maybe they were gearing up for a Hermes or Hades tour cast change, but maybe he's joining the Broadway cast

IDK, adding 3+ months to your contract to go to closing seems like a long to me. If she was originally leaving in August and announced she was staying through Labor Day, that would be different.

I take it Tom has stayed as well?

Gosh why is their casting stuff always so strange?

And still no word on who is replacing Jewelle and Tom starting next week?

I'll guess and say that's probably how long Lillias will be with the show, too. I hope they're not having issues finding replacements for those three leads.
