So glad that I made it back to Hadestown tonight. I just really loved Daniel Breaker and Ali Louis Bourzgui.

Any reports?

A short clip of Jack's "Wait For Me" is making the rounds and WOW.

I was quite impressed. I'm booking tickets to see them again in November because if this is what they are doing now, I cannot imagine how outstanding they will be once they settle in more. 

Wolfe has a divine voice. Truly a perfect fit for Orpheus. I cannot rave enough about this performance and what a fantastic Broadway debut for him. Might be my favorite Orpheus thus far.

Jones is similarly outstanding. If I didn't know any better, I would believe they wrote this part for her. I can't say enough good things

Ellis really wowed me. He strikes a balance between being an everyman Hermes and a god-like Hermes. He is completely captivating on stage, start to finish. I was not familiar with his work before this, but became a fan tonight. Totally wowed by his performance. 

Dudley has a beautiful voice, great chemistry with Wolfe, but is overdoing it, acting-wise. Flat at times. It was not bad for a 3rd performance, but it left something to be desired.

I was a bit disappointed with Szot. I thought he was better in the second act, but his singing in the first act, specifically in Chant, was off last night. 

Overall, I am continually impressed with the casting in this show, and this latest group did not disappoint, even with the last 2. I think I was mostly wanting more from Dudley/Szot because of how truly terrific everyone else was; they just didn't match that. There were flashes of greatness from both, so I have a feeling they will grow into their parts.

It would have been nice to see Breaker and Jones reunited, and  I am sorry I missed him in any event because hes always such a fantastic actor, but I will definitely make my way back to see Jones in this. Ironic that it feels like the part was written for her, since she replaced Amber Grey in Oklahoma the season Hadestown came out.

Run to see this cast!!

 

I went original to (finally) see John Krause as Orpheus. I can finally join the chorus in saying his Orpheus is outstanding and now ranks as my favorite. Smooth vocals, great acting and looked very comfortable in the role despite bouncing in and out of the Broadway show and the (equity) national tour for a few years.

Kurt Selling blew me away as Hermes. Thoroughly impressed with him. Vocally different than any previous Hermes. A mix of country and blues and a hint of rock vocals. Acting wise was also impressive. Emotional, commanding, sensitive. Felt very much a like he was a friendly, nextdoor neighbor type of Hermes. My second favorite Hermes next to Andre. Rebecca was excellent as Persephone.  Very comfortable in the role for it being her third week only. However, her voice did appear to be going out towards the end. Dudley was fine as Eurydice, not great, good vocals, acting was okay. 

Szot was okay was Hades. Definitely the weakest of the new cast members. His voice was muffled at times but was a demanding Hades though. His "Why We Build The Wall" was very powerful.


This ensemble continues to be rock solid. Had four covers on today: Sydney Parra as Fate, with three swings on(Alex Lugo, Tanner Wilson and Brandon Cameron). Shout-out to the producers, casting team and director for continuing to blow us away with their casting picks. Bravo!
