New Hadestown Casting — Page 4

PipingHotPiccolo said: "I get it: i thought Carney was doing interesting work at first, but my return visit confirmed what everyone else had said-- strained voice, bored, disjointed performance. Im excited to see whoever replaces him. But we keep seeing this attitude of "when will XYZ leave already!" from the tiny tiny minority of repeat viewers, who seem to think they are owed new performers on a regular basis."

I don't see this at all... no one complained about Eva, and she only left a month ago, or so. Or any of the original cast of Come from Away. In fact, I can't remember this conversation happening with any sort of regularity or consistency for anyone else that's played a role long term. (Or at all tbh) It's quite specific about one actor that many people found to be less than stellar, including you. 

PipingHotPiccolo said: "Jordan Fisher would actually make a great Orpheus, his attendance record notwithstanding, but i think this was suggested in jest.

The responses here to Carney's departure are disappointing, and typical of the way many here operate in an insane bubble on these boards. Y'all are just frustrated that Carney hasn't moved on on the timetable you'd prefer.

Everything has to be done according to the way people on these boards want them. Didn't you know that? Teehee. 

 

Oh god no not Brendan. Did we learn nothing from when he was in Kinky Boots? It would be a nightmare

I wish this had happened last year but now I think they need a bigger name to boost box office. Besides isn't he attached to The Lonely Few?

Through in Chris Sullivan as Hermes and you got a deal"

YES and he'll sell tickets but he probably doesn't want to replace.

I went to SWEENEY a few weeks ago, and was really disappointed by his performance and especially the lackluster vocals. The rest of the cast is so strong, that he really stands out as a weak link. I recall thinking that the producers could find 20 better actor/singers at Julliard any day of the week."

 

Fisher's final performance was on June 18th -- so if you went just a few weeks ago you didn't see him -- you saw somebody else.

 

I've heard Ani DeFranco is the next Persephone which I personally, am very excited for

Oh gosh — you are right. I saw Daniel Yearwood and did not care for him. My earlier comment even more puzzling then: this should be an easy role to cast  

 

I’ve seen three shows since seeing this on Wednesday but I still can’t get Solea’s Eurydice out of my mind. 

straight off the National tour, Belen Moyano (Fate, Eurydice US) will be making Broadway debut as a Fate starting October 19th!

I saw the show for the first time on Friday night after winning the lottery with Brit West on as Persephone and it was such an amazing experience. You can tell Reeve has been doing it for a long time, but I still found him enjoyable. I was Row C Left Orchestra and from my seat you can't actually see the turn tables which honestly made it very ethereal in how they all moved. 

I saw people saying Jordan Luke Gage being involved

The outline for Hermes looks very similar to an actress playing a nurse on Broadway right now… any other guesses?"

That looks like brian may from queen tf you mean
