New Hadestown Casting — Page 5

After seeing the tour last week, I have been thinking about which role is harder to cast: Orpheus or Eurydice?

Despite the criticisms many had for him, Carney brought a certain charisma to the role that I just didn't get from the actor playing the role currently on the tour - even though he could sing the role fine. While the tour Eurydice was as excellent as Noblezada.

Are Eurydice's songs just so excellent that they elevate whoever is performing them? And also, is the music written for Eurydice more accessible for many singers? I don't know the technical terms, but maybe in the right keys or whatever that many singers can tackle those songs successfully?

While for Orpheus's music it may be more difficult to find singers who can successfully sing the music, since so much of it seems to have so many high notes?

Eh, it's a good paycheck and was a chance for her to work on Broadway for the first time and dip her feet into NY theatre.

If this is the same Zachary James who is singing his face off in Spain off bway right now, very talented guy.

Anyone attending Reeve's final performance today?

Yes. The opera singer.

Enjoy Jordan tonight for it may be the only time he turns up for work! ;)

He couldn't handle the Sweeney score nor could he handle Dear Evan Hansen 8 or even 7 or even 6 or even 5 times a week. Sometimes screen actors shouldn't be on stage, it take a specific level of endurance which he's proven he does not have on many many occasions (including when he was in Hamilton, not carrying a full show).

I would love to see you have perfect attendance during your contract with a show. And if you manage it please-share your secret

I neither like or dislike Jordan. Found him serviceable in ST.



However, people talking about his attendance record isn't out of left field. He misses a LOT of performances - as evidence by his track record. MIGHT it be different? Sure. But people are judged by their actions. What's that saying? Believe people the first time they show you who they are.

Well you won’t see me do that because I cannot. And nor can Jordan Fisher. It’s not controversial to say the dude doesn’t have the stamina. He’s proven it with every new job he takes. It’s just a fact.

Based on these Wait for Me clips, he won’t be long before missing shows here too. He’s already in shouting territory.
