Hadestown - West End - 26/05/2024 Dónal Finn (Orpheus), Madeline Charlemagne (u/s Eurydice), Allie Daniel (Fate), Bella Brown (Fate), Beth Hinton-Lever (u/s Fate), Lauren Azania (Worker), Tiago Dhondt Bamberger (Worker), Lucinda Buckley (Worker Swing), Waylon Jacobs (Worker), Christopher Short (Worker) Do not share outside of Tumblr.

The instrumental at the start is cut off (tumblr limit, sorry!), but Orpheus was literally right in front of my face having a break down so I have to tell you for posterity. When this starts, he kisses his necklace (I'm once again asking what his damn necklace is), staggering and desperately hitting his chest to the sound of the keys, so grievously hurt. You can hear him shushing the Fates before they sing their first 'Where is she now?' here! The stage is so so dark, it really looks like Orpheus is alone here, until Eurydice starts singing with that big bright light, but he keeps on panicking. Madeline does a magical, heartbreaking thing here singing 'Orpheus' before she goes.

Hadestown - West End - 26/05/2024 Dónal Finn (Orpheus), Melanie La Barrie (Hermes), Lauren Azania (Worker), Tiago Dhondt Bamberger (Worker), Lucinda Buckley (Worker Swing), Waylon Jacobs (Worker), Christopher Short (Worker) Do not share outside of Tumblr. This is the very song that sent me 16 hours to London. Dónal plays Orpheus so hurt and angry here, it is genuinely as life changing as I thought it would be in real life, it's all you could ask for in an Orpheus. Melanie carries this production for the entire 2 and a half hours powerfully and I loved all the workers I watched that day, they were all so great. Feel free to yap at me about literally anything Hadestown West End related <3.

The little stomps are Dónal running up from the back of the theatre to get on the stage to Eurydice, one of my favourite little moments in this production. An absolutely life changing 2 and a half hours of my life, let me know any requests for songs or just any thoughts at all <3
