The downside of watching a Broadway musical live after the original cast has left is that if you prefer the new cast's singing you can't find a recording of it
It's especially hard (or rather, downright impossible) to find a recording if the new cast members you prefer are understudies
Anyway, this is me messaging Hadestown to record Brandon Cameron singing Epic III and Yael "Yaya" Reich singing Flowers and them + Lillias White + rest of new cast singing "Wait for me Reprise" because I need them. The recording of the original cast is just not cutting it for me anymore.
So, I saw hadestown on broadway this week and jfc. This is the best thing I've ever seen. Not just theater but ever. I was sobbing a lot of the second act and the whole way back to the hotel. I was supposed to see Eva, but instead saw her understudy, Yael 'Yaya Reich. And they were incredible. Their voice was so unique, and they showed emotion so well. Lilias was also incredible. Wait for me is the most emotional thing, it had me crying and gasping for breath. I was in second row, and when the light swung over my head i started sobbing. During doubt comes in everyone was silent, and then he looked back and people gasped.
Its deffinately my favorite musical, and I will never get over it.

My master. Single track per act. Missing the last reprise after curtain calls because I didn’t know it was coming. Share freely but don’t repost on other platforms. If you list this for trading, please mark as a gift and regift upon request!
In Hadestown news, Yael “YaYa” Reich took to the stage as Eurydice for the first time during a put-in, as did Max Kumangai as Hermes! Max also understudies Hades alongside Alex Puette, who played him for the rehearsal. I love the mix of casual clothes and costumes they have going on!
