Finally made it to New York for our first Broadway show! Hadestown made me cry (even knowing the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice going in). Talented cast, musicians, staging… gorgeous!

Sorry @dabbe ! Apparently, I am incapable of following directions for this #threelistthursday #tlt I am addicted to movie scores: Pacific Rim, Captain America: Winter Soldier, and X-Men First Class are some of the best, but I had to throw in Jane Eyre, in case someone needed something a little more soothing. 😂 Cats was the first musical I fell in love with, Hamilton is amazing, and Hadestown is my latest Broadway obsession.

DGRachel Also, honorable mention to Phantom of the Opera‘s Broadway cast and the scores for Pirates of the Caribbean and Wonder Woman. 🎶🎶🎶 (And my Cats obsession is with the London cast or at least Elaine Paige. Such a beautiful voice!) (edited) 4mo

dabbe INCREDIBLE choices! I adore Elaine Paige, too! And you make me want to watch some more musicals! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🖤🎶🖤 4mo

Didn't post this week's #bannedbooksunday because I was spending the day seeing this marvelous production of Hadestown with friends. 10/10 this Broadway show is a must see in my book

Tonight‘s #Scarathlon viewing: my third trip to the Underground via the Hadestown musical on Broadway! A friend scored 3rd row orchestra tickets in the lottery and I was so excited to see Betty Who in her b‘way debut! 💐✨🍷🌹 One of the best music books‘ on Broadway right now for sure. 🎭

Melismatic @FlynnDewey so good! One of my all time faves! 2y

TieDyeDude OMG! I love that soundtrack. I really wanted to see the tour last year in Colorado, but it didn't work out. I don't think productions tour to Alaska, so 😞 Glad you enjoyed it!!! 2y

Seeing this live on Broadway (mere months before the pandemic shut it down for almost 2 years) was truly incredible - in fact I believe it was their first performance after winning a Grammy. Picked up the lyrics book at a shop in Midtown a few weeks back when I made my first return trip to Broadway. 🥀

Suet624 I was able to watch this from its inception in Vermont on a tiny handcrafted stage, then I saw it Off Broadway. It‘s spectacular and Anais Mitchell‘s singing is always beautiful to listen to. I always get teary when I hear Why We Build The Wall. It‘s so powerful. https://youtu.be/LBGUqMyyvnI 4y

Melismatic @Suet624 incredible! 💕 4y

One of my favorite musicals, the music and story are phenomenal and I can only hope some day I get to see this show live. That‘d be a dream come true.
