2:46 evas characters tend to say go a lot 🤨 (gatsby reference)

Hats off to you from my ND family that's watching this on repeat. XD

2:03 HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

Orpheus just wanted to write a song, the wife dying part was a failed side-quest he didn't have the attention span for. But he tried to fix it with a deadline. tried...

He’s sooooo charismatic I can totally understand why historically rivers and trees would defy biology and come closer to him to listen to his music. Because he’s super cuteeeeeeee 😭

my oblivious little man i love him. hes just like me frfr

oh so this is why i relate to him so hard

Hadestown's Orpheus was considered unrelatable before they made Reeve into this naive incarnation of the character. Previously Orpheus was acted out more like a hearthrob, so he appeared like a douchebag and an asshole. So this neurodivergent thing made him naive, lovable, and relatable, and inevitably contributed to the show's more mainstream success. Subsequent actors who took on Orpheus' role varied the interpretation, but they held onto this frame. But if you watch all of them, you will really notice that the ones that acted more like a hearthrob became less preferred than the ones with more naivette.

I finally saw this live for the first time yesterday and I'm glad so many other people had the exact same thought as me

Hes just like me fr

The scene where Eurydice goes, “But how’d you get here? On the train?” And he says so bluntly, “No I walked :D”

I started giggling at the "quirked up white boy" caption that phrase will now be entering my daily vocabulary

They are the definition of the "me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic" meme

God I love pathetic autistic musical protagonists (looking at you Orpheus and Paul)

andres LOOK UP tho like boy literally look at the sky

This is so good!

BOY STOP LEAVING YOUR HUSBAND JUST TO DIE BADLY

1:32 hermes look like he saying “what is wrong with this boy?” Zin his head😂😂😂

“You know you’re on the clock, right?” ✨time blindness✨😌

2:29- This caption had me cackling

Nothing’s more attractive to a woman than a “dumb” guy with a heart of gold who can play guitar.

Bro I didnt realize that Orpheus is Nero-divergent too! No wonder I like this musical so much!

I miss Andre shields

Hermes is rhe parent rhats just not sure ehat to do qhen his son is hyperfixating till gis wife dies like stsistsjsbsf

not the Eurydice ableist arc 😭

0:51 when Eva covers the drink- it made me laugh so hard- for no reason!-

Lol I’m glad someone else saw him as autistic, watching and rewatching this musical was so great cus I kept watching it and being like, “Omg!!! He’s like me!!!” Cus I’m also a high-empathy autistic person lol

Low key tho what bootleg did you get this from? Some of the melodies seem a bit different, was it a preview or smth?

Im literally watching this on repeat to copy everything Orpheus does because I'll play him in my schools musical

That’s really interesting- and this was a character choice they developed. The original was a guy with ego and swagger. Nobody found him likable.

I literally just saw this live last night and I kid you not, this man was the most adorable main character I've ever seen 😭

EURYDICE ABLEIST ARC IM KILKING MYSELF RHAGS SO FUNNY

Can you please add the link to the video you used?? It’s good quality

Being Autistic I relate to this dude too much

love this!!! so glad there’s still good hadestown content being made and orpheus is the best ❤️

i absolutely adore reeve’s interpretation. seeing an autistic lead is super awesome, and reeve is the only orpheus that i’ve seen that plays him in this way

ok but this honestly explains the la la la la so much tho

My procrastinating autistic brain needed this. Thank you.

When I went to go see Hadestown on Broadway, I spent a good chunk of the musical just silently going "I do that!!!" at Orpheus. During intermission, my mom told me that she thought Orpheus was definitely Autistic because she could very easily see me doing a lot of the things that he does. Turns out that Reeve Carney actually has diagnosed ADHD and used that to help inform the way he plays Orpheus. Maybe not strictly Autistic Orpheus, but definitely not NT Orpheus. _Every single thing_ about this character makes me feel so incredibly seen, even down to the specific actor that has played him on Broadway since it first opened. This role is why I started thinking I could actually play an instrument, and it's why I started trying to learn guitar back in 2021. If Reeve Carney could learn a whole entire instrument and be a successful actor while having ADHD, then maybe there's hope for me even with my ADHD/Autism diagnosis double-feature.

Is he tho? Or is he an archetype who needs justification for doing something stupid at the end of this story?

NOW THIS IS QUALITY CONTENT

As an autistic person I am a bit offended that people are trying to make autism “cute” and “quirky”. It actually pisses me off so much. And it’s always this community (among others) that do this kind of thing. It’s already frustrating enough to see so many people faking the disorder and /or saying they wish they had autism. I just wish people would stop romanticizing autism along with other disorders such as adhd and did. I’ve said my piece and maybe some people will come argue because they think its not a big deal. Or maybe they want to argue that it’s just a joke. Maybe I’m overreacting, but this still made me upset. I doubt many people will see this, but I just needed to rant about this.

Currently in my Hadestown hyperfixation so this is perfect

I’ve heard that Reeve Carney himself has said that he thinks Orpheus has autism. All we need is now is for Anaïs Mitchell to confirm it, and I can die a happy autistic person.

i wish i could like a video more than once. agreed with every single statement

I just saw it as someone that was nervous

I haven’t gotten into Hadestown yet but i see “is autistic” in any title and here I am

ok but it makes me a lil teary eyed to think abt how this character, who may not have been written with the intention of him being neurodivergent but can definitively be seen that way, is described as “touched by the gods themselves” like DAMN🥹

What bootleg are the clips from

every time orpheus is neurodivergent so basically the whole musical? Edit: who else is back here today after they announced that reeve is leaving?
