As much as I admire this arrangement, the ending of the video leaves a lot to be desired -- thankfully, the end of the linked sheet music actually follows the score (and motifs) more so than this freely "original" adaptation.

It isn't - it's from people that otherwise really enjoyed this arrangement until the artist decided a 12-tone Schoenberg ending was needed. (Which it wasn't.)
I JUST SAW THIS AND ALMOST SCREAMED I GOT HAPPY
Do you have any sheet music for this? I love this so much and my sister would love to learn this!

Thanks so much for making these type videos. Love it!

How to get to Hadestown:
You have to take the long way down
Through the underground, under cover of night
Layin' low, stayin' out of sight
Ain't no compass, brother, ain't no map
Just a telephone wire and a railroad track
Keep on walkin' and don't look back
'Til you get to the bottomland
[ORPHEUS]
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm coming too
[HERMES, spoken]
The River Styx is high and wide
Cinder bricks and razor wire
Walls of iron and concrete
Hound dogs howling 'round the gate
Those dogs'll lay down and play dead
If you got the bones, if you got the bread
But if all you got is your own two legs
Just be glad you got 'em
[ORPHEUS and FATES]
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm coming too
[FATES]
Who are you?
[FATE]
Where do you think you're going?
[FATES]
Who are you?
[FATE]
Why are you all alone?
[FATES]
Who do you-
[FATE]
-Think you are?
[FATES]
Who are you-
[FATE]
-To think that you can walk a road that no one ever walked before?
[ORPHEUS]
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
(the COMPANY begins to echo and do rounds)
[ORPHEUS]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
(HERMES cuts them off)
[HERMES]
You're on the lam, you’re on the run
Don't give your name, you don't have one
And don't look no one in the eye
That town'll try to suck you dry
They'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath
They'll pluck the heart right out your chest
They'll truss you up in your Sunday best
And stuff your mouth with cotton
[ORPHEUS and COMPANY]
Wait for me I'm coming! I'm coming I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you I'm coming
Wait Wait I'm coming for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming!
[COMPANY]
Wait!
[ORPHEUS]
I'm coming wait for me
[COMPANY]
Wait!
[ORPHEUS and HERMES]
I hear the walls repeating
[COMPANY]
Wait!
[ORPHEUS and HERMES]
The falling of my feet and
[ORPHEUS and COMPANY]
It sounds like drumming
[COMPANY]
Wait!
[ORPHEUS and HERMES and Unknown Voice]
And I am not alone
[COMPANY]
Wait!
[ORPHEUS and HERMES, and Unknown Voice]
I hear the rocks and stones
[COMPANY]
Wait!
[ORPHEUS]
Echoing my song
I'm coming!
[HERMES]
Coming...
[COMPANY]
Coming...
