I've seen people compare Jordan and Reeve a lot on social media. But these two play the character so differently it's honestly lovely. Reeve had an airy vocal for Orpheus, making it feel floaty and other worldly. Giving his portrayal a light hearted, lover boy image. Jordan has a earthy, darker vocal (at least in this clip) and it gives his Orpheus a more tortured artist feel. Pulling you into the pain he's feeling about losing his love. A heartbroken widow.
Part of that is due to Jordan Fisher being a baritone. His voice is naturally heavier and darker than a tenor. However, this also leads to baritones having stronger vocals when using their falsetto.
So um, Comparing these two is ABSOLUTELY what we should do. JF is not a tenor, he's a baritone making it WAY harder for him to do this stuff. Reeve is a super clean tenor who has no trouble going high. I'm honestly getting star casting vibes from this one. It takes different PRODUCTIONS to say we shouldn't compare. We shouldn't judge one Emcee in cabaret over another because they shape the production and if you put Alan Cumming in '68 it would mess up the rest of the show. Mr. Fisher is joining a production, while he should have his own take he doesn't get to change the story around it. If he's really going for a, "Tortured artist feel" that CHANGES the story. Idk man, that's my two cents, hope you're well.
I just the show for the first time this past weekend, it was Reeve Carney’s last show - sad to have missed him play this role with Eva! Solea as Eurydice def stole the show. I felt she was a mismatch with Reeve who had the airy and innocent vocals. Jordan and Solea, though. Will be straight up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw Reeve and Eva and original cast twice, Eva once without him wasn't the same. I would absolutely love to see Jordan in this role too, his voice is insane. The thing about Reeve though, he is so naturally a guitar player too that it is just an extension of his arm. The show is amazing even on the road it was wonderful. I listened to the London cast long before we anxiously awaited its Broadway debut. Can't miss with Hadestown!
personally I feel like Anthony in Sweeney Todd was a miscast for him, but he is MUCH more suited for Orpheus and I'm glad he's getting so long in the roll
I *need* someone to put Jordan in an original production of *literally anything*. He deserves to be nominated and recording. I've seen him on Broadway twice and the man does not disappoint.
just saw this cast today (Lillias white's last hadwstown show 😢) and I 100% agree, they should have given them a recording for this cast, Jordan and Lillias especially
Absolutely BEGGING YOU, Hadestown, to release a studio recording with this current main cast. They are phenomenal and everyone deserves to experience them!!
Yes!!! I saw him and Solea Pfeiffer last December and the riff he had on stones sold me if his performance until then hadn't already. It's a very small part but I just love what he did with it there.
Wow - having seen Jordan in other Broadway roles, what I was NOT expecting was for this to be bordering on a rock vocal. Took me by surprise and I absolutely LOVE it.
jordan was one of the absolute best people you could have casted for this role. You saw an opportunity and you took it. he sounds absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!
This is honestly the perfect show for him! He is phenomenal in every role I’ve seen and hear him in, but I feel this one matches him so well acting wise and with the amazing things he can do vocally. I would pay so much money to see him in the role. I just saw the original cast last May on Broadway and was crying within the first 3 minutes of Eva singing. I need a cast recording with Jordan tbh😅
Saw him yesterday! (It was my second time seeing hadestown) and he did amazing, my heart was broken. I’ve spent more time then the average person thinking about this musical and he does amazing
Okay but I’ve only recently discovered hadestown and after seeing Jordan fisher in this I desperately need a recording of the entire thing with him as Orpheus
Reeve will always be my Orpheus as that's when I came across the show, but I am very much excited to see what Fisher does with this role!! Please, Hadestown YT channel, you gotta upload more videos of Fisher as Orpheus singing songs from the show! ❤
I would agree, but I’ve honestly been waiting so long for Jordan to be able to play this role. I think it’s perfect for him! I would love a cast album with him but I know that’s a long shot!
I just saw Jordan (and Lola!) tonight and it literally changed my life. I'd seen Jordan before in Sweeney Todd but this was completely different, the energy and stage presence was insane. (Also he came down the isle and stood 2 feet from me, and he made eye contact and smiled at me during the encore😁😁)
I recently saw this live and Fisher’s performance was Absolutely Gorgeous. Excellent chemistry, youthful, and certainly otherworldly. I cried my eyes out.
if anyone reads this... go see this show... go see jordan fisher. one of the best performances I have ever seen on broadway. his voice is unreal and he brings such beautiful emotion to orpheus
It's so cool to see him play Orpheus. I can still remember watching him play Holden on Liv and Maddie when I was little and thinking he is such a good singer. I can't believe he's made it to broadway! Hadestown is one of my favorite musicals, and it makes me so happy to see that he's come so far. Break a leg Jordan, and congratulations!!!
When I saw the tour, I didn't care for the show. I just didn't connect with the guy playing him and it kinda ruined the whole thing. This though...perfection.
I'm sorry but I found Jordan Fisher's Orpheus to be so much better than the one on the released album. I feel as though his voice fit in way better than the previous one. I put off seeing Hadestown specifically because I was worried I would not like Orpheus since i did not connect with him at all when I listened to the album. I found myself wanting to skip all his parts. But I saw Hadestown very recently and Jordan blew me away. He killed "Wait For Me" and several other songs I initially did not like. I wish Jordan Fisher and Eva Noblezada were on stage together and on the album together. Maybe one day they'll be in a play together. One can only hope.
I really wanna hear him singing epic III! His voice is very different from Reeve so I can't imagine how he will interpret that song(but I'm sure he'll be great).
I’m so happy that I got to see him as Orpheus on Broadway. One of my favorite shows he and the whole cast did so gooood! Would definitely see this again and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Such a good show!
Wow, Jordan Fisher's rendition of "Wait For Me" in Hadestown on Broadway is simply mesmerizing! His voice brings such depth and emotion to the character, capturing the essence of Orpheus's journey with every note. The way he seamlessly blends power and vulnerability in his performance is truly captivating. Fisher's talent shines brilliantly in this song, leaving me completely spellbound.
JORDAN FISCHER IS SO UNDERRATED I HOPE TO GOD HE GETS HIS OWN THING WHERE HE IS THE STAR AND NOT JUST THE SECOND FIDDLE TO THE LIKES OF REEVE CARNEY OR BEN PLATT
I don't envy Jordan Fisher having to follow in Reeve's footsteps. Not only was he so great in the role, he held it for so long AND he's just a wonderful person that everyone loves. Those are some mighty big shoes to fill and that can be such a hard position to be in. For some, unfortunately, he's just never going to be good enough simply because he's not Reeve. That said, he sounds really great here. His voice is strong and I can see him in the role. I do think he's a bit more aggressive than he needs to be.... Reeve beautifully mixed the anguish, pain and vulnerability of this scene. Jordan hasn't quite captured that perfect mix yet. Reeve WAS Orpheus, while Jordan is still an actor playing Orpheus. But I think he'll get there in time.
Or maybe his Orpheus just IS more aggressive. I don't want to see Jordan playing Reeve's Orpheus, but his own. Reece certainly wasn't playing Damon's Orpheus.
Both new actors made me interested for this play. I never heard abou this one before, but I saw a video with his couple and I love their voices so much. I watched the original cast, but honestly I prefer this one. I wish I could watch everything.
Just saw Jordan fisher tonight as Orpheus and he was fabulous. The other cast members were amazing. We had understudies do the roles of Hermes and Eurydice tonight and they were so good I don’t know how they were ever understudies at all. The whole cast is fantastic. I agree with anyone who says they should release another recording with the current cast because I want to hear their voices again. Tonight wasn’t enough!
I loved this number so much on Broadway. The stage definitely makes it more emotionally driven with choreo that I found was lacking at the LA performance. I would love to see Jordan doing this ugh I wish I were going back to NYC soon just for some shows.
Hopefully I'll be in the neighborhood again and will get to see him, certainly wouldn't break my heart to see Hadestown again. I was lucky in Sept, I didn't know Reeve was still doing it. This guy seems like he'll kill it too though.
The power in Jordan’s voice showcases Orpheus’ desperation in a way I’ve truly never seen before! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear his version! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

it's never a bad choice to go with jordan fisher (unless he's playing orpheus & he looks back & you return to hell) BUT FOR CASTING, he never misses.
Love this comment
LMAOO
personally I feel like Anthony in Sweeney Todd was a miscast for him, but he is MUCH more suited for Orpheus and I'm glad he's getting so long in the roll
Tbh
I mean, He was pretty bad in the Flash but I chock that up to bad writing
I *need* someone to put Jordan in an original production of *literally anything*. He deserves to be nominated and recording. I've seen him on Broadway twice and the man does not disappoint.
just saw this cast today (Lillias white's last hadwstown show 😢) and I 100% agree, they should have given them a recording for this cast, Jordan and Lillias especially
I mean technically he was in the Sweeney Todd revival recording (sounding beautiful as always) but I agree 100% he needs to be in moreeee😢😢
Absolutely BEGGING YOU, Hadestown, to release a studio recording with this current main cast. They are phenomenal and everyone deserves to experience them!!
SERIOUSLY! it’s more than needed
I don't know that I'd ever listen to other music again@@beanie2571
And proshot 🤞
Even the swings who cover. Specifically Malcolm Armwood as Hermes and Tara Jackson as Persephone…*chefs kiss*
🙏 please. Especially with Lola Tung too…
the little riff on stones omg I LOVE THIS MAN
Yes!!! I saw him and Solea Pfeiffer last December and the riff he had on stones sold me if his performance until then hadn't already. It's a very small part but I just love what he did with it there.
Wow - having seen Jordan in other Broadway roles, what I was NOT expecting was for this to be bordering on a rock vocal. Took me by surprise and I absolutely LOVE it.
I CANT GET OVER THE "I HEAR THE ROCKS AND STONES" IVE REPLAYED IT A MILLION TIMES
jordan was one of the absolute best people you could have casted for this role. You saw an opportunity and you took it. he sounds absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!
Fisher and reeve are so different and to compare the too is so unfair, theyre both equally amazing and talented and deserve just as much recognition
This is honestly the perfect show for him! He is phenomenal in every role I’ve seen and hear him in, but I feel this one matches him so well acting wise and with the amazing things he can do vocally. I would pay so much money to see him in the role. I just saw the original cast last May on Broadway and was crying within the first 3 minutes of Eva singing. I need a cast recording with Jordan tbh😅
Right? And his capabilities to control facial emotions is perfect for this too. You can see every wait for me vividly told through just his face
He sounds great! I would be glad to see his entire performance in the show.
I was able to see him in person...let me say: mesmerizing!! Jordan, Solea, and the entire cast had me entranced! They stepped into the roles so well!
The way I need a Jordan fisher version of the soundtrack is like I need air to breathe
Well, guess I have to start saving up for tickets to see this again!
I’m getting the pleasure to work with Jordan in February, and I am very impressed with what he does on the stage!
Jordan’s vocals never miss I love it
I absolutely NEED to see Jordan as Orpheus🥲 I saw Reeva in 2022 and it was one of the best nights of my life♥️
Saw him yesterday! (It was my second time seeing hadestown) and he did amazing, my heart was broken. I’ve spent more time then the average person thinking about this musical and he does amazing
Okay but I’ve only recently discovered hadestown and after seeing Jordan fisher in this I desperately need a recording of the entire thing with him as Orpheus
There's an audio recording somewhere on youtube.
I could watch & hear this many times in a row,🙂
Reeve will always be my Orpheus as that's when I came across the show, but I am very much excited to see what Fisher does with this role!! Please, Hadestown YT channel, you gotta upload more videos of Fisher as Orpheus singing songs from the show! ❤
I would agree, but I’ve honestly been waiting so long for Jordan to be able to play this role. I think it’s perfect for him! I would love a cast album with him but I know that’s a long shot!
Reeve is basically Orpheus in real life. That’s why he fits the character so well.😂
What happened to him?
Wow what a cool interpretation of the character! This Orpheus seems like a revolutionary. I can see the workers of Hadestown following him.
I just saw Jordan (and Lola!) tonight and it literally changed my life. I'd seen Jordan before in Sweeney Todd but this was completely different, the energy and stage presence was insane. (Also he came down the isle and stood 2 feet from me, and he made eye contact and smiled at me during the encore😁😁)
FANTASTIC
I LOVE HADESTOWNNN
Manifested Jordan as Orpheus so hard and he sounds better than I imagined. I can’t wait to see him perform 🤗
Jordan and Eva would EAT
Saw his last night and the flavor he adds…the riffs…I was knocked out a few times.
I recently saw this live and Fisher’s performance was Absolutely Gorgeous.
Excellent chemistry, youthful, and certainly otherworldly.
I cried my eyes out.
I really hope we can get a recording of hades town like Hamilton. This play was so good live. Had me in TEARS
Oh hells yes.
I like how he sounds more angry. Like Orpheus’s angry with the Gods. With himself.
why people always say this with black leads 😭 he does not sound angry, at least not to me. more mournful, and determined
if anyone reads this... go see this show... go see jordan fisher. one of the best performances I have ever seen on broadway. his voice is unreal and he brings such beautiful emotion to orpheus
He's doing a great job! Can't wait to see him!!
That vibrato though>>
My Mum: Why Do I Keep Hearing This Song?
Me: BECAUSE JORDAN FISHER , ... DUH
It's so cool to see him play Orpheus. I can still remember watching him play Holden on Liv and Maddie when I was little and thinking he is such a good singer. I can't believe he's made it to broadway! Hadestown is one of my favorite musicals, and it makes me so happy to see that he's come so far. Break a leg Jordan, and congratulations!!!
YOOO so good
When I saw the tour, I didn't care for the show. I just didn't connect with the guy playing him and it kinda ruined the whole thing. This though...perfection.
I saw him this past Tuesday and he rocked it!!!!
It’s a win!
This song always gives me goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥. Hadestown is a masterpiece.🥰
I NEED THE FULL THING
Woah.
I just recently saw one of Reeve's last shows, and I can honestly say Jordan Fisher is an amazing pick, and he fits the role very well.
Just saw the show and Jordan fishers voice gave me chills.truly blessed with a heavenly voice which makes him perfectly casted.
I'm sorry but I found Jordan Fisher's Orpheus to be so much better than the one on the released album. I feel as though his voice fit in way better than the previous one.

I wish Jordan Fisher and Eva Noblezada were on stage together and on the album together. Maybe one day they'll be in a play together. One can only hope.
Someone PLEASE give this man a Tony before I start crying
God I literally can’t stop listening to this his voice is just so amazing
Also I need him to release a rock song now his vocals are perfect for it
THE STONES RUN
I really wanna hear him singing epic III! His voice is very different from Reeve so I can't imagine how he will interpret that song(but I'm sure he'll be great).
Its jordans back up voices is the issue on this particular video. But jordans vocals are fit and right as orpheus
I’m so happy that I got to see him as Orpheus on Broadway. One of my favorite shows he and the whole cast did so gooood! Would definitely see this again and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Such a good show!

JORDAN FISCHER IS SO UNDERRATED I HOPE TO GOD HE GETS HIS OWN THING WHERE HE IS THE STAR AND NOT JUST THE SECOND FIDDLE TO THE LIKES OF REEVE CARNEY OR BEN PLATT
I just saw Jordan Fisher on Sat in Hadestown. Absolutely loved his performance. Unforgettable.
How many times have I watched this? Yes 😂❤
Seeing him, in this particular scene, actually altered my brain chemistry. He played this role to perfection.
i’m obsessed. i’m so obsessed. HES SO GOOD SOMEBODY GIVE THIS MAN ALL THE TONYS.
I don't envy Jordan Fisher having to follow in Reeve's footsteps. Not only was he so great in the role, he held it for so long AND he's just a wonderful person that everyone loves. Those are some mighty big shoes to fill and that can be such a hard position to be in. For some, unfortunately, he's just never going to be good enough simply because he's not Reeve.

Or maybe his Orpheus just IS more aggressive. I don't want to see Jordan playing Reeve's Orpheus, but his own. Reece certainly wasn't playing Damon's Orpheus.
Jordan can sing but he grimaces too much in this clip. Less is more.
what a joy to contrast two takes on a lead role
Both new actors made me interested for this play. I never heard abou this one before, but I saw a video with his couple and I love their voices so much. I watched the original cast, but honestly I prefer this one. I wish I could watch everything.
I love Hadestown.:-)He's wonderful.😀
nice to see orpheus finally played by someone who emotes after six years.
Just saw Jordan fisher tonight as Orpheus and he was fabulous. The other cast members were amazing. We had understudies do the roles of Hermes and Eurydice tonight and they were so good I don’t know how they were ever understudies at all.
The whole cast is fantastic. I agree with anyone who says they should release another recording with the current cast because I want to hear their voices again. Tonight wasn’t enough!
Who did you have as understudies?
WE MAKIN IN OUT OF HADESTOWN WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Narrator: "They did not make it out of Hadestown with this one"
:P
@@RapsCalorie 😭😭😭
LMAOOO
@@RapsCalorie More like Hermes doe amirite?
But maybe if I go see it again maybe it'll be different maybe he won't maybe it'll change this time around
I just saw hadestown yesterday it was so good i love thr current cast especially Phillip abd jordan
I recognize him from teen beach the flash and one episode of the thundermans i didnt know he was on Broadway 😂
I loved this number so much on Broadway. The stage definitely makes it more emotionally driven with choreo that I found was lacking at the LA performance. I would love to see Jordan doing this ugh I wish I were going back to NYC soon just for some shows.
FULL RELEASE WHENNNNNNNNN??????!!!!!!
The harmonies sound off key
One of these days he’s gonna be an original cast member for literally ANYTHING and finally get the tony he’s deserved for so long now
Finding out Fisher was cast as Orpheus just makes me all the more giddy in my admiration for his performing prowess
I’m excited! I just found this and can’t believe he’s a part of this! Can’t wait to see more of him in this role 🥰
This guy and Antony knock my socks off
This is EPIC!!!
Hopefully I'll be in the neighborhood again and will get to see him, certainly wouldn't break my heart to see Hadestown again. I was lucky in Sept, I didn't know Reeve was still doing it. This guy seems like he'll kill it too though.
Beg for proshot version ❤
SO INTENSE OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
He’s eating Reeve up
One Jordan fisher will always do is maintain the level of perfection🫶 love Reeve and love him
wait for me to turn 18
The power in Jordan’s voice showcases Orpheus’ desperation in a way I’ve truly never seen before! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear his version! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
alright, now make a proshot with him
I um, woah. The strain isn't doin it for me y'all. LOVE this guy, but this isn't it.
Woah let's go
I love how differently Reeve and Jordan Fisher played the characters they're so different but so good
seeing this live made my soul and i cried so much
We need professional recordings with the newer cast 🙏
He sounds great, big shoes to fill but he's doing well
Jordan is a genius ❤
I was fortunate to see the incomparable Reeve Carney 3xs, & I would LOVE …. With All My Heart… to return for this.
PLEASE POST FULL PERORMANCE WITH LOLA
I wish I lived closer so I could see him live so bad!!!!!
The beginning sounds like “if I could tell her”
Is his version on spotify, does anybody know?
Ooh, noting it sounds like they've swapped for an electric bass. Interesting change in the sound.
Chills
