I'm on my way home after seeing this at the Lyric Theatre in London. It was amazing, and Zachary James was the standout performer in an incredible cast. What a voice. He had an almost magnetic charisma, every time he moved or said anything, my eyes were glued to him.
I feel so blessed to have gotten the chance to see Zachary as Hades live before he leaves - such an amazing and magnetic performance as Hades. Whoever takes over the role will certainly have big shoes to fill, though the Hadestown UK casting has been wonderful so far and I have full faith that streak will continue!
Saw Hadestown yesterday - and Zachary James was totally incredible. The voice, the embodiment of the character. The dynamic changed completely once he appeared. I also loved Persephone, but keep listening to Hades songs for the second day in a row
I can't see him as the villain in it. An antagonist maybe but he just feels very human. His motives are all things we can relate to as humans. The fates meanwhile consistently seem to be out to get our protagonists
I saw you as Hades last Saturday... this is one of those musicals I get addicted to. From the first note I was trying to ´absorb´ all this lovely music and these incredible voices of a perfect cast into my soul, and trying to make it ´last´ in my mind. I´ll be travelling back to Hadestown next month! I´m sure there is lots to discover when seeing Hadestown multiple times... it has layers!!!
We got last-minute tickets at the Lyric Theatre; it was the best decision we made the entire trip. The cast was phenomenal, and Zachary James and Gloria Onitiri made the show for me. Such talent, such chemistry, such amazing people. It is a shame there is no official recording of this cast, but I'm so glad I caught you guys before you're done with Hadestown. Here's to many more jaw-dropping performances and I can't wait to see you wherever you choose to go! You were phenomenal, what an experience.
I saw the show in April and HAD TO return no matter the fact that I'm not UK based at all, because you were absolutely incredible and I'm really glad I got to see you this Saturday before you leave the production because at first I saw Christopher Short (who was also great). I can't wait for for the West End cast recording.
i saw you as hades on feb 24th along with simon oskarsson as orpheus and you were absolutely AMAZING . i went with my mom , we were fifth row centre and we came to the stage door after . you were our absolute favourite , your vocals were so dynamic and so pleasing to hear !! we're seeing you again on the 6th of april , row H , just because of how much we LOVED the show
As someone who's been a huge fan of Hades and all those that's played him, you've totally embodied this character and its safe to say he's definitely in good hands!
Absolutely adored you and the rest of the cast in the West End Hadestown The glee in your voice when you said "Oh, it's about me~!" in Epic III absolutely killed me with laughter Then by the end of the song I was in floods of tears Really want to catch it again while it's still on
Please tell me you’re going to be Hades on the 5th of October at half 7? I’ve been saving forever to get childcare and come see this - my favourite show - and I really hope I get to see you as the iconic Hades. Crossing everything 🤞🏻
Saw the show last night. You were just the absolute best, not just in singing, but in movement. The sheer presence and charisma that you carry yourself with, the way that you hold yourself, the way that you know JUST where to be, is astounding. All I can say is MORE.
Saw Hadestown at Lyric Theater last week and it was magnificent. Truly among the greatest shows I have seen. I feel this song in my bones. Thank you for sharing.
I saw it last week too. I thought it was tremendous. Normally I come away from a show with criticisms of one sort or another but I genuinely can't think of anything about it I didn't like.
I've been listening to Hadestown for a few years now. I bought the OBC vinyl, a shirt, and fancy reusable tote bag. I would give it all back if I could get this on vinyl. Patrick Page is a legend in his own right, but my man, this is otherworldly. Thank you for giving this to us
Saw you on Wednesday! Your voice was absolutely electrifying! Favourite character from the show and a brilliant Hades! Loved hearing you speak every time!
Saw you on Saturday in London - WOW! That voice - i went into it blind and not knowing what it was or was about - but holy lord, i loved it and was blown away!
Dont usually leave a comment on anything. I saw hadestown on saturday oh my god best theatrical production i've ever seen in my life. I loved listening to each person in the performance. I also loved the little humour you brought to the show thank you for doing this role you are literally perfect for hades.
Watched the West End last night, had high hopes for Hades and they were SMASHED. Hades has never personified the oil he controls so perfectly. Perfectly sleazy, perfectly angry. Absolutely astonishing.
Saw it last night with my gf. Both her and I loved it so much it was amazing to watch from someone who didn't watch musicals much (not anymore) and someone who loves them it was incredible. And dont get us started on the sassy hades walk!
Coming to London this Saturday to finally see this show live! You sound amazing as Hades, I really love the casting choices! Kind regards from Belgium ✌
I saw Hadestown last month without hearing a single note beforehand and I’ so glad. To see and hear the music performed for the first time was a breathtaking experience. Now I’m recommending it to every person I see!
Saw the show last week, it quickly become my favourite musical I have heard! I have been trying to find some high quality versions of this by you! Finally find it! No disrespect to Patrick, but you just hit different.
Absolutely loved the show!! Wish I could have got the cast recording but I don’t have anything that can play a CD any more sadly!!! Absolutely love this you smashed it. Your hades was phenomenal (and your costars as well - everyone was just brilliant!!)
Seeing Hades on the March 2nd Matinee. Hopefully you're on. This is stunning. Intimaidating yet vocally stunning. I may be stealing this to add to a best of Hadestown playlist 👀
I came to see you last Wednesday, and the show was breathtaking. The small changes to your Hades completely changes the power of the show. Can really feel Hades' love for his wife and how that affects his actions. I want to return and watch again and again. I'm in awe
I was able to see this in person at the West End and it was spectacular! I honestly like your version better than the original recording so Im very happy to find online.
That G1 is very interesting. It’s very clearly chest dominated, but there’s something else mixing that I can’t quite tell exactly what it is. Is that a note you have on a regular basis, or just a morning voice only type of note? -signed a bass who only ever gets chest G1’s in the morning :(
@@Granta_Omegabut the special thing is this song can be related to so many different parts of history. Walls being built is a symbolic capitalist object, a tool for capitalist authority to keep their workers in line, all under the banner that they are offered “security”. It might’ve not been written about Donald Trump but it could be applied to Trump’s presidency.
Even though there is no cast recording of the amazing west end cast, i’m glad that your amazing performance as hades is immortalized through this.
the Hadestown UK instagram has teased/confirmed a cast recording is in the works 👀

Seeing this show changed my life. Daddy Hades is a god I think I’d sell my soul to lol.

I watched Hadestown tonight at the West End and I’m in awe. Best Musical I’ve ever seen, no kidding. Best villain ever.

I see what you did there - sneaky

Awwww thank you and come see us again soon!
I came searching for this version after attending yesterdays amazing Westend Performance. Literal goosebumps!

Saw you as Hades on Tuesday, absolutely my new favourite character in any musical, you were brilliant
Saw this play on West End - his voice made me melt in my seat
Got the lighting, the cool staircase, the stance… you’re gonna be SO good in the show, I really hope I can see your Hades onstage someday!
Literally cast as Hades for the Lyric theatre run. I am BLESSED to be seeing this gentleman live!!!
London 2024 😈
I literally cannot stop listening to this!!!

My favourite spin on younger Hades! Saw you last Thursday, absolutely tore it up at Chant II. Next to Melanie’s Hermes, the highlight of the show!
Saw you today, utterly phenomenal, I thought my friends eyes were gonna pop out of her head lol
Awwwww yay thank you so much!
I saw hadestown in august, you were amazing
Saw you today, the show blew me away, especially your vocals.
Absolutely adored you and the rest of the cast in the West End Hadestown
The glee in your voice when you said "Oh, it's about me~!" in Epic III absolutely killed me with laughter
Then by the end of the song I was in floods of tears
Really want to catch it again while it's still on
So excited this is the Hades I'll see!
ME TOO I CAME HERE AFTER THE LONDON ANNOUNCEMENT AND NOW I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED WHAT THE FUCK
Incredible performance yesterday! I loved this song! I’m really hoping we get the cast recording 🙏🙏🙏
Saw hadestown both in New Y9rk and now, a week or two ago, in London. The presence you and Gloria Onitiri bring is excellent. Loved the show!
Didnt think id ever see another Hades go for the G1 but he did, pretty sure it was vocal fry but still impressive
I'm so thankful there's a video and recording of you singing this! So electrifying. Can't wait to see it live again
Please tell me you’re going to be Hades on the 5th of October at half 7? I’ve been saving forever to get childcare and come see this - my favourite show - and I really hope I get to see you as the iconic Hades. Crossing everything 🤞🏻
Saw you tonight! Incredible performance, thanks for the unforgettable night :)
I saw you yesterday and you are incredible! I have no words
Thank you!
1:45 watched in the west end and stayed glued to my seat the entire time. Came back to watch the best part again here and I relieved it.
A M A Z I N G
If I were to write a musical version of Breaking Bad, I’d make DAMN sure to cast Zachary James as Walter White.

I saw you 2 weeks ago in Hadestown and it was absolutely stunning! I'm OBSESSED with your version of Chant Reprise! 💚
Man i loved seeing this fella
Privileged to hear this live on Saturday , just......Damn!! Such a charismatic performance and your tone was sublime , I had goosebumps ❤

Holy smokes, the West End got an amazing Hades 😮 Hope the shows are going well across the pond!

Saw you this Friday! Absolutely incredible! ♥️
Saw you yesterday. Excellent performance... the entire cast were amazing
Thanks so much!!
Saw you as Hades last night, amazing performance!
Lord have mercy...
Can confirm called him daddy. Felt bad for making it awkward. Amazing performer incredible dictation and enunciation in his work
You killed this song. Very powerful! Hope to see you in Hades town!!!!

@@etrain757 it’s like a supported vocal fry from the ground up, check out Tibetan throat singing
@@theofficialzacharyjames that makes sense, thanks for sharing!
How cool! Looking forward to 12 February!
Zachary was a massive powerhouse, his performance screams for a Olivier!
Zachary MUST be the next Hades on Broadway.
He just got announced for west end
Damn, came yesterday (Sat 23-Mar) and you weren't on 😞
So sorry to miss you, I’m out sick on vocal rest, haven’t missed a show in 13 years, it’s been tough ❤️
@@theofficialzacharyjameshope you're fighting fit soon
Can you have a crush on a voice?😅
👍
Someone should play this at a Trump rally lol. They'd be like "this song is so patriotic" and miss the underlying message entirely
This song actually has absolutely nothing to do with Trump at all and was written long before anyone had the thought of him as a politician.
@@Granta_Omegabut the special thing is this song can be related to so many different parts of history.
