    T...T....Toby? He has been the voice of the soundtrack?! That's crazy cuz on "This is Us" he doesn't really sing! He sounds amazing! I still really like André as Hermes, but my God, Chris really adds something to this part. Like when he says "there ain't no compas, brother, there ain't no map..." he really sounds like your best buddy from the country. It is just different from André's griot/ " Rafiki style" of narrating the story.

    Say what you will about the Broadway Show, this version was my first and will always hold a special place in my heart. Sullivan has an energy to his Hermes, who is meant to be one of the youngest Gods, that Andre exchanges for more of the traditional elder storyteller role.

    • @free_siobhan
      @free_siobhan 5 лет назад +25

      Is that unpopular? Cause while I enjoy Andre’s energy at most points, his voice just isn’t there. I think Chris works better as Hermes, because in the original run he is much more connected to Orpheus, even if he may not have had as much time onstage with him. Plus his voice is much better both for Hermes and in general, which is probably a more controversial point.

  • @jish55
    @jish55 4 года назад +17

    I think the reason I love Chris so much as Hermes is because he just has that voice that suits the character far more than Andre.

    • @beefstroganoff1774
      @beefstroganoff1774 3 года назад +1

      Yes. He makes Hermes more mischievous which is far more accurate to the god. Hermes was also a relatively young god (that point didn't bother me as much; Andrè being older, I mean), and Chris embodies him perfectly in my eyes.

    • @jish55
      @jish55 2 года назад +2

      @@psiamnotdrunk Subjective, yes, and you are right that God's aren't real, but we're talking about a production that depicts Gods as real life entities that interact with mortals. As such, one has to go and determine what comes off more God like and what would you consider to be a more imposing entity. To me, a God is a figure who demands respect, where everything they say, no matter how much you agree or disagree with it, holds weight to it where you would never even contemplate speaking up against them. They're figures who with a single word, causes fear in all who hear it. Andre never gave off that tone of mischief and intimidation and instead came off more frail, a voice that never held much weight to it and never sounded anywhere close to what a God like figure would sound.
