InReelLife I’m sorry u can argue with me but Hadestown is my absolute favorite and the best musical and when u reacted to it I kind of fangirled lmao. I saw it Saturday and it’s so good and if u get the chance SEE IT
We raise our cups is the song they sing at the curtain call, it's like a break in the fourth wall. The cast stands facing the audience and it's somewhat of a 'thank you for coming on a journey with us' but it's also a song that pays tribute to Orpheus who in the myth was barred from entering the underworld again and walked the Earth in his grief, since you can only travel into the underworld once.
Christine M Yeah I was so confused when I saw it for the first time cause I was like “Wait when are they doing We Raise Our Cups” then I was like ohhhhh then I swear Amber Gray looked straight at me and I almost passed out
The most heart wrenching part of the curtain call is Hades and Persephone are standing between Orpheus and Eurydice.... they're not even allowed to get back together in the curtain call!
fun fact! during Come Home With Me (Reprise) Reeve or whoever is playing Orpheus enters through the audience and he ends up next to the 5th-6th row! I almost screamed because I was so happy 😂 and then i cried again if you ever get the chance to watch this show, you should definitely go!!
Orpheus actually spent the last weeks of his life trying to get back into wherever Eurydice was, and wept when he couldn’t. That’s when women of a opposing religion came into the scene while he was praying and tore him apart.
"Is every song gonna make me cry or something?" See, here's a guide to a majority of musicals. Act 1: Happiness, joy, everything's going great! Act 2: Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. Oh so terribly horribly wrong in a way that leaves us all sobbing and numb inside
The Papers instrumental is a Fight break. The fates tear Eurydice away into a corner of the stage and hold her back; the Workers surround Orpheus, drag him back into the center of the stage every time he tries to run, and then basically beat the hell out of him. Onstage it’s definitely choreographed and fairly symbolic but definitely evocative of violence and there’s a few seconds where the symbolism drops and they’re very obviously striking at him, even kicking when he’s down. Nothing Changes is staged with the three Fates standing over Orpheus, bloodied on the ground, holding his guitar over him mockingly. Also, the Fates don’t share one eye, the Grey Sisters do. They’re different. Don’t listen to the Hercules movie.
It hurts so bad... There aren't even words... but then it loops, and you're singing it again, believing it'll turn out and you're like ':0' every time...
0:33 Even though she was still Goddess of Spring as well as Queen of the Underworld, people used to be afraid to say her name as it literally meant 'destruction'. Her birth name was Kore - 'the maiden.
I think my most important reaction in Act 2 was sobbing in Road to Hell (Reprise) and finding out they edited I Raise My Cup to We Raise Our Cups and sobbing even more OH AND WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE NEW LYRICS IN WAIT FOR ME II (the iconic part of Hadestown) I SCREECHED
Why does this remind you of Phantom of the Opera? Because Phantom is a direct adaptation of the myth of Hades and Persephone. Hadestown was the sequel to Phantom that we actually wanted
I didn’t know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice when I listened to this. BUT I knew Orpheus would look behind him because I’d read enough Greek Mythology to know that Greek heroes always screw up royally.
9:43 I listened to the whole soundtrack at 3 in the morning and this was my reaction and I had to silently scream cuz I would've woken up the entire house
3:56 True 'Nothing Changes' is the most beautiful 'give up' song but 'You Can't Win' from 'The Wiz' is the catchiest. Check it out - either Michael Jackson's version or Elijah Kelley's version. Sadly they had a different (but just as good) song in the OBC recording (Andre De Shields, the Hermes of this cast played the Wiz himself in the OBC).
Me sitting here waiting for Stephen to understand that Flowers is about how she signed her life away to be Hades mistress... 😅😅 And when she says “I turn away, into the shade” it foreshadows Doubt Comes In
I saw one of your other videos about Dear Evan Hansen. Then RUclips suggested video. I’d heard of Hadestown and decided to watch your video. It was hysterical, but I didn’t get it. You made me want to watch/listen to Hadestown. Now that get it and appreciate these videos even more. Thanks for introducing me to a whole new (under)world!
Okay so, maybe not everyone got this but, in the road to hell reprise and we raise our cups, the last songs in the musical. It’s implying that they have to retell the story over and over again hoping for a better ending, and basically all those shows that we all went to of Hadestown live is them trying to retell the story. That’s why in some of the songs they give credit to the musicians of the songs and the chorus, because it’s a show, it’s them trying to retell it no matter how many times hoping it will end well this time. And I hope one day that they will make a better ending for one of the nights
It's a sad song, and we sing it again in the hopes that somehow, just this once, the words on the page will change, just like Hermes said at the start. He's the god of messengers, so it's fitting that this story literally begins with him spelling out its message...and it's in keeping with this message that every single time anyone listens to this, even if we already know every last word, we still Hope. Because it lets us imagine a world that could be, rather than just the nightmare that Is.
the way he reacts at times makes me so aggressive bc when he was offended when he found out that hades owns the souls. That's what hades' is for. He owns the underworld and the souls that come there. He keeps the dead people there. 😂 Stop being offended by that. It's a fact.

“How to get over a breakup that has nothing to do with you?”
“It takes more than a song to keep a woman Orpheus, ok? You need other stuff too, like food...”
That pretty much sums it up.
But not golden chains around her neck like Hades said
doubt comes in: *plays*
me: *sobs uncontrollably*
This isn’t la la land this is la la la la la la la land
I’m so sorry I had to
This comment wins
That’s perfect
Here's something more to cry about : We Raise Our Cups is kinda like a reversed funeral, with the dead ones paying tribute to the guy who's alive ✨
“Is every song gonna make me cry or something”
YES. YES THEY WILL.

In some versions they're reunited after he dies.
fun fact!

and then i cried again
if you ever get the chance to watch this show, you should definitely go!!
catherine en pointe That’s so cool! What side left or right?
EEEEE so excited that is the best ever I need to see this live
His reaction to Epic III is why I have a reason to smile today
"I NEED TO SEE THIS LIVE. LIKE RIGHT NOW PLEASE-"
Literally me listening to Hadestown for the first time, too.
No one:
Literally no one:
The gods:
The whole freaking universe:
Orpheus: La la la la la la L A L A L A

Basically this whole video:
"Hades is an A**hole"
"Aww they're so in love"
"They are so stupid!"
"I'm going to cry now"
First la la la: uhh why are there no words?
Last la la la: THIS SONG CAN LIFT MY SOUL AND BRING SPRING BACK
0:33 Even though she was still Goddess of Spring as well as Queen of the Underworld, people used to be afraid to say her name as it literally meant 'destruction'. Her birth name was Kore - 'the maiden.
“this is probably the most beautiful ‘you’re pathetic’ and ‘give up’ song I’ve ever heard”
EPIC III IS LITERALLY SO FREAKING GOOD
I think it’s my favourite one. I almost cried.
"How to get over a heartbreak that has nothing to do with you"
Mood
No one:
Gods:
Demigods:
THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE:
Hadestown: imma bring you hopes up so high then crush them so much harder than the original myth.
this entire video is such a mood I can’t-
Stephen during Doubt Comes is the reason this series is called “How Everyone Reacts to _________”
I think my most important reaction in Act 2 was sobbing in Road to Hell (Reprise) and finding out they edited I Raise My Cup to We Raise Our Cups and sobbing even more
OH AND WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE NEW LYRICS IN WAIT FOR ME II (the iconic part of Hadestown) I SCREECHED
I love this musical but it punches my heart every time
last song is persephone but YEAH PRETTY MUCH
Persephone and Eurydice are both singing in it
Why does this remind you of Phantom of the Opera? Because Phantom is a direct adaptation of the myth of Hades and Persephone. Hadestown was the sequel to Phantom that we actually wanted
Wait...
Is it really?
Why does that make so much sense?
Eh, not really, but I can see the comparison
I'm pretty sure it was based on a french novel from the 19th century but the author could have been inspired by it.
@@laete2536 called, funny enough, "Le Fantome de l'Opera" by Gaston Leroux. Which in English is "The Phantom of the Opera".
"Okay, so I'm gonna be sad for the next 70 years"
Same
My parents at 4 am even though our flight doesn't take off until 11 am: 5:04
When I saw this live, I did actually cry.
I’m so glad you finally did this musical!
I didn’t know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice when I listened to this. BUT I knew Orpheus would look behind him because I’d read enough Greek Mythology to know that Greek heroes always screw up royally.

I saw this show live expecting to love it, was not expecting it to become my favorite musical but here we are.
papers - instrumental isn't a music break it's orpheus getting his ass beat
Mood. This whole video is just a mood.
I saw a glimpse of the show and the spinning floor like the one it Hamilton are in it and I am bless
“yea, i’d rather die”
same

"Oh no the ending" dude I was the same when I realised it
Me sitting here waiting for Stephen to understand that Flowers is about how she signed her life away to be Hades mistress... 😅😅
And when she says “I turn away, into the shade” it foreshadows Doubt Comes In
I like the fact you look at different places when you scream and shout at the cast members. As if the cast were there!
He’s still wearing the iconic Matilda shirt 😂
Please do how we all reacted to Come From Away
I finished the whole sountrack yesterday just 4 this 😄
I ligit started crying at "doubt comes in"😭
This is literally so relatable 😭❤️
Doubt comes in is the only musical theatre song that makes me cry. I was so sad when it ended. Like I was SOBBING
If he didn't hear her the first time why would he the second.
I cried when I thought that

"This is so sweet I might get diabetes"
Hadestown is my life and I relate to this on a personal level
Congratulations on hitting 35k subs! 🎉🎉
I sobbed my face off IN FRONT OF MY DAD after listening to We Raise Our Cups
The underworld and hell aren’t the same thing. Bad people go to hell. Everyone goes to the underworld. Hades is basically just the CEO of the place.
I was hoping for a different end while listening to it too💔
The one dislike is Hades
STOP CALLING ME OUT SMH
10:31 Spends the rest of his days wandering the world singing his sad song

This is my favorite musical ever I just subscribed! 0w0
Hey did you know in the Greek myth after Orpheus messes up and condemns Eurydice he swears off girls and only dates guys for the rest of his life
ash I don’t think he dates anyone but if he dates guys
LOVE THAT
You should do a how everyone reacts to Next To Normal
JAJAJAJAJA Me encantan todas tus expresiones, en verdad eres unico😂💕 literalmente dijiste todo lo que pensabaa😂🌷

"How to get over a heartbreack that has nothing to do with you" made me laugh so hard
He is such a mood
Try reacting to Frankenstein a new musical
I mean I know but I'm still intrigued
*You know I’d go crazy too if I was stuck in hell*
True that
0:42 And she wants to see it the full year round, like they do.
Can you please do "How everyone reacted to Oklahoma (2019) It's gonna end good😂
Oh
@@Canadian-moto-boy Connor, I wasn't expecting to see you heere.
It’d be so tight, but the soundtrack doesn’t give much away of what the new production (and new ending) is like.
@@laurelcrown9293 Oh yeah I never really thought about that :/ oops
Lowkey terrified of Hades but like wouldn’t mind if he slid in my dm’s
I. NEEDED. THIS. THANK. YOU
I love hadestown

the way he reacts at times makes me so aggressive bc when he was offended when he found out that hades owns the souls. That's what hades' is for. He owns the underworld and the souls that come there. He keeps the dead people there. 😂
Stop being offended by that. It's a fact.
