In this episode, Julie and I sit down to talk about our experience watching Hadestown: The Musical, the filmed live stage production that brings Anaïs Mitchell’s Tony Award-winning musical to the big screen. (Rotten Tomatoes)
We discuss what makes this story of Orpheus and Eurydice, along with Hades and Persephone, such a powerful blend of mythology, music, love, loss, and hope. From the incredible performances to the way the cameras capture the energy of the stage, we share our thoughts on what worked, what surprised us, and why this production feels like more than just a recording of a Broadway show.
