What have you had your entire life that I didn’t give you? I’m not getting into it. I’m doing this thing. OK? I don’t owe you fucking anything. I blame myself. I spoiled you. And now… you’re fucked. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry you’re a hothouse flower…that you’re nothing. You’re curdled cream. Maybe… Maybe you should write a book or collect sports cars or something. But for the world? Nah. I’m sorry. You’re not made for it.

When I was expecting with you, I thought you’d save me. I thought you’d love me, and then my…my mother would love me. Even from the beginning, you disobeyed. You wouldn’t…wouldn’t eat, like… like you were punishing me for being born. You made me feel like a fool, like a…like a child. You were a child. And now you come back here……and all I can think is… What? What, Mama? You smell ripe.

Hadestown - West End - 26/05/2024 Dónal Finn (Orpheus), Melanie La Barrie (Hermes), Lauren Azania (Worker), Tiago Dhondt Bamberger (Worker), Lucinda Buckley (Worker Swing), Waylon Jacobs (Worker), Christopher Short (Worker) Do not share outside of Tumblr. This is the very song that sent me 16 hours to London. Dónal plays Orpheus so hurt and angry here, it is genuinely as life changing as I thought it would be in real life, it's all you could ask for in an Orpheus. Also, we get changed lines after 'So I ask you...', instead of 'If it's true what they say, I'll be on my way. Tell me what to do!' , we get 'Brother, look around today. Is this how the world will stay? There must be another way!' which i think is very fitting for his Orpheus and also means we get Orpheus saying 'brother' in IIT again!! Melanie carries this production for the entire 2 and a half hours powerfully and I loved all the workers I watched that day, they were all so great. Feel free to yap at me about literally anything Hadestown West End related <3.

Where is she? Where is she now?

And as for you… Everybody gather ‘round! Everybody look and see! 

What becomes of trespassers with no respect for property!

Sure it would be nice if Orpheus didn't turn around, but that isn't actually the triumphant ending of Hadestown. The Orpheus who doesn't turn around has not changed, is still the trusting and naive boy he was at the top of the show, unable to imagine anyone would wrong him on purpose. What we want, what the narrative demands for this to be satisfying, is for Eurydice not to turn around. The jaded, scrappy, all I've ever known is how to hold my own Eurydice, who knows exactly how cruel the world is, and chooses to trust her lover anyways. That would be the hero's journey, that would be the positive character arc, and that would be the happy ending.

But Hadestown is a tragedy. So that doesn't happen. Orpheus is asked to walk out of hell. At the top of the show it never would have occurred to him that Eurydice wasn't right behind him, but that view of the world has not survived the trip to the underworld. His goodness and his gift of seeing beauty are eroded by the abject horror of the world he lives in. It's a tragedy because Eurydice, who has no reason to trust anyone, who should be selfish, who probably wouldn't have been with him at the beginning of the show, runs after him with open arms. And he still turns around.
