2 жыл бұрынAndré De Shields takes his final bows as Hermes in Hadestown Sunday, May 30th, 2022. In addition to the standard curtain call, including Persephone (Tara Jackson) singing "We Raise Our Cups," with Orpheus (Reeve Carney on the liar), the mayor of New York gives a proclamation that May 30th is now André De Shields day. He then closed out the night by singing, "Believe in Yourself" from The Wiz.

I had been putting off seeing this show because, y'know, money. BUT. When I found out this man was leaving in May? Boy, you know I scrounged up enough to hit a train to NYC to see one of his last performances because I was NOT missing this absolute ICON. I am sooooo glad I did. Incredible man, incredible talent.

I would also like to add, I made this comment before watching the whole video and did not put together the "Believe in Yourself" title...I'm officially in tears!!! Love The Wiz!

I saw Hadestown in April. I loved André so much! He brought so much life to Hermes and I can’t imagine anyone else playing him! I cried when I found out he was leaving Hadestown!

André really is a special talent!! He will definitely be missed, but I know Hadestown is in fabulous shape with everyone playing the role now and whoever will take over full time!!

I saw it in April too. Andre was such a star and absolutely amazing. It’s sad to see him go and it’s gonna be hard to picture anybody else capturing his same personality. But, whoever replaces him will surely be amazing as well.
