“How to get over a breakup that has nothing to do with you?”

This isn’t la la land this is la la la la la la la land I’m so sorry I had to

doubt comes in: *plays* me: *sobs uncontrollably*

“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.

No one: Literally no one: The gods: The whole freaking universe: Orpheus: La la la la la la L A L A L A Edit: D A M 42 likes thank you

“Is every song gonna make me cry or something” YES. YES THEY WILL.

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 ✨

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.

His reaction to Epic III is why I have a reason to smile today

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.

"I NEED TO SEE THIS LIVE. LIKE RIGHT NOW PLEASE-" Literally me listening to Hadestown for the first time, too.

"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

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"

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.

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!!

“this is probably the most beautiful ‘you’re pathetic’ and ‘give up’ song I’ve ever heard”

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...

First la la la: uhh why are there no words? Last la la la: THIS SONG CAN LIFT MY SOUL AND BRING SPRING BACK

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.

"How to get over a heartbreak that has nothing to do with you" Mood

EPIC III IS LITERALLY SO FREAKING GOOD

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.

Stephen during Doubt Comes is the reason this series is called “How Everyone Reacts to _________”

this entire video is such a mood I can’t-

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 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

papers - instrumental isn't a music break it's orpheus getting his ass beat

"Okay, so I'm gonna be sad for the next 70 years" Same

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

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.

My parents at 4 am even though our flight doesn't take off until 11 am: 5:04

“yea, i’d rather die” same

"Oh no the ending" dude I was the same when I realised it

I saw a glimpse of the show and the spinning floor like the one it Hamilton are in it and I am bless

Mood. This whole video is just a mood.

When I saw this live, I did actually cry. I’m so glad you finally did this musical!

I saw this show live expecting to love it, was not expecting it to become my favorite musical but here we are.

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 like the fact you look at different places when you scream and shout at the cast members. As if the cast were there!

I ligit started crying at "doubt comes in"😭

He’s still wearing the iconic Matilda shirt 😂

I finished the whole sountrack yesterday just 4 this 😄

Please do how we all reacted to Come From Away

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"

I saw one of your other videos about Dear Evan Hansen. Then KZfaq 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!

Hadestown is my life and I relate to this on a personal level

I sobbed my face off IN FRONT OF MY DAD after listening to We Raise Our Cups

Congratulations on hitting 35k subs! 🎉🎉

10:31 Spends the rest of his days wandering the world singing his sad song

The one dislike is Hades

I was hoping for a different end while listening to it too💔

JAJAJAJAJA Me encantan todas tus expresiones, en verdad eres unico😂💕 literalmente dijiste todo lo que pensabaa😂🌷

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 a wreck at doubt comes in when i saw hadestown. Literally my face had streaks from crying

"How to get over a heartbreack that has nothing to do with you" made me laugh so hard

This is my favorite musical ever I just subscribed! 0w0

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

I love you so much! ❤️ YOU ARE FREAKING ANGEL!

You should do a how everyone reacts to Next To Normal

0:42 And she wants to see it the full year round, like they do.

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.

*You know I’d go crazy too if I was stuck in hell* True that

STOP CALLING ME OUT SMH

I. NEEDED. THIS. THANK. YOU

He is such a mood

I mean I know but I'm still intrigued

Lowkey terrified of Hades but like wouldn’t mind if he slid in my dm’s

Can you please do "How everyone reacted to Oklahoma (2019) It's gonna end good😂

the chips are FREAKING down

Try reacting to Frankenstein a new musical

0:00 --> 0:04 me everyday when I wake up

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

"This is probably the most beautiful you're-pathetic-and-you-should-give-up song"

hadestown persephone gives me life

I love hadestown

Thus musical broke me

Music: Hadestown Shirt: Matilda

Laaaa la la la, la la laaaa... laAAAAAA _LALALA_ LA LA LAaaa-

FUCKING TRUE

10:40 my first words

"SHUT UP YOU HAGS" 💀

3:03 W a s that a Falsettos reference?

I feel you XD

Melpomene, the muse of Tragedy, I hope you’re pleased with yourself

Me 24 hours ago

_Matilda shirt_ 👀

No he can’t hear her, that was part of the deal

Lmao you should do the waitress next if u really thought that this is sad

6:27 it’s outdo not intro

Petition to get him to react to Frankenstein a new musical

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.
