Our Take

Anais Mitchell's Hadestown has been making waves in the musical theatre world, and the Original Broadway Cast Recording is no exception. This concept album takes us on a journey to the depths of the underworld, where gods and mortals collide in a stirring retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth.

The album opens with the sultry, jazz-inflected vocals of Patrick Page as Hades, setting the tone for the dark and moody atmosphere that pervades the entire record. Page's commanding presence anchors the production, his deep voice rumbling like the earth itself.

Anais Mitchell's folk-infused compositions are a revelation, blending traditional storytelling with modern sensibilities. The haunting melodies and intricate arrangements draw listeners in, weaving a rich tapestry of sound that evokes both the ancient Greek setting and the modern-day struggles of its characters.

The standout track "Wait for Me" showcases the raw emotion and powerful vocals of Reeve Carney as Orpheus, his voice soaring over the driving rhythm and sweeping orchestration. The chemistry between Carney and Eva Noblezada as Eurydice is palpable, their duets crackling with intensity and passion.

Hadestown is a masterpiece of storytelling and musicality, a modern classic that will surely stand the test of time. Anais Mitchell has created a world unlike any other, where love and loss, hope and despair intertwine in a magical, musical journey that will leave you breathless.
