Saw this with my family this morning, really enjoyed it. I'd already seen Hadestown live with them before, but I was excited to see the original cast up close on stage. The performances were AMAZING, everyone in the show killed it. Definitely go see this while its still in theaters if you havent seen the musical!

As for my thoughts on the musical itself, honestly I've loved it for a long time. The more I think about it the more I think it might be a perfect musical. I don't know if it's my personal favorite though. That might have to go to hamilton by default, it was the first musical I was introduced to and I still listen to its songs regularly. Anyway though, Hadestown, yeah I'd call it pretty perfect all things considered. Theres literally nothing about it I'd change, even the songs I don't enjoy as much I still appreciate for its role in the musical. now if only it weren't so damned heterosexual
