Hadestown

So last Sunday, June 8^th , I got a cheap ticket to see Hadestown at the Lyric.

Why a cheap ticket? My budget is low, but I also love and try to support arts and theatre.  You don’t know where you will be seating with a cheapo, and this time I was in the Dress Circle.

The view was pretty good, despite a few taller people in front of me. You probably want to know about the show itself?

Hadestown is a powerful retelling of Orpheus’ legend, moving it to 1930s New Orleans.

The set, costumes, lightning and effects thrill and awe us.

It’s music is powerful and rich with folk, jazz and blues.
However, the best voice of cast is Orpheus – played by Dylan Wood whose male soprano enchants and amazes.

Now am sure you all know the legend, and I most certainly won’t give spoilers on how much is changed. All I will say is get yourself a seat before the train leaves to the other underground.
