I find it fascinating that this Hermes delivers his lines in this song in the same way that one could often hear from a passionate reverend in a church; especially in the later lines, he almost "preaches" them like he's giving a sermon. It's a very intense choice, and while I don't necessarily love it in this instance, it seems like the sort of thing that could be worked into Wait For Me well with the right direction, since the number IS an intense one!
@@Hermes.whistle Ooh! If you know of any public clips or audio, I'd love to hear them! I feel like from what I've seen from Lillias, she has a similar vibe in some ways, kind of intoned towards gospel singing. Levi Kreis was the first I saw, so it's really interesting to me to see such different versions from his!
absolutely agree i saw him last week and was blown away, jordan fisher is great in the role but im glad i got to see Chibuzeze live! he brings such a specific energy to the character that i think makes you root for orpheus more
I saw this exact cast yesterday and after the first act I couldn’t get out of my seat. Everyone in this cast was so absolutely amazing, and when the walls moved I think I blacked out.
I love this musical and this song so much. I only wish this song was the end of the first act instead why we built the wall. It ends with such an amazing energy
I saw this performance!!!!!! It was so good oml my first musical ever 🥲 I’ll never forget this and all the recording I find on RU-vid will never do these singers justice fr. They’re all so good
I got to see this show in NYC and when I saw the lights swinging I was just waiting to see if someone in the first row would stand up because it looked like it was about to hit their heads
Lmao, the lights are perfectly safe for thr audience, actors on the other hands it can depend (3 different Orpheus's have been hit with one lmao) but yes if they stood up they would he alright! :)
Cast change doesn't happen until October! Nick originally left early so Chibueze became principal early, it seems that's going to keep happening! Chibueze has also been with the tour for 2 years so he probably has more opportunities to do by this time :))
Definitely agree that Nathan Lee isn’t my favourite but honestly Levi Kreis’ Wait For Me isn’t my favourite either and I love everything else I’ve seen from him, so it might just be this. Chibueze is wonderful though.
Chibuzeze did amazing… Nathan Lee takes a bit to get used to. I feel like he’s upstaging at the wrong moments. Overall, it was great though! Happen to have more of Nathan Lee? Perhaps we’re judging him too hard and he’s actually swell in other parts of the show.
I actually walked out on Wednesday. They have really camped up the show. I loved the obc and the first tour cast was ok. This orpheus was out and his replacement wasn't a strong singer. Eurydice was good singer but bad actress. Idt anyone could ruin Hadestown for me.
I saw the show with Nathan Lee literally just yesterday and I can agree he was a bit much. I still really enjoyed the show but his voice was so much higher than I had been expecting. Overall he still did a really good job but was definitely my least favorite out of the cast I saw
@@Brawl483 im lesbian but it's not about his sexuality it's about his voice, both straight and gay people can have a voice like that and it's not somthing specific vocally to the character, besides this is only one video and we never mentioned his sexuality
@@Brawl483 i was talking about his tone of voice and the way that he overshadows everybody else. levi kraus played a very flamboyant hermes and i loved his interpretation of hermes. my gripes have nothing to do with sexuality.
@@Brawl483 not how that works. You aren't homophobic if you don't like their voice, coming from a lesbian it where to be the same way if it where a woman doing the same thing. We are simply going off a voice and not a sexuality.
@@riff__rafferty I think maybe more people will eventually like him when they hear more of his voice! I have listening to him more personally since this and I do enjoy it now! :))
