Lillias White's First Night as Hermes in Hadestown 

OMG I just found she originally voiced Calliope in Disney’s Hercules and NOW SHE IS HERMES!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!!

If the gods are gracious, some kind soul will record one of her performances in full and share it with us mere mortals. What an incredibly inspired casting choice, just brilliant!

I need to hear her “his momma was a friend of mine” you have no idea

the amount of fun shes having is so infectious, i wanna see this show so bad lmao but im in the uk 😭😭

I purchased these tickets weeks ago not realizing a Legend would be joining!!! Just saw her today and she was magnificent ! Her soulful voice provides such warmth and fun to the character! the cast was amazing as well!! Love that she was a muse from Hercules and now Hermes! If you can please get your tickets!

she ate this up

I saw her perform recently and I absolutely adore her version of Hermes I only wish I could have an official studio recording of her version

She is INCREDIBLE!

Just saw her tonight and she was AMAZING

SHE’S HERMES NOW??? OMG IM SO HAPPY

Andre and Levi always will be my favorites Hermes. But I love this new version. She make it her own character.

I’m so jealous of everyone who got to see this!

she took us to CHURCH

I got CHILLS!! CHILLS EVERYWHERE! Those RIFFS!! *chefs kiss!!* I love her!!

Why am I tearing up...

I love how every portrayal of Hermes is so different. No trying to emulate the original, just finding the best version of every actor.

those riffs 💕

Finally saw this in 2023 and she was in the role. She was so perfect that I assumed she was part of the original cast. Wow. She totally blew me away.

these are proshot level types of camera angles

Beautiful 🎭❤️

최고야… 내가 어렸을 때 헤라클레스에서 뮤즈였던 배우가 (그때도 헤라클레스보다 뮤즈들을 더 좋아했음.) 젠더프리로 헤르메스를 연기하다니 💖

She took them to CHURCH!!

She as absolutely fabulous! Loved her performance!

if you see me scouring the internet for a slime tut of the rest of this show, no you didn’t (sidenote: idk why but I didn’t know eva and reeve are still playing orpheus and eurydice! I love them so much)

I was in the front row for her debut; a night I will never forget! 🤩

Alright. HELL YES!!! This is the first time hearing about this woman and she killed it.

Absolutely phenomenal!

I can’t get over how much I loved her.

saw her live! amazing!!!

Just saw her and she was incredible. Wow.

The woman has not lost a step at all. Kudos to Ms. White for kicking ass as Hermes

Aunt Lill truly a Legend. Love you Queen

She plays a phenomenal Hermes, and the relation to Hercules just makes her the perfect successor to De Shields!

WOOOOW SO COOL

Bless

Wish I was able to see her.

is this gospel or is this gospel?

That was amazing. My only question is do they still say Mr. Hermes or now Ms. Hermes?

It’s interesting how this woman has yet to apologize for shaming a disabled theatre patron. Check your ego.

Wait they brought back Reeve and Eva??

Damn!

You said you would like a true life story/movie of a black couple . I have a great one of my parents. My father has passed but he always said he wanted a book written about his life.

Did they change the keys for her?

Hey Lillian White!! Are you going to apologize to the young lady you ripped into twice at one of the shows???!!!! Shame on you!

Watched her hadestown not knowing about her. Initially I thought she was given an opportunity for some equity consideration because her role represents a male god. But her presence was just a banger. I realized in the next morning that her voice is ringing in my head so had to buy another ticket before leaving NY😂

Lucky she wasn’t fired over her bs. Actors, just do your job

Mean and ignorant towards deaf theatre goer

no

Can't wait until Jesus Christine Superstar next year...
