Just like Eva it seems like he went all out for his last performance, the vibrato on “waaaait” and the “la la la la” segments were gorgeous, some of my favorite he’s ever done
The vibrato on the back half of “waaaaait” is so good! Wish it was on the album. And it does seem like both Eva and Reeve went all out on their last performances, the “la la la” segment here is one of my favorites he’s ever done
I remember hearing in a Hollywood Roundtable interview someone said that when they do stage shows it’s always the last performance where they finally feel like they’ve gotten it right 😭
I was lucky enough to be there for this, and it was like an out-of-body experience. The whole room was filled with so much energy and love for Reeve. I've seen the show 5 times with him, and this was easily his best performance. He was absolutely breathtaking. I was bawling at the end. Such a magical night. So glad someone was able to capture this moment.
I'm gonna say it, and I don't care that this show is (relatively) recent- this number is one of the most iconic stage numbers *ever*. The music, lyrics, staging, props, emotional resonance, how it fits into the overall production but can also be taken out of context and just enjoyed all on its own... it's just astonishing on every level.
The walls opening is genuinely one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced. I had gone into the show completely blind and the surprise was definitely worth it
@@Bird_in_a_TrenchcoatI’d been a huge fan of the album but somehow never knew the walls opened up. When I got there I was kinda surprised that the stage looked smaller than expected, safe to say I was absolutely blown away when it happened, full body chills
I can’t watch this without erupting in goosebumps. The emotion he puts into that last bit… it gets me every time. Imagine singing THIS SONG for the last time. It’s so good.
Thank you so much for putting this out! His voice is so angelic! So sad hes going to be gone but on the other hand im excited to see Jordans rendition of the show! Hopefully theres going to be recordings from his opening night!
He’s such an awesome performer but it does sound like he is experiencing vocal strain because of how many shows he’s done. I hope he heals and gets back on stage soon!
I wish I could have seen Reeve Carney live in Hadestown. I have only listened to the original cast recording of the show with Carney. I'm sure Jordan Fisher will be amazing
I saw the show prepandemic with the original cast, I loved andre as hermes. Reeve was amazing for this last performance but I have to admit the difference between Andre and his replacement as hermes was kind of like nails on a chalkboard for me.
i wish i could travel to new york and see him before his last show, it was sort of like my dream to see him live as orpheus but oh well. hope he excels in whatever he does next!! anyway hadestown turkey when
Reeve was just meant to play this part. He will always be Orpheus. I'm in no way saying that Jordan Fisher isn't doing a great job-- I love his version and I'm already a fan his, have been since his Teen Beach days lol But Reeve just embodies the character more than any character he's ever played in my opinion.
@@Hermes.whistle as an avid theatre goer, it is distracting and it's rude especially when they say countless times to turn it off. People forget how to act in a theatre let alone cant turn off their phones for 2.5 hours to enjoy a show. It really shows how people are obsessed with their phones if they cant turn it off for two hours.
@arex9000 wow it's almost like,,,, not everyone has money to go yet still want other people to enjoy it,,, if it bothers you so much don't go, or just suck it up.
@@arex9000people don't film shows because they're obsessed with their phones, they film it so people who don't live anywhere near new york/can't afford to see the show (ie. the vast majority of theatre fans) van actually watch it. as another "avid theatre goer," i do not give a flying fuck if anyone is recording.
@@arex9000girl im an avid theatre goer, i want more people to record in theatres because EVERYONE deserves to experience theatre. i have not once been distracted for more than a brief moment by anyone filming, and personally i believe that that brief moment isnt important enough to justify stopping recording
whoa . . . . when did reeve start using vibrato?! also, it is really annoying me that lillias white is not doing her part to the beat. the beat is one of the coolest things about this song. :| :|
I think she plays with the rhythm just right and just enough. With a higher voice (ie female voice, unlike Andre De Shields or other male Hermes actors), she either has to shout or push hard to be heard above the orchestra and chorus, so the odd off-beat line works well to separate her voice and keep the narrative clear. But I also noticed Reeve is late to the beat too, and the Fates are holding their notes way longer too. So it isn’t just Lillias.
I’ll be honest, I loved Reeve in the show, but I wouldn’t have wanted to be at this final performance with everyone whooping and cheering every 5 seconds! 😅
@thetradge same. I'm glad I saw it when I could just hear the music and voices more clearly.. I know it was the last performance and the audience was showing their love and appreciation just not for me but then I also dislike when someone walks on stage and the cheering starts. Humbug lollll.
@@justforcomments9524 No not at all, you're like me in that you prefer to take in the musical/dramatic content as it was intended without it being broken up by constant audience reactions.
lol i went to this show on sunday with my sister and we were so confused why everyone was clapping and interrupting the songs. the usher was the one who told us it was his last show. ngl it was very distracting but cool to experience
I wish the audience would hush until the song is over or at least wait until there is a break between singing lines. It would drive me crazy to pay so much money to see a Broadway show that is being drowned out by people whooping and cheering. You’re missing out on the best parts when you cheer over the actor’s singing!
