Just got back from the London trip to see this and my GOD they were stunning in the roles! Dónal Finn brought such an easy charm to Orpheus and at the same time managed to be absolutely DEVASTATED and disillusioned in the second act. And Grace Hodgett-Young was so down to earth and gritty compared to his dreaminess, they complemented each other so well! It was such a stellar show, I really really hope we get a West End Cast album because I don't think I can go back to the Brodaway recording without missing something.
@@ZachSchmidt-yl9xm I’ve heard him on album and seen vids on YT but sadly didn’t get to see him live. He’s amazing! I’ve only seen the current touring cast live and was VERY happy with the talents of the cast. I thought this cast was incredible: Amaya Braganza as Eurydice, Lana Gordon as Persephone, Will Mann as Hermes, Matthew Patrick Quinn as Hades and J. Antonio Rodriguez as Orpheus.
Lover, tell me if you can Who's gonna buy the wedding bands? Times being what they are Hard and getting harder all the time Lover, when I sing my song All the rivers will sing along And they're gonna break their banks for us And with their gold be generous All a-flashing in the pan, all to fashion for your hand The rivers gonna give us the wedding bands Lover, tell me, if you're able Who's gonna lay the wedding table? Times being what they are Dark and getting darker all the time Lover, when I sing my song All the trees gonna sing along And they're gonna bend their branches down To lay their fruit upon the ground The almond and the apple And the sugar from the maple The trees gonna lay the wedding table So when you sing your song The one your working on Spring will come again? Yes Why dont you sing it then? It isn't finished Sing it You wanna take me home? Yes Sing the song La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la How'd you do that? I don't know The songs not finished though Even so it can do this? I know You have to finish it Lover, tell me, when we're wed Who's gonna make the wedding bed? Times being what they are Hard and getting harder all the time Lover, when I sing my song All the birds gonna sing along And they'll come flying from all around To lay their feathers on the ground And we'll lie down in eiderdown, A pillow 'neath our heads The birds gonna make the wedding bed And the trees gonna lay the wedding table And the rivers gonna give us the wedding bands
Grace has a wonderful voice, but i think she come up way too strong during her parts. It doesnt work well with the music and theme of the song in whole. Donal executed everythig perfectly to the dot.
