i say im fine then i remember this part of the original hadestown nytw production

NEVER FORGET

god the Persephone/Hades and Eurydice/Orpheus parallels in the NYTW production were on point.

Can we also take a moment to remember that in the NYTW version, Persephone had an entire section in “Chant II”? Excerpt:

When I was a young girl, like you
Sister, I was hungry too
Hungry for the underworld
When I was a young girl

When they took it out in the Broadway version I was heartbroken.
