Special Episode: Eva Noblezada & Reeve Carney

They’re the remarkable leading stars who created the roles of Orpheus and Eurydice in the original Broadway company of Hadestown, later returning to the show at the Lyric Theatre in London’s West End for the live cinema capture. Now, the Anaïs Mitchell-penned musical comes to the big screen for audiences across the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Direct from their home Stateside, they celebrate the show that changed their lives and taught them about the power of always believing in love, including stepping back into the show in London, getting a front-row seat to the exquisite performances of their original co-stars and why this cinema capture helps bring detailed, magical moments to the forefront for audiences. Plus, they revisit the early days of the show, including initial audience reactions, why it remains “very hard” vocally to perform this material live each night and why the energy of the audience does impact the performance you see on stage. They also discuss revisiting productions of the show and celebrating every individual take on Orpheus and Eurydice, the “devastating” feeling of watching moments back they’ve never experienced live when performing the musical themselves and why “Wait For Me” Reprise really is “everything”.
