hey if you’re stuck being in church this sunday here’s a reminder that it’s completely free to think about gay sex and no one can tell. the government doesn’t want you to know this but jesus thinks it’s totally cool
i love that when hermes tells orpheus not to come on too strong, jack kind of gives kurt this annoyed “yeah i know, relax” look before immediately saying “come home with me” to eurydice and how hermes puts his head in his hands like an aggravated father with a son who doesn’t listen to his advice. it’s a little moment but it provides so much insight into what orpheus and hermes’ relationship is like.
I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀
if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

I’ve been trying to find clips of other casts to see if what she does is a new choice or not (let me know if anyone’s seen other Eurydices do this -- I've seen Eva and Maia's Wedding Song and they don't play it this way). Eurydice is always written as stand-off-ish at the start so there's obviously a foundation for it, but the new blocking plays it up in a way that's really interesting. (Also I've only watched the Sep 2 opening night performance so I don't know what else Morgan’s done with the role on other nights). (And to be clear, I'm comparing with other Eurydice performances as a way to explain what I think are unique choices that this production made, not saying one is better than the other).
So when Orpheus and Eurydice are first meeting, Eurydice sits up on the table and at one point Hermes tells her “Orpheus isn’t like any man you’ve met.” In most productions, Hermes places a hand on her shoulder as he says this.
Now in our current version of the show, Kurt’s Hermes reaches a hand toward Eurydice's (Morgan's) shoulder and she flinches back and glares at him. So then he backs away from her with his hands up in a placating gesture.
When Orpheus hops up on the table beside her she scoots over to the edge of it and leans away from him.
Then they sing Wedding Song. In OBC the choreo is a push and pull of Orpheus moving toward Eurydice and her playfully stepping past him to avoid him. Then maybe halfway through the song Orpheus stops moving and holds his hand out for her to come to him (truly stray cat energy). In OBC, Eva brushes her fingers against his and then steps past him again.
In Morgan's version, every time Orpheus walks toward her, Eurydice steps past him and then holds her hand up in a "stop" gesture. When he stops moving and holds his hand out for her, Morgan holds out her index finger, slowly walks toward him and makes a show of touching his palm with just the tip of her finger. Then runs past him again.
[Edit to add: Jack’s Orpheus then smiles down at his hand and rubs the spot that she touched, which was cute].
The rest of the blocking seems to play out the usual way. (Though if you haven't heard it yet, in the Sep 6 show Morgan did an impression of Jack's accent when she's teasing Orpheus about his song. I love her, your honour). Anyway, Orpheus does his first iteration of "La la la la" to conjure the flower, which impresses her, and he ends Wedding Song holding her hand and kneeling like a proposal, the usual.
When Persephone shows up for her song, there's a few lines where she puts an arm over Eurydice's shoulders, welcoming her to the place. Eva's Eurydice also puts an arm around Persephone so they're holding each other shoulder-to-shoulder. But Morgan's Eurydice doesn't touch Persephone back: she keeps her hands to herself and even stands with a bit of space between them, and they don't stay in contact for nearly as long.
Then we get to All I've Ever Known and Morgan's Eurydice is so heartbreaking y'all.
I’ve been alone so long
I didn’t even know that I was lonely
Eva’s Eurydice played this song a little more playfully, more sweetly: she giggles and gestures to herself in a self-deprecating kind of way. She uses the above lines to tell Orpheus “this is who I am, this is what you’re getting,” and she’s using the song to ask Orpheus for permission to hold him.
Morgan's Eurydice feels like she is singing this song to herself. She's still fighting her feelings. She stands so far away from Orpheus on the stage and she looks closed off, refusing to move for those first few lines. When she gets to the below line she sings it forcefully, defensively, like she’s trying to explain herself:
All I’ve ever known is how to hold my own
And then the mask starts to slip and she says it more gently:
All I’ve ever known is how to hold my own
She holds her hand out towards him now, the way he did for her earlier in Wedding Song:
But now I wanna hold you too
But she also stares at her hand, not at him, looking unsure. And so Orpheus stays still and holds his hand out again, allowing her to make the decision. She, so hesitantly, closes the distance between them and, instead of using just her fingertip, this time she grabs his whole hand and practically flings herself into his arms, finally allowing him to touch her.
You take me in your arms
And suddenly there's sunlight all around me
It might sound like a small detail (and tbh I could be reading into it more than was intended) but what I love about Morgan's Eurydice being more touch-avoidant is it makes it feel so powerful when she finally lets Orpheus hold her. It's such a release of tension when she throws herself into his arms the first time.
(You can see him holding her in this video clip).
I think this was the most interesting part to notice, but I’ve also written a description of the rest of the blocking for All I've Ever Known if anyone's curious. Under the cut because this post was getting way too long.
———
After Eurydice lets Orpheus hold her the first time, she walks away from him again:
Everything bright and warm
And shining like it never did before
[Edit to add: Jack’s Orpheus looks down sadly at his arms after she walks away. You can see it in the linked clip: he looks like a kicked puppy].
And then she gets angry and turns toward him:
And for a moment I forget
Just how dark and cold it gets
Like she's accusing him of deceiving her with this brighter world. She charges right up to him and, still angry, sings:
All I've ever known is how to hold my own
All I've ever known is how to hold my own
And he flinches but he’s also completely entranced so he leans in to kiss her because he's an idiot 😅. She reflexively backs up and holds a hand up again to tell him to stop. Then he holds his own hand up to hers, not touching, and they slowly spin around each other. Then she presses both her hands to his chest and starts pushing him
But now I wanna hold you
Now I wanna hold you
Hold you close
OBC (Eva) and West End (Grace) Eurydice both do this choreo too-- pushing him-- and both Eva and Grace go from halfheartedly pushing him to holding onto his arms/hands: Eva's portrayal feels more affectionate during this part as she goes from pushing him to holding his hands and then lets his hands slowly drop from hers as she steps back at the end of the verse. (Not sure about Grace's version, I've only seen the promo video of Grace and Donal on this song which is heavily edited so you can't see much of her performance).
But Morgan's Eurydice has such a desperation to her: she goes from pushing him to cradling his neck, touching her forehead to his, then rubbing her hands up and down his chest, frantically squeezing his arms, his wrists, his hands.
I don’t wanna ever have to let you go
This Eurydice is so touch-starved, she doesn't know what to do with it. She takes both his hands in hers and touches them to her forehead, to her lips. And then she shoves herself away from him again:
I don't wanna go back to the lonely life.
So he walks toward her and she dodges him and walks away from him facing toward the audience.
And then it's Orpheus's verse. Imma be real this was Morgan’s song. Jack did great, but this is all about Eurydice deciding to allow herself to trust him. So I don’t have a ton of observations about his parts of the song. His face looks very sad/concerned throughout Eurydice’s part (for comparisons, I think Donal’s Orpheus is more light-hearted during the song, like in the above clip I linked he seems amused when Eurydice pushes him).
Some highlights for the rest of the song:
* (Eurydice) Suddenly the sunlight bright and warm / (Orpheus) Suddenly I'm holding the world in my arms: Jack's Orpheus is holding Eurydice from behind as she sings her line and he smiles a little and presses his cheek into her shoulder before singing his line. (Basically every time he held her throughout the song he’d nuzzle into her shoulder or the crook of her neck).
* (Orpheus) I’m gonna hold you forever / The wind will never change on us: They’re sitting on the floor together and he's holding her from behind and he kisses the top of her head 😭, and then rests his chin on her head as he sings.
* (Both) As long as we stay with each other / Then it will always be like this: He sits back from her and she sits up facing him so there’s like 3 feet of space between them. Then the song ends and she lunges at him to kiss him and he throws his hands up startled. And then they just keep making out as Hermes starts up the next song lmao, and only break apart when Persephone talks.
* Okay this is from the next song so I’m cheating but when Persephone and Hades descend into the hole at the end of Way Down Hadestown, Eurydice leans over to look down it and Orpheus grabs onto her waist to make sure she won’t fall.
I have been sitting here at work laughing at this new Dan and Phil interview for so long. Omg it made my day. So many hilarious moments. The interviewer’s facial expression seeing clips from pinof. Him asking Phil a direct question and Dan about to combust trying to be quiet. What’s the money situation??? Who asks that. Take a drink every time they bring up marriage. Phil saying “we’re splitting it 50/50 ..we think” Dan you better check that bank account haha. I’m also obsessed when they have to explain to a normie who they are what they do why they’re famous and the persons like “…that’s fascinating” lmao
Queer people getting to be open and talk about their desire for sex is important in a world where queer people are prevented from being with the people they want
Asexual people getting to be open and talk about not wanting sex and never having sex is important in a world that tries constantly to sell sex to us as an inevitable activity
Disabled people fighting for the right to marry is important in a world that holds life-saving benefits hostage and prevents one from marrying
Women fighting for the right to divorce or to never marry is important in a world that pushes women into a subordinate role of "wife"
Ex-Religious people fighting for the right to leave a religion or not be forced to convert to a religion is important in a world that subjects everyone to predatory missionary work
Religious people fighting for the right to practice their religion and do so openly is important in a world that prioritized religions over one another--often Christianity but not always
And you could substitute many more things into this. Young people fight to not be infantilized by authority, but they also in some areas fight to not be adultified. Some people have to fight so hard for a variety of reasons to be able to grow out their hair. Some people have to fight so hard to be able to cut it. Some fight to be allowed to wear coverings, some fight to be allowed to wear nothing. Some fight to be left alone, some fight to get the care they need. Some fight to be able to leave, some fight to be able to stay.
None of these comparable fights are opposed to one another, because the fight isn't about the specific thing, it is all about the same thing: autonomy.
Someone's fight to wear a dress is someone's fight to wear pants is someone's fight to live alone is someone's fight to live with someone is someone's fight to be left alone by medical institutions is someone's fight to be able to medically alter their body.
It is the same fight. People who want the opposite for themselves that I want for me are my siblings. We want the exact same thing: the choice to be who we want, how we want, on our terms.
And I WANT that for everyone. I want people to be allowed to choose what I wouldn't, do what I wouldn't, because then I would be free to do what I want and need.

My favorite thing about playing Hermes was getting to design MY hermes. Each actor I've seen takes this part and adds something so so special. The way I decided to play mine was the one that...actually experienced what Orpheus did. See, I don't interpret singing it again and again as telling Orpheus' story, but rather telling the forever cycling and returning story of those who love, those who try to better the world, those who fail.
My friend (underground worker) and I had a lot of fun designing a whole backstory between our two characters. Hermes falls in love with a mortal poet, but before he can even attempt to woo her, she dies in the dead of winter. Hermes already spent a lot of time in the underworld, so the next time he guided souls down...he stayed for awhile. He found her and disguised himself as another worker and quietly used his godly powers to make her work go fast enough for her to have moments with nothing to do. In these precious moments he spoke to her, gave her name. He talked her back to life.
Theres much more, but the point is that Hermes went to Hades to beg for her soul to be returned to the living world. He was unable to meet Hades' challenge/demands and his lover remined as a worker. Hadestown banned Hermes from interacting her and she never knew who Hermes truly was. Hermes was forced to travel between worlds guiding souls and seeing the woman he loved everyday without being about to speak to her. All she knew was that the one person who seemed to care, to look into her eyes...just stopped coming.
My Hermes knows how it ends NOT just because he's seen it over and over.
He lives it over and over.
Each and every time he crosses to the underworld and returns without the woman he loves.
And yet? Everytime he returns, he still looks for her. Still hopes. Still begins to sing again and again.
