"blah blah"

no okay but persephone. when you listen to the soundtrack it's like she's a party girl she drinks and has fun but you guys dont understand because every single time she took a drink she grimaced. every single time. not once did she enjoy herself, because it wasn't her indulging in her wants it was her coping. and even!! even during livin it up on top when everyone takes a drink there's a moment of silence where they all look almost disgusted by it. none of them enjoy it it doesn't taste good to any of them yet still they drink it??

#When I was playing Persephone in Hadestown#they had me walk onstage a little bit before Eurydice enters the underworld in Why We Build The Wall#and every time I walked onstage#I would just watch the workers sing#And then Eurydice came on and I tried to look as horrified as possible#and during the last verse I would snap my head over to look out in the audience#I tried to convey that it was like I was singing along against my will#if that makes any sense at all and#during our lady of the underground we had workers on stage BUT#there was a section I always had fun with where we were allowed to call a worker over for “come here brother.. lemme guess” and#then we’d dismiss them and then#during the section where she’s singing “when was the last time you saw the sky..?”#I tried to make it very apparent that although she was looking at the audience#she was singing to herself#And I’ve been wanting to find a way to yap for a while so I hope you don’t mind my reblogging with my own shit#she doesn’t put into words how much she knows them but she interacts with both of them like she’s always known them#but I was always trying to make the audience get the feeling that#although I was acting like I was just a bit of an overdramatic party girl#there was a lot I was dealing with as the character and I was coping unhealthily#CHANT TOO WAS ALSO SUPER FUN#initially my Hades (awesome guy) and I had the idea that we’d come up and down the stairs on the platform#and it was intended to look like we were sort of chasing each other arguing about what was going on#but unfortunately we couldn’t execute that because there was only a set of stairs on one side of the platform#it was still awesome though !!!!! I was onstage during the part where Orpheus was singing and#I’d always close my eyes when he was talking about how “lady persephone’s blinded by a river of wine”#It was just so so fun anyway sorry for the yapping (via @exceptformarvin)

I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.
