If you ain't six feet underground, you're livin' it up on top!

Amber Gray as Persephone performs "Livin' It Up On Top" from Hadestown in the OBC's first performance in the West End!

What could he do? Where could he turn, twice robbed of his wife? With what tears could he move the spirits, with what voice move their powers? Cold now, she floated in the Stygian boat. They say he wept for seven whole months 📷: @callmelasagna

❝ i wouldn't find the need to tell you 'i told you so' if you weren't so allergic to admitting i'm right. ❞

❝ there are better hills to die on but i find this one quite comfortable. ❞

❝ would you come with me please? i adore your company. ❞

❝ that's not the worst thing i've ever heard but it's certainly up there. ❞

❝ i would love to help you but i'm afraid i'm suffering from a terrible case of 'it's not my problem.' ❞

❝ could you just think about anyone other than yourself for once? ❞

❝ i'm not going to stand here and argue with you about how much you need to get some rest. if i find you passed out on the floor i'm leaving you there. ❞

❝ would you be a dear and shut the hell up. ❞

❝ i know i need help but i'm not quite ready to ask for it. ❞

❝ do you know where we're going or are we just trying to get lost now? ❞

❝ i have confided this in you, please do not betray that trust. ❞

❝ do you like it here? with me? ❞

❝ are you still happy? with me, i mean. with us. ❞

❝ i didn't lie, i simply presented a selective truth. ❞

❝ do you actually like spending time with me? because i feel like all you do is argue. ❞

❝ one of us will eventually have to have the strength to be honest with ourselves about each other. ❞

❝ i want to tell you something i just need a moment to figure out the right words. ❞

❝ if you were the religious type i would challenge god to win your devotion. ❞

❝ don't tell me to quit being melodramatic it's the only time i have any fun. ❞

i want to lick mine and make love to it all night long.

i'm getting crumbs in my bosom.

we'll find some duct tape for you.

one down, how many left? how many are there left?

i think we need to find a place to lay low.

i don't think it's safe to leave tonight.

the streets are going to be crawling with guards and people looking for us.

it might be smart to be down in the cellar tonight.

i can clear out a bit more space.

i was also thinking about the weird cough you have.

jeez, you're the worst.

so, [name], spill your guts. what the fuck is going on?

a few years ago, i had a dream. i had a very intense dream, and in this dream, something asked me if i wanted revenge.

who is the last bullet for?

we don't want to lose you, [name].

i've killed a lot of people on my way here.

i no longer feel in control. i no longer trust myself.

i wouldn't expect you to trust me.

are you afraid you're going to hurt us?

i'm afraid i'm going to disappoint you.

i don't know how to stop this.

i want to hurt them. i want them to know it's me.

i think if we get out of this, either i'm going to need you to save me or finish me.

we can do that, and then if it gets out of control, we bop him on the head and take him to a temple.

i think that's the best plan we have, actually.

we have to kill everyone in as dramatic a fashion as possible.

you think we're going to win them over by showing them how disgusting we are?

i wouldn't mind a few people being scared of us, too.

we're going to knock him the fuck out!

don't worry, [name]. we've got you.

if i start to turn against you, if you think for a moment that i am out of control... please, please do what is necessary.

the moment that i turn on you, the moment that i even threaten any of you is a moment i am not in control. no matter what is happening.

i don't believe you're really sick.

i've heard a cough like that, and it's probably syphilis.

are we going there now?

we can all get a good night's sleep.

i will watch with him.

where do you think the smoke comes out of?

are we spooning?

are they vampires?

you're so intimidating in that costume.

wake the fuck up!

i would like to rage.

is your little butt flap down? are you in the long johns?

fucking hit him this time, will you?

because i just woke up, i've got to pee.

i can't move my lips.

this game is totally fucked.

by the way, i'm holding my dick with one hand and the wand with the other.

yeah, go fuck yourself.

vampires ain't shit!

it's never going to stop being funny.

you're so attractive tonight for some reason. have we been together?

little privacy, please?

should we ask it questions or something?

i think we should probably just kill it.

so newsflash: the fog is bad. we probably need a new hideout.

we should probably get the fuck out.

we stole a lot of wine.

i will attack both of you.

oh god, look at that smirk on his face!

we need a code word.

i'm taking this wig off.

this is the dumbest idea, by the way.

we don't give a fuck. we're walking around. we don't give a shit.

recognize us, i dare you.

i can't have you here! you'll bring them right to me!

i've never seen any of you in the city before in my life.

can we sleep here for the night?

can't fucking earn a living in this land.

i haven't eaten in three days.

the fuck are you talking about?

it'd be nice, for a change, that there'd be someone up to fucking fight for this shithole of a place.

did you really puke, or did you fake puke?

what makes you so sure you can change the tide of this battle?

i did not think you would have lived.

my friends are strong.

i think she's a bitch.

let's go pick a fight with a house.

if i've said it once, i've said it a hundred times. i don't need help.
