A super cool musical that's like folk music on steroids and it's all about two lovebirds, Orpheus and Eurydice, while also showing off the drama between Hades and Persephone. It's also about how bad life is when you're stuck in a capitalist wasteland with no hope and no bread.

Hadestown is like the musical version of my life. I'm Orpheus, and I'm trying to save Eurydice from the soul-crushing grind of capitalism.

This show is so good, I'd trade my soul for a front-row seat.

I saw Hadestown and I'm still singing 'Wait for Me' in the shower. It's haunting.

A hellhole where everyone's broke, exhausted, and forced to work like dogs for nothing. It's like purgatory but with no snacks and no mercy.

Hadestown is like my job. I work like a dog, get nothing, and the boss is Hades himself.

If I had a dollar for every time I've been in Hadestown, I'd be rich. Or maybe just a little less broke.

Hadestown isn't just a place. It's a state of mind, and I'm stuck there.

A Broadway version of an old myth that's all about a guy named Orpheus who's a lousy lover and forgets his wife, Eurydice. She ends up in the worst place ever, and he has to go save her. But he messes it up. Classic tragedy.

Orpheus is the worst boyfriend ever. He let Eurydice die because he looked back. What's wrong with him?!

I feel for Eurydice. She was stuck in Hadestown because her man couldn't keep his eyes off his back.

That ending broke me. I cried like a baby. Orpheus is a dummy.

A loud, dramatic cry that sounds like someone is screaming their heart out in a karaoke bar. It's the moment when Orpheus realizes he's about to lose Eurydice forever.

I shouted 'WAAAIT FOR ME' so loud my neighbors called the cops.

When I heard 'WAAAIT FOR ME,' I knew I was going to cry.

I screamed 'WAAAIT FOR ME' in the shower and my roommate asked if I was having a breakdown.
