To the contrary of some, I think a Hadestown film is a grand idea! It lends itself to the film format I think better than many musicals. The kinds of environments that are described and the world would be an interesting visual field to explore, especially the background of a world that is both beautiful yet impoverished and drained. I think the aesthetic alone would be worth it. I'm personally thinking along the lines of Oh Brother Where Art Thou? Exploring and expanding upon the designs
Wow that is great footage, including the other photos and videos provided. Daphne sounds great and the ladies look fab, my favorite costume design so far. The filming seems to be going by so fast, with Carnaval, Breathe, the opening, When You're Home, The Club, and several other scenes already having been (all or mostly) filmed.
Well it looks like they may be shooting Carnaval de Barrio hoy. Heard a little bit of Daphne's singing and I think it sounds pretty good, it's not like Andrea Burns, but she sings with personality. Can't wait to actually see her Daniela onscreen.

Indeed. Actually struggling with seeing what the big problem is here to be honest. I mean the guy has kind of been everywhere and I guess it's easy to get overexposed. But most of the fans genuinely love him and still enjoy seeing him wherever he's bound to show up. Most of the world seems pleased with the casting and excited to see the old Usnavi running around next to the talented, young actors.
Not to mention before he was the big Hamilton figurehead, he was just the In the Heights
The British have a very self-deprecating sense of humor- they don't take themselves to seriously, unlike many Americans I suppose. But moreover I don't think it's fair to credit our brief shared history 200 years ago (which most British students don't even really study in any grand detail) with the show's success. It might have a small impact, but when looking at reviews and responses from audiences that's not what I get. It's the story, the way it's told, the
It is a bit strange they haven't announced it yet since he's leaving soon. But I'd put my money on Austin Scott- seeing as he just left the tour a little while ago and dropped some hints that he has some new, exciting engagement coming up soon. I mean it could be something else but the timing seems perfect.
I don’t think were being rude- rather giving good advice. No one is forcing you to go through something you don’t like. Quite honestly I fail to see what your conflict is here: you don’t want to see the show, there’s plenty of other shows you could potentially see (so it isn’t your only option), and the folks at Hamilton certainly have no shortage of willing ticket buyers other than yourself. If you’ve seen enough of the show to decide against it, it&r
I don't see why she can't play both. She's a black-presenting woman living in America- she can quite easily relate to that experience in her portrayal of Donna Summer. She's actually Puerto-Rican and from a Spanish-speaking background- therefore she can relate her experiences in that manner. Ariana is not 'ethnically ambiguous'. There's no effort to hide or disguise who she is- it would only take a Google search. She is both Latina and black, Afro-Latina
If I'm correct, they're still sharing songs, racial tensions, and themes with the original stage show; it appears similar enough and therefore I believe the term 'remake' in regards to West Side Story is more than appropriate. I doubt the minor change of Doc's character will render the story unrecognizable. It could add layers as some have pointed above; Tony working for a Puerto Rican woman; maybe her character could even provide some insight on the confli
Am I the only one who thinks Jaime Camil would make a wonderful Kevin Rosario. I wonder if America Ferrera will be involved- since she seems to be on good terms with Lin (Camila or someone else?).
