The leather trench coat wearing king snags Eurydice with his dark, slithering bass notes in “Hey Little Songbird,” melting her resolve. Kevyn Morrow’s Hades has a lovely instrument too. Broadway in Boston had no comment on the status of Nicholas Barasch, the tour's regular Orpheus after Ihuoma appeared Wednesday and Thursday nights. The cast is chock full of formidable voices, but Hermes (Levi Kreis) the night’s tour guide on the ride to the Underworld, the singing “Fates” (Belén Moyano, Bex Odorisio and Shea Renee) and Orpheus, portrayed by understudy Chibueze Ihuoma are show stealers. But, Eurydice, who hungers for stability, soon finds herself ensnared by Hades, ruler of the Underworld and god of the dead. 14.Īnaïs Mitchell’s narrative - she also wrote the heartfelt music and lyrics - is an update on the Greek myth of Orpheus, the golden-voiced son of the god of poetry, who falls in love with Eurydice.

How far would you go for love? When things get difficult would you stand strong? Or walk away? Those are the questions at the heart of the thrilling touring production of the Tony-winning ' Hadestown,' which Broadway in Boston is presenting at the Boston Opera House through Nov. Levi Kreis as Hermes and the cast of 'Hadestown.' (Courtesy T Charles Erickson)
