Welcome back everyone,

Today is my opportunity to let out my inner theater kid and express my love for Hadestown. Iowa City has a fantastic performing arts scene, which means that Hancher Auditorium regularly hosts off-Broadway productions, such as Hadestown. I got to see it for about 100 bucks with a student discount.

I went in completely blind, with only a vague idea of the story – the best way to do so in my opinion. The national tour cast is INCREDIBLE. Bryan Munar, who played Orpheus, is easily the best one. His performance of “Wait For Me” drove me to tears. I was transfixed for the entire two hours, and I gasped when he turned around at the very end.

I have been using the soundtrack as my movie soundtrack to walk to class. Go see it if you haven’t!!!

Oh, and we got a Playbill too.
