I find each character to be so relatable in different ways, at different stages of life, and even simultaneously, in the present time. Hades understands what a powerful motivator fear is, and particularly fear of scarcity--that there won't be enough of something.
"That is if this doesn't bowl you over." She opened the door and stood aside to let me pass through. Haden efficiency apartment 503 was two meters by three meters and entirely bare save for one built-in counter top. I stepped inside and immediately got claustrophobia.
Okay. The Pluto files, while I have strong opinions about how we should think about the solar system, I reserve those for the last chapter Hades because you got to be the Greek.
Her research involved interviewing over 180 cultural leaders across a spectrum of arenas, including Nikole Hannah-Jones, Cornel West, Michael Schur, Bill Hader, and Roxane Gay, just to name a few. Before we get started, just a reminder that we will be opening things up for Q&A later on.
I remember seeing the bassist Chuck Haden playing a solo, and someone had written ---- Charlie? Charlie Haden? Yes. Someone had written something which was going to play along with him. So it was going to listen to what he played and play an accompaniment because it was generating this on the fly.
And I think those would all be the wrong way to play the character. What Hades wants is Persephone-- all of her, all the time. He wants all of her love.
Yeah, that's something, as you're watching the show and you're learning who everybody is, there is no real bad guy in this show. Even Hades -- he's not a bad guy. You just, you have to understand why and the motivations they do what they do.
on the common channel. Some Hadens found that rude. I quickly popped it up.
During Earth’s toddler stage, it was less “pale-blue dot” and more “fiery hellscape.” Lasting for hundreds of millions of years, this period is known as the Hadean eon, after the Greek god Hades , who ruled the underworld. How’s that for “terrible twos”?
Things did eventually start to cool down, but the surface wasn't exactly quiet. The end of the Hadean was the start of a pretty violent period for our planet, known as the Late Heavy Bombardment, when Earth was pummeled by asteroids. What’s that, Dwayne? Ah yeah, that would make me cranky, too.

I'm the writer. My name is Patrick Page. I play Hades , king of the underworld. My name's Eva Noblezada, and I play Eurydice.
And that world, in "Hadestown," being this land of wealth and security and industry presided over by Hades , the king. And the characters kept unfolding in these different ways.
That's fantastic. Great. So for the rest of you guys, when you were developing this story, what were you drawing on? How do you take Hades , this largest than life, mythic character-- the god of the underworld-- and how do you turn him into a person onstage? How do you make him accessible, if you will?
She loves the upper world as well. And so it drives Hades mad-- power mad, mad for money, mad for all of those things that shore up his image of himself.

The Realtor was a small, elegant woman named LaTasha Robinson, and she met me directly outside the Bureau building. One of her Realty specialties was the Haden market, so the Bureau connected me with her to help me find an apartment. Given her clientele, the chances that she might not know who I was were close to nil, a suspicion that was verified as I approached.
And the man, the head at that time of HBO, jumped. And later on, Bill Hader and Alec Berg, the creators of "Barry," said, you know, he said to us, I had no idea that was in Henry.
Do you have a preference on taking something classic and making it your own or bringing someone new to the stage? I will say my preference is always to be in "Hadestown," because I am obsessed with the show. The second that the material was brought to me, I fall in love, like most people who come across this piece.
a song beautiful enough, he could change the way that the world is-- change the rules of the world. And that world, in "Hadestown," being this land of wealth and security and industry presided over by Hades , the king.
And the secret that all actors have is-- what defines a character is what a character wants. And if you would go down the wrong road with Hades , you might say, well, what he wants most in the world is he wants power, or what he wants most in the world is he wants money or influence.
Hades understands what a powerful motivator fear is, and particularly fear of scarcity--I don't know if we answer that question in "Hadestown." But we certainly give you many options to consider.
full of reaction to that um because there must be and then you start to think what about Greek myth you know and people say well what about the river sticks and Crossing into Hades and meeting your ancestors and that is you know by our lights you could say that's a kind of time travel and there are
"Would you like to see those?" "Are they worth my time?" I asked. Robinson shrugged. "Some Hadens like them," she said. "I think they're a little small, but then, they're not designed for non-Hadens." "Are they close by?" "I've got a building of them on D Avenue in Southwest,
right by Federal Center Metro," Robinson said. "The Department of Health and Human Services hires a lot of Hadens, so it's convenient housing for them." "All right," I said. "We might as well check them out." "We'll go there first," Robinson said, and spoke the address to the Cadillac.
"I think it used to be a government office building," Robinson said. "They converted it about 20 years ago. It was one of the first buildings redesigned with Hadens in mind." She nodded me into the lobby, which was clean and plain. A Threep receptionist sat behind a desk.
She walked out of the lift and down the hall. "Assistance is getting slashed so a lot of Hadens are downsizing. Those in town homes are moving into smaller apartments.
desperate so imagine two hundred dollars a year coming in I think their average donation is twenty-five dollars so you keep me clinging to religion facing an eternity in Hades was a big price to pay if I were wrong and if I'm it it to my
Hit men. So I've got a couple of questions that I guess I should get to. I actually want to go back to the very beginning of young Bill Hader, and you grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Yeah. Nothing. People from Tulsa don't make it to Google, I guess.
Well, originally, Anais had been presented with this magical tenor guitar from a fan that said, I think you need this. And ultimately, it worked its way into "Hadestown" over various incarnations. And so originally, I was playing a tenor guitar, which I had never played.

You get Wall Street guys, who are always penny up, penny down, penny up, penny down. I hate that. That would be going to Hades for me. Those kinds of things are artificial to begin with, and they're not very useful, and they're probably being faked by the management, so who cares.
Given her clientele, the chances that she might not know who I was were close to nil, a suspicion that was verified as I approached. She smiled the smile I recognized from years of being trotted out as the official Haden's poster child, part of the official Haden's poster family. I didn't hold it against her.
one of many strange moves, in retrospect, made by Hitler-- the Japanese didn't reciprocate. And his comment was, if Hitler invaded Hades , I'd say a good word for Satan in the House of Commons.
In here is all better, 99 problems and a bottle of beer on the wall, the condensation from whiskey on the rocks, this holy water when applied right, a pit stop vacation from the day for those who can never afford one, a Hades between work and the work of home, a bridge to the well and wet ring your glass makes.
Well, I'm feeling fantastic. Good. And part of that has to do with being in "Hadestown." And I also have read that besides being a performer, you're also a choreographer, a novelist, a director, and a professor?
And the only way to do that is to perform. And right now, the best way of doing that is to be Hermes in "Hadestown." I like it. That seems reasonable.
