      As someone who's been told I have a beautiful speaking voice but really, really can't sing, I do strongly appreciate that Hadestown has two of the most powerful spoken-word numbers for a male voice ever, back-to-back (Hermes in "Wait for Me", Hades in "Why We Build the Wall")

      And this is in an otherwise sung-through musical

      I guess I have to say that while Andre De Shields is fucking amazing, I have no quarrel with his performance at all, I even think his choices are objectively the best way to do this show for a big Broadway audience, I do really like Creepy Dirtbag Hermes over Lovable MC Hermes

      My ideal for Hermes' lines in "Wait for Me" would be a mixture of Ben Knox Miller from the concept album and Chris Sullivan from the NYTW live album This direct contrast with Hades' calm, authoritative baritone A frenzied whisper, filled with tension

      The album putting his voice through a filter, so it sounds like a scratchy tape recording, a frayed and worn-out memory playing over and over in the back of Orpheus' mind as he descends into the Underworld

          I do have a lot of thoughts and feelings about the archetypes in the show, and how ideally Hermes is as much a contrast to Hades as Persephone is, on a different axis As well as being this enemy of the Fates The voice of the loophole, the longshot, the million-to-one chance

          (Just as the Fates never speak and only sing, and when they sing they sing in this effortlessly mellifluous three-part harmony Hermes rarely sings as opposed to talk-singing or chanting, and his voice is ragged, imperfect, always with this sly ironic edge)

          I should clarify that I'm not saying that Andre De Shields doesn't get this or doesn't have any of this energy, like I think him introducing the show as Hermes in "Road to Hell" is perfect, it's the ideal version of that song
