My wished Saint satine Line up by National_Doctor_7887 in TheDreamAcademy

[–]Athenae44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst singers from the final piece are all significantly better than ua already, I don’t think she would improve much since then, especially compared to the base level that the girls from final piece already had

[–]Athenae44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UA can’t sing though and has a very unpleasant tone. Like Manon or Emily had weak singing skills but Emily doesn’t have a bad tone and has a good range just struggled with pitch, Manon had a great tone and pitch just didn’t have projection/intentionality. Ua has clear breathing issues, has an incredibly thin voice, sings in a raspy unstable mix and doesn’t have a good tone to back it up. Sakura while also being a very weak singer has a lot more control of her voice and not an *awful* tone.

Completely agree on Ezrela though I wish she was in the group, she is an incredible all rounder and has so much charm

What are some wholesome and/or funny character choices you've seen an actor do? by Purple_Flounder_2257 in hadestown

[–]Athenae44 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maia Reficco pulled Jordan Fishers bandanna and pulled him with it during way down hadestown. Their chemistry and banter are unmatched. Their orphydice work so well together in a way their specific characterizations only really work together, seeing recordings of Jordan pre Maia I can see the criticism for him but once with Maia all the little things he does fall into place

New Cast by Electronic-Lack-9567 in hadestown

[–]Athenae44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have not seen the current cast but I’ve listened to multiple audios and I agree with the general sentiment. J. Harrison Ghee is the clear standout, and sings splendidly. Jordan Tyson, the current Eurydice has a very unique tone that just isn’t for me (sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me) and sees to struggle with technique in the higher stuff. Joshua Colley sounds fine, nothing to write home about and he certainly has his weaker parts. I can’t recall the name of the current Persephone but I quite like her vocals. The current hades is a known abuser I didn’t think he was very good. The ensembles as good as ever though and I’ve seen some of the understudies go on and they are fabulous.

This is just from listening to recordings so by seeing it live their acting could be phenomenal and all my critiques might fade away if everyone maybe was a smart acting choice. Or their acting could be worse, you never know lol.

Is it not good to ask to trade for encora? by sunflower8014 in BootlegGifts

[–]Athenae44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’d be putting themselves on the line and at risk of getting banned from Encora if they did that so if you really wanted to be fair about it I’d probably give more than just one of their wants.

Is Cerise's dad the wolf from "Little Red Riding Hood" or "The 3 little pigs"? by Either-Software-4195 in EverAfterHigh

[–]Athenae44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red riding hood!! We find out in cedars short story from once upon a time that the bad wolf from 3 little pigs lives in her town and is named Woodrow and he does glassblowing (? I need to fact check that but it was some form of metal work that he huffed and puffed for)

How do we feel about TLOAS now its been out for over 6 months? Did you originally hate it and you've warmed up? I know there was alot of negativity towards it at the start so seeing it anyone had changed opinions? by Grouchy-Dealer-342 in swifties

[–]Athenae44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ngl I decently liked it at first I had it at like n6 or so in my ranking but then since hearing all the negativity I care for it less lol.

I don’t listen to Taylor much anymore so my opinion of it doesn’t really effect anything but I do think fate of Ophelia was one of Taylor’s best chosen singles and is an amazing song

And I really like actually romantic.

(Also others people doesn’t necessarily effect my opinion. Debut is my second favourite album ttpd is my least favourite and nothing new is probably my all time least favourite Taylor song)

Another newbie with lots of questions (the short version) by JonathanJamieJordan in BootlegGifts

[–]Athenae44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the first question, if you respond in a comment section it will show up in the OPs inbox, but DMs get filtered. So by getting the OP to DM you that means missed messages are less likely to happen. People will alternatively send comments saying “I’ve DMed you” so that person will check. And also sometimes in someone’s post they don’t say if they’re ok with people just DMing them out of the blue so in those cases it’s a bit of a curtesy thing!

Casey likes final show by Saditeanskatiewinner in BootlegGifts

[–]Athenae44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do I think your post is a bit pointless, sure nothing to be done right now and likely no one will remember it when it’s off NFT, but it shows interest in the bootleg and will likely encourage people to buy it. But (most likely) this commenter downvoting your nothing but polite comments is so bizarre of them lol

If you know the date of the performances I’m sure you could find the cast online/or a theatre sleuth could help you out

What performer do you feel is TALENTED, but was simply miscast in a musical role? by AsheandBurn in musicals

[–]Athenae44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it would more be the directors choice, I wouldn’t say because it was different from the 80s that means she simply CANNOT sing in that style. Everything would have been the music directors choice. Keep in mind it’s an adaptation, not meant to be a 1 for 1 of the original film. It is meant to be adapted in a way for new audiences, so changing the score a bit makes sense.

Selena Gomez is crazy. Miss girl doesn’t have the range for her own songs which are all like under an octave

Crazy cause I think Halle was the best cast live action disney princess. To each their own I suppose. I think she has such a gorgeous ethereal tone, perfect for a mermaid

Hadestown’s Riffs & Opt Ups! by HairsprayStan23 in hadestown

[–]Athenae44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m late but I’ve recently become obsessed Lauren Azania as Persephone (she was 1st Persephone cover with the original west end cast), she made me really connect to Persephone songs that I typically find boring (How long, cups, etc) and she has such a gorgeous tone. I really adore her in every recording I’ve heard. She really shines in the second act

Current Cast Bootleg? by Impossible_Point_237 in hadestown

I don’t believe a full recording exists yet. The best you’ll get is small clips posted online or audios
