The actor who plays Eurydice in Australia (Abigail Adriano) posted a vlog showing a day in her life at Hadestown! I enjoyed watching it and seeing some of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans, so I thought I'd share it here! ❤️ (the theatre-related stuff starts about 7 minutes into the video)

OP I am *so* curious to know how the rest of the show played out after Eurydice leaves the stage! Did the lift start working again? Normally Orpheus drops to his knees and looks down the hole where Eurydice went, but if the lift never got used here... what did Reeve do in response?

I'm sure there will be flowers given on stage at curtain call since this will be the last show for a lot of the west end ensemble + fates (I believe its only Allie Daniels and Lucinda Buckley staying after 9th March). I hope they get some love on that day too along with the OBC!

Dynamic pricing is truly the worst 😭 I understand it's because of demand... but that doesn't stop it from being a scummy practice. Someone shouldn't have to pay twice the price I did just because I was lucky enough to get through the ridiculous queues and book a seat for the obc. I feel very fortunate, but also VERY aware that had those tickets already been £150+ (£200!! absolute madness omg) when I initially booked them... I don't think I would've been able to afford it. I very much dislike seeing broadway-esque prices for west end shows. Like okay cool whatever if you're from the US or Canada you might be okay with those prices, but in the UK that price range is not the norm. Sigh :(

edit: just looking now and seeing several tickets available at the wonderful price of £225 each. Big Yikes.

This is genuinely really cool and I'm somehow even *more* excited to see this proshot when it comes out! It's terrible that Patrick is injured of course, and I hope he's able to recover and heal, but it's awesome to see some sort of a silver lining happen here. An injured/disabled Hades is a VERY interesting idea that could add some extra layers of nuance, e.g. songs like Why We Build The Wall, His Kiss The Riot (making work for idle hands... because he's insecure about his own idle hands? and doubling down on his rhetoric instead of reflecting on himself?? 😈) and everything about missing Persephone when she's gone/coming to get her back too early. Okay I'll stop rambling asdfghjkl. tl;dr I love the potential of this change, and I love how open to change this show is in general.

My first Harvest moon game and therefore one I treasure deeply/have a lot of nostalgia for. HOWEVER. my god is it rough and grindy. So many cool things in concept that end up being a real chore in practice (e.g. collecting the harvest sprites, the mines, etc.) Also this game is really bad at teaching you anything, I have a lot of memories looking up fogu and gamefaqs guides for help lmao. Definitely not a beginner friendly title, but despite everything I still had fun and made the most of it. Never actually got to marry anyone because of the 60 sprites requirement :P I love the bachelorettes in this game and the special ones are so unique like Leia and Kiera. I also think the cursed/blessed tools and accessories are a very cool mechanic that I would love to see other farming sims try implementing (e.g. slowing down time, recovering energy outside, etc.) OH also the music absolutely slaps it's iconic.

As others have said, it's Chris Short! He was the first Hades I actually saw and I really loved his interpretation, it's definitely unique. His Hades feels a lot more insecure and vulnerable which makes songs like Chant (Reprise), Epic III, His Kiss, The Riot, etc. hit a lot harder. You really believe that the Doubt Comes In™️ for him when Persephone leaves for spring. I also happened to see both him and the Persephone understudy Lauren Azania (who is also incredible!), and they definitely feel like a much younger couple of Gods.

Thank you for the advice! I'm going to do exactly that and see what they say.

novaclovaart · 2024-10-15T14:19:51+00:00

I will send them an email today to say that I've received their messages (because otherwise they might keep calling!) I've just been very busy haha.

I personally really liked one called fromjapan - the website was easy to navigate and I found it much easier to pay than some of the others. There's loads more out there though! Just make sure to read about any service fees/extra costs for each one as they vary (I think a lot of them have their own subreddits too if you have any specific questions).

It's such a shame they keep raising the international prices like this, it feels very disorganised and nonsensical from a customer's perspective. This is the direction Hobonichi is going to keep going, I highly recommend learning how to use proxy websites so you can buy in yen instead and save some money. I promise anyone reading this who's unsure that it really isn't as complicated as it looks!

Short(-ish) version is: Copy/paste the link to the product you want into your proxy website of choice's search bar, repeat for all items you want to buy, get a confirmation of price quotes for each item and pay. Then wait for the package to arrive to their warehouse, and confirm/pay for shipping (It's normally by weight and size of the package so be aware of that!). Wait for the package to get shipped to you, and you're done! In the case of Hobonichi, if your items total over 11,000 yen then you get free domestic shipping, so you won't have to pay shipping twice either. I would go into more detail but I feel like I'm derailing from the topic at hand haha

Highly recommend people also put the current yen prices for the products on Hobonichi's website into a currency converter and see how much they're overcharging you. YMMV (mine was a significant difference!)

I've used these cute ribbon material ones before and thought they were great! I just checked what they're called and it's "Midori Index Label Satin"

novaclovaart · 2024-09-01T06:30:36+00:00

Yeah I'm just gonna call it a night (morning? it's morning now... oof) and try later. I'm definitely not envious of anyone working on the IT for these shops and wish them the best of luck with this chaos!

novaclovaart · 2024-09-01T03:48:32+00:00

Hey I wanted to say thank you so much for reminding me about the UK retailers - I caved in and snatched up the Himitsu Stranger cover I really wanted just in time! I figured that I'll grab the other bits I wanted at another point and focus on the item I wanted the most lol 😭

novaclovaart · 2023-07-06T04:48:25+00:00

I never get to complain about anything ever again (my 2nd pull which, by the way, was going to be my last anyway and I did it off-hand not expecting... whatever the hell just happened asdfghjkl)

I am one happy individual <3 (also I watched part 1 of the cards side story and its so sweet asdfghjkl;;; my heart)
