I was in NYC last week and finally got to see Hadestown on Broadway. Without a doubt the most enjoyable musical I've ever seen. Just an outrageously impressive evolution from the Hadestown album to what she produced for Broadway. At times was so absorbed with watching the musicians on stage, especially the trombone player, that the show (which is itself truly exceptional for its ability to do so much with so little) became secondary.

Saw Hadestown for the second time this weekend in Chicago. Highly recommend it if you have the chance to see it on this tour. The guy they have playing Hades is outrageously great.
