Notes on my first night in NYC

1. Hadestown is insane.
2. IN.
3. SANE.
4. I’ve never seen or heard or experienced anything like it.
5. Everything about it—the music, the staging, the acting, the on-stage orchestra, the singing, the choreography, the sets, the costumes, the PASSION—is just off the charts.
6. I have no idea how anyone could learn all the incredible intricacies of the music and the choreography and the staging around the well-utilized turntables.
7. Especially the poor swings and understudies.
8. You could tell the whole audience didn’t want to leave and break the magic when it was over.
9. Did I mention we were in the third row center?
10. Because we totally were.
11. I got two slices of pizza, a Gatorade and a piece of cake for dinner on my way back to the hotel.
12. $28.68.
13. I don’t want to talk about it.
14. I swear I just heard two girls in our hotel hallway call me Danny and invite me to play with them.
