Hadestown

A kickass folk-ish musical that adapts the Greek myth telling the story of the young lovers, Orpheus & Eurydice which parallels that of the older couple Hades & Persephone all while discussing the challenges of living in a post-apocalyptic and capitalist society. Hadestown won eight Tony Awards at the 73rd Annual Tony Awards and was nominated for fourteen Tonys. The show was written by Anaïs Mitchell and is directed by Rachel Chavkin (both Tony winners, respectively.)
Reeve Carney: Wow! I’m so happy to be involved with the production of Hadestown!
Hadestown’s sub-Tumblr tag: WOW, Hadestown swept at the Tonys and deservedly so!

Hadestown

A place where everybody's hungry, everybody's tired, and everybody's slaves by the sweat of the brow. The wage is nothing and the work is hard; it's a graveyard in Hadestown.

Hadestown

Hadestown is the Broadway reimagining of an old tale from ago. Orpheus, one poor baker boy, falls in love with a beautiful lady named Eurydice. They continued to get married, but as we know, people turn on you just like the wind and everyone is a fair-weathered friend. Because of Orpheus’ neglect, Eurydice goes way down to Hadestown where she realizes that she is stuck there forever and will forget that she ever existed. After Orpheus discovers this, he sets out on a journey to save her, telling her to “Wait for Me”. He arrives at Hadestown and is allowed to let him take her home, but only if he trusts her to stay behind him on the way back. He can’t see her, hear her, nor feel her. His doubt came in. Right on the last steps to freedom, he looked back. He saw her there, but now for long as she was killed on the spot. It’s a sad tale, it’s a tragedy
Jeremey: Damn bro my girlfriend left me for some other fuckboy.

Havertown, PA

A suburb of Philadelphia where kids are privleged with a good school district, and a nice place to live. However, there are tons of posers. Kids try to act gangsta wearing baggy clothes and sideways hats. The girls try to be slutty, and the police are Assholes.

Havertown

Havertown is a suburban town approximately 10 miles west of Philadelphia. Close enough to make use of the many advantages but far enough to enjoy space and relaxed living. So many Irish immigrants settled in Havertown that it was said that there were more people in Havertown who claimed to be Irish then there were in Ireland.

Havertown is a rich and colorful town with an excess of Nail Salons and Pizza Parlors, and growing venue of upscale and specialty dining establishments. The schools in Havertown are top end in academics, art, theater and social tolerance. Don't be surprised to run into suburban moms and dads building archery ranges or open fires in their back yards, or out on pub crawls with the neighbors. The police of Havertown are serious, hard working and honest. If you behave yourself then they'll ignore your fire and public drunkenness. If you make an ass of yourself then you'll get to see the inside of a cell.

Folks who live in Havertown tend to stay in Havertown often purchasing homes on the same street where they grew up. People don't outgrow their homes and move on; they simply put additions on their houses. Children graduate from College and move to Philadelphia or wander the country or the world. Most come back to Havertown when they are ready to get serious and start families.
No Karen, I don't want to go drinking in Center City. I'm staying in Havertown; my daughter's in the Haverford High School musical. We're going to walk home after the show and stop for beers and pizza before the entire cast comes back to my house for a bonfire.
