@racheljoy356: Replying to @fhurrbabies “why do people keep making the show where climate change and hades being the super mega ultra capitalist are main plot points political” what did you think the workers organizing was about 😭 one of the most clearly political musicals ever I #hadestown #musicaltheatre #theatrekid #fandom #theatre

I saw the cast on NPR tiny desk in 2019 and Anais Mitchell was quick to clarify that she wrote this song in 2009

I think a lot of people genuinely believe politics is just "democratics vs republicans", they've forgotten that politics effects every corner of life

Ah yes, Hadestown, the...completely not political...show...[checks notes] that was originally set in an Appalachian mining town where going into Hadestown was similar to going into a mine (hence the canary/songbird line). There's nothing political here !

People who say that about Hades Town really don’t know anything about Anais Mitchell whose mentor is Ani Difranco of all people.

"Even this show" and it's something explicitly about capitalism, unionization, and climate change.

I had no knowledge of Hadestown other than it being about Orpheus and Eurydice when I saw the pro shot the other day and I was SO excited and caught off guard by the anti capitalist messaging. Such a good musical

This song was made LONG before what’s going on in the US just so we are all clear! Patrick Page made that clear in 2019 when he was talking about the song on a morning show!
