ABC 24's Chelsea Chandler had a chance to talk with Nicholas Barasch, who plays Orpheus.
Barasch said, "The music is just so gorgeous, it really runs the gammit. There's folk, broadway, there's so many genres in there but what really makes it fresh is that you know you can have an intimate moment on stage with me and a guitar and then you also get the big broadway production numbers and the dance, so, it's really quite the spectical, but, can also be very intimate at times."
Chelsea's full interview with "Orpheus" can be found here.
Hadestown will be on stage at the Orpheum Theatre through, Sunday, February 6.
