We went Sunday night. We'd seen the show in Boston at the Orpheum Theatre and I thought it was the most amazing show I'd seen to date. The vocals were flawless. I found last night at PPAC to be too loud at points, at the point of piercing rather than stirring, and vocally inferior to the Boston performance in 2021. But now I am thinking it may have been the audio as you are all suggesting. Though when I have seen Wicked, which has some giant notes, the sound has always been great. We were in the last row of first dress circle.

Reply to Anyone at Hadestown at PPAC last night? We were in the Loge, found it hard to understand what was being said/sung, and at intermission, everyone pulled out there phones to figure out what was going on. by quinnkurk
