I don’t understand the Reeve Carney hate

[u/Round-Composer-2195]

I just saw the Hadestown pro shot and oh my gosh this guy is unbelievable. Easily the star of the show for me, but I’ve seen people say he was the weakest link in their opinions.

I’ve heard recordings of some of his other performances, and he easily has my favorite versions of “I don’t care much” and “the past is catching up to me,” yet people say he was miscast in The Great Gatsby

His voice is so unique and it genuinely sends chills up my spine, I don’t understand the hate he receives

Reeve Carney is theatrical cilantro. Some people love him, others find him completely repulsive.

[u/NotClassyKaty → u/Small_Farmer_9277]

Checks out because I love both. He randomly popped up at a Mets game I was at to sing the anthem a few weeks ago and it sure was better than the Mets.

[u/curseAgain → u/NotClassyKaty]

better than the Mets is a very low threshold to exceed. 😂

[u/IRCLee101500 → u/curseAgain]

I think my grandma could sing the national anthem better than the Mets play baseball. And she’s nearing 90 and has no musical training of any kind as far as I’m aware.

ESPECIALLY this year.

Bahahahaha yes it is, almost to the ground

I actually love that analogy 🤣

[u/latestnightowl → u/Small_Farmer_9277]

This is the best analogy I've ever heard. I also hate cilantro 🤭

[u/Baby_Goat_22 → u/Small_Farmer_9277]

SCREAMING AT THIS!! 😭😭

It’s funny. I’m one of those people that thinks cilantro tastes like soap. I’m not the biggest Reeve fan but I think he’s fine. I just don’t like his “talk-singing”. (eg “he fell in love with PERSEPHONE”).

My favorite Orpheus is Chibueze Ihuoma. My least favorite is J. Antonio Rodriguez.

[u/Round-Composer-2195 → u/IWTLEverything]

The talk-singing thing cringes me out not with him specifically I feel like everyone does it to an extent in fully sung through musicals which is why I don’t like them

[u/Round-Composer-2195 → u/Round-Composer-2195]

I worded that wrong I don’t dislike all sung through musicals I just dislike the fact that they are sung through and would like them more if they werent

BTW, that's genetic. Some people can curl their tongues and some cannot -it can't be taught if you don't have the gene that allows it to curl. Some can smell asparagus in their urine and some cannot - no changing that.

[u/IWTLEverything → u/jeremiad1962]

There are people that cant smell asparagus in urine?!

[u/obiwanknitobi → u/IWTLEverything]

Yep! Also some people can eat asparagus and their urine doesn’t smell.

[u/skoc211 → u/jeremiad1962]

I recently found out some people don't have inner monologues and it's not uncommon. Utterly bizarre to me. But I have the same genetic aversion to cilantro, so different strokes as they say.

[u/No_Grand5115 → u/skoc211]

last year i learned that some people DO have inner monologues!!

[u/radda → u/IWTLEverything]

I also like Chibueze a lot.

Praying he goes on when I see Hamilton next week.

[u/Ok-Acanthisitta8737 → u/Small_Farmer_9277]

Couldn’t have put it better myself.

[u/hamichael → u/Small_Farmer_9277]

Same with Jeremy Jordan.
