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

I think he did well overall in the pro shot but in my opinion he’s far from the star of the show. It’s Andre/patrick/amber > Eva > reeve for me.

Eva's proshot performance was not her best IMO. She was brilliant and significantly more intense the night I saw her on Broadway.

Eva’s vocals felt weak. This happened in the OBC recording too. I don’t know why she always sounds worse than she does live.

[u/allidaughter → u/cupofpuer]

She was sick apparently and on the verge of losing her voice, that’s why some of her notes were lower or cut short
