In an earlier statement, Michell said, 鈥淓va鈥檚 Eurydice is/was everything鈥損unk rock, tender, mythic. She seems to throw sparks all over the stage. She can do literally anything (and she will!), and I鈥檓 forever grateful she chose to spend so much time in Hadestown. We love you, Eva!鈥�
Added Noblezada, 鈥淚 could鈥檝e never dreamed of the extent of how much my life would be radically blessed by this epic love song of a show. As heartbreaking as it feels to leave, I am comforted by the gloriously infinite memories this show has given me, and I know I can look back whenever and be serenaded by them. There will always be endless love when I think of all the people who were/are part of the adventure. The casts! Crew members and our creative team. Our producers and company management. Family. And especially the tens of thousands of people who support Hadestown and hold the show in their hearts just like we do. Through all iterations, this show will always be about love and rebirth. Muchas Gracias. Salamat. Thank you all so much. Peace out!鈥�
