yknow what, if hadestown ever closes on broadway, the very last show they should have orpheus not turn around. that would be very cool in a meta way I think.

I said this in the comments but basically if you think of hadestown and its performances as one big timeloop, well, if the show eventually closes then the timeloop will inherently get broken. orpheus's continued failure resets the timeloop and the performance happens again, but if orpheus succeeds, the timeloop breaks and then boom, you have a watsonian reason for the musical to close.

The Barbie movie reminded me about how when I was little my parents were upset that I kept making my Barbie dolls kiss, so they bought me a Ken doll. The next day they found me having a funeral for poor Ken in the garden, he had died of tuberculosis. All the Barbies were in attendance and I buried him under our rose bush. The Barbies were too poor to afford a headstone (it was 1875) so I didn’t mark where the grave was and I never could find him again. He’s probably still there.
