I've seen people compare Jordan and Reeve a lot on social media. But these two play the character so differently it's honestly lovely. Reeve had an airy vocal for Orpheus, making it feel floaty and other worldly. Giving his portrayal a light hearted, lover boy image. Jordan has a earthy, darker vocal (at least in this clip) and it gives his Orpheus a more tortured artist feel. Pulling you into the pain he's feeling about losing his love. A heartbroken widow.
Part of that is due to Jordan Fisher being a baritone. His voice is naturally heavier and darker than a tenor. However, this also leads to baritones having stronger vocals when using their falsetto.
So um, Comparing these two is ABSOLUTELY what we should do. JF is not a tenor, he's a baritone making it WAY harder for him to do this stuff. Reeve is a super clean tenor who has no trouble going high. I'm honestly getting star casting vibes from this one. It takes different PRODUCTIONS to say we shouldn't compare. We shouldn't judge one Emcee in cabaret over another because they shape the production and if you put Alan Cumming in '68 it would mess up the rest of the show. Mr. Fisher is joining a production, while he should have his own take he doesn't get to change the story around it. If he's really going for a, "Tortured artist feel" that CHANGES the story. Idk man, that's my two cents, hope you're well.
I just the show for the first time this past weekend, it was Reeve Carney’s last show - sad to have missed him play this role with Eva! Solea as Eurydice def stole the show. I felt she was a mismatch with Reeve who had the airy and innocent vocals. Jordan and Solea, though. Will be straight up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw Reeve and Eva and original cast twice, Eva once without him wasn't the same. I would absolutely love to see Jordan in this role too, his voice is insane. The thing about Reeve though, he is so naturally a guitar player too that it is just an extension of his arm. The show is amazing even on the road it was wonderful. I listened to the London cast long before we anxiously awaited its Broadway debut. Can't miss with Hadestown!
Absolutely BEGGING YOU, Hadestown, to release a studio recording with this current main cast. They are phenomenal and everyone deserves to experience them!!
personally I feel like Anthony in Sweeney Todd was a miscast for him, but he is MUCH more suited for Orpheus and I'm glad he's getting so long in the roll
I *need* someone to put Jordan in an original production of *literally anything*. He deserves to be nominated and recording. I've seen him on Broadway twice and the man does not disappoint.
just saw this cast today (Lillias white's last hadwstown show 😢) and I 100% agree, they should have given them a recording for this cast, Jordan and Lillias especially
His performance was incredibly beautiful. I've seen so many musicals I've lost count but seeing Hadestown was moving being words. This song and his performance gave me actual chills down my spine-I felt transported into a different reality in that moment. Thank you for creating magic!
I count myself lucky to see this cast. They were all amazing! I knew the story and still they pulled me in. You need to see it live. Worth every damn penny.
Yes!!! I saw him and Solea Pfeiffer last December and the riff he had on stones sold me if his performance until then hadn't already. It's a very small part but I just love what he did with it there.
This is honestly the perfect show for him! He is phenomenal in every role I’ve seen and hear him in, but I feel this one matches him so well acting wise and with the amazing things he can do vocally. I would pay so much money to see him in the role. I just saw the original cast last May on Broadway and was crying within the first 3 minutes of Eva singing. I need a cast recording with Jordan tbh😅
Wow - having seen Jordan in other Broadway roles, what I was NOT expecting was for this to be bordering on a rock vocal. Took me by surprise and I absolutely LOVE it.
jordan was one of the absolute best people you could have casted for this role. You saw an opportunity and you took it. he sounds absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!
The power in Jordan’s voice showcases Orpheus’ desperation in a way I’ve truly never seen before! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear his version! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Reeve will always be my Orpheus as that's when I came across the show, but I am very much excited to see what Fisher does with this role!! Please, Hadestown YT channel, you gotta upload more videos of Fisher as Orpheus singing songs from the show! ❤
I would agree, but I’ve honestly been waiting so long for Jordan to be able to play this role. I think it’s perfect for him! I would love a cast album with him but I know that’s a long shot!
I recently saw this live and Fisher’s performance was Absolutely Gorgeous. Excellent chemistry, youthful, and certainly otherworldly. I cried my eyes out.
I just saw Jordan (and Lola!) tonight and it literally changed my life. I'd seen Jordan before in Sweeney Todd but this was completely different, the energy and stage presence was insane. (Also he came down the isle and stood 2 feet from me, and he made eye contact and smiled at me during the encore😁😁)
Wow, Jordan Fisher's rendition of "Wait For Me" in Hadestown on Broadway is simply mesmerizing! His voice brings such depth and emotion to the character, capturing the essence of Orpheus's journey with every note. The way he seamlessly blends power and vulnerability in his performance is truly captivating. Fisher's talent shines brilliantly in this song, leaving me completely spellbound.
It's so cool to see him play Orpheus. I can still remember watching him play Holden on Liv and Maddie when I was little and thinking he is such a good singer. I can't believe he's made it to broadway! Hadestown is one of my favorite musicals, and it makes me so happy to see that he's come so far. Break a leg Jordan, and congratulations!!!
I’m so happy that I got to see him as Orpheus on Broadway. One of my favorite shows he and the whole cast did so gooood! Would definitely see this again and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Such a good show!
I had the good fortune to see this cast at Walter Kerr this past weekend, and this number was by far my favorite. Completely blown away by the staging and lighting effects. Jordan's performance was rich with emotion. The entire show was absolutely incredible and I was deeply moved, especially as a former theater kid and as a person of Greek descent. Hadestown has quickly become my favorite musical theater show ever. Just beautiful.
if anyone reads this... go see this show... go see jordan fisher. one of the best performances I have ever seen on broadway. his voice is unreal and he brings such beautiful emotion to orpheus
Saw him yesterday! (It was my second time seeing hadestown) and he did amazing, my heart was broken. I’ve spent more time then the average person thinking about this musical and he does amazing
Just saw Jordan fisher tonight as Orpheus and he was fabulous. The other cast members were amazing. We had understudies do the roles of Hermes and Eurydice tonight and they were so good I don’t know how they were ever understudies at all. The whole cast is fantastic. I agree with anyone who says they should release another recording with the current cast because I want to hear their voices again. Tonight wasn’t enough!
I loved this number so much on Broadway. The stage definitely makes it more emotionally driven with choreo that I found was lacking at the LA performance. I would love to see Jordan doing this ugh I wish I were going back to NYC soon just for some shows.
I saw the show last night with the current cast and I literally spent the whole show with my mouth open in awe and tears in my eyes. I saw the original cast too back in 2019 and they were also incredible but GOD last night was so magical. Jordan and Isa did a fantastic job.
Okay but I’ve only recently discovered hadestown and after seeing Jordan fisher in this I desperately need a recording of the entire thing with him as Orpheus
Hopefully I'll be in the neighborhood again and will get to see him, certainly wouldn't break my heart to see Hadestown again. I was lucky in Sept, I didn't know Reeve was still doing it. This guy seems like he'll kill it too though.
Both new actors made me interested for this play. I never heard abou this one before, but I saw a video with his couple and I love their voices so much. I watched the original cast, but honestly I prefer this one. I wish I could watch everything.
JORDAN FISCHER IS SO UNDERRATED I HOPE TO GOD HE GETS HIS OWN THING WHERE HE IS THE STAR AND NOT JUST THE SECOND FIDDLE TO THE LIKES OF REEVE CARNEY OR BEN PLATT

SERIOUSLY! it’s more than needed
I don't know that I'd ever listen to other music again@@beanie2571
And proshot 🤞
Even the swings who cover. Specifically Malcolm Armwood as Hermes and Tara Jackson as Persephone…*chefs kiss*
🙏 please. Especially with Lola Tung too…
it's never a bad choice to go with jordan fisher (unless he's playing orpheus & he looks back & you return to hell) BUT FOR CASTING, he never misses.
Love this comment
LMAOO
personally I feel like Anthony in Sweeney Todd was a miscast for him, but he is MUCH more suited for Orpheus and I'm glad he's getting so long in the roll
Tbh
I mean, He was pretty bad in the Flash but I chock that up to bad writing
I *need* someone to put Jordan in an original production of *literally anything*. He deserves to be nominated and recording. I've seen him on Broadway twice and the man does not disappoint.
just saw this cast today (Lillias white's last hadwstown show 😢) and I 100% agree, they should have given them a recording for this cast, Jordan and Lillias especially
I mean technically he was in the Sweeney Todd revival recording (sounding beautiful as always) but I agree 100% he needs to be in moreeee😢😢
Holy crap holy crap holy crap. I just got back from seeing this guy live and he is PHENOMENAL. He moved the theater to tears.
literally. saw it about two weeks ago and cried. so did my friend.
I CANT GET OVER THE "I HEAR THE ROCKS AND STONES" IVE REPLAYED IT A MILLION TIMES
His performance was incredibly beautiful. I've seen so many musicals I've lost count but seeing Hadestown was moving being words. This song and his performance gave me actual chills down my spine-I felt transported into a different reality in that moment. Thank you for creating magic!
I count myself lucky to see this cast. They were all amazing! I knew the story and still they pulled me in. You need to see it live. Worth every damn penny.
the little riff on stones omg I LOVE THIS MAN
Yes!!! I saw him and Solea Pfeiffer last December and the riff he had on stones sold me if his performance until then hadn't already. It's a very small part but I just love what he did with it there.

I would pay so much money to see him in the role. I just saw the original cast last May on Broadway and was crying within the first 3 minutes of Eva singing. I need a cast recording with Jordan tbh😅
Right? And his capabilities to control facial emotions is perfect for this too. You can see every wait for me vividly told through just his face
Wow - having seen Jordan in other Broadway roles, what I was NOT expecting was for this to be bordering on a rock vocal. Took me by surprise and I absolutely LOVE it.
Jordan’s vocals never miss I love it
Wow what a cool interpretation of the character! This Orpheus seems like a revolutionary. I can see the workers of Hadestown following him.
jordan was one of the absolute best people you could have casted for this role. You saw an opportunity and you took it. he sounds absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!
The power in Jordan’s voice showcases Orpheus’ desperation in a way I’ve truly never seen before! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear his version! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Reeve is basically Orpheus in real life. That’s why he fits the character so well.😂
What happened to him?
i’m obsessed. i’m so obsessed. HES SO GOOD SOMEBODY GIVE THIS MAN ALL THE TONYS.
I recently saw this live and Fisher’s performance was Absolutely Gorgeous.
Excellent chemistry, youthful, and certainly otherworldly.
I cried my eyes out.
Manifested Jordan as Orpheus so hard and he sounds better than I imagined. I can’t wait to see him perform 🤗
Saw his last night and the flavor he adds…the riffs…I was knocked out a few times.
I just saw Jordan (and Lola!) tonight and it literally changed my life. I'd seen Jordan before in Sweeney Todd but this was completely different, the energy and stage presence was insane. (Also he came down the isle and stood 2 feet from me, and he made eye contact and smiled at me during the encore😁😁)

God I literally can’t stop listening to this his voice is just so amazing
Also I need him to release a rock song now his vocals are perfect for it
It's so cool to see him play Orpheus. I can still remember watching him play Holden on Liv and Maddie when I was little and thinking he is such a good singer. I can't believe he's made it to broadway! Hadestown is one of my favorite musicals, and it makes me so happy to see that he's come so far. Break a leg Jordan, and congratulations!!!
Fisher and reeve are so different and to compare the too is so unfair, theyre both equally amazing and talented and deserve just as much recognition
I’m so happy that I got to see him as Orpheus on Broadway. One of my favorite shows he and the whole cast did so gooood! Would definitely see this again and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Such a good show!
He's doing a great job! Can't wait to see him!!
I have listend to this over and over😭 CHILLS EVERYTIME
Just saw the show and Jordan fishers voice gave me chills.truly blessed with a heavenly voice which makes him perfectly casted.
The way I need a Jordan fisher version of the soundtrack is like I need air to breathe
I saw him this past Tuesday and he rocked it!!!!
This song always gives me goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥. Hadestown is a masterpiece.🥰
Seeing him, in this particular scene, actually altered my brain chemistry. He played this role to perfection.
I had the good fortune to see this cast at Walter Kerr this past weekend, and this number was by far my favorite. Completely blown away by the staging and lighting effects. Jordan's performance was rich with emotion. The entire show was absolutely incredible and I was deeply moved, especially as a former theater kid and as a person of Greek descent. Hadestown has quickly become my favorite musical theater show ever. Just beautiful.
He sounds great! I would be glad to see his entire performance in the show.
His “and we are not alone” just gives me chills. I saw Hadestown literally last November, but I would give a lot of money to see it again.
I really hope we can get a recording of hades town like Hamilton. This play was so good live. Had me in TEARS
I just saw hadestown yesterday it was so good i love thr current cast especially Phillip abd jordan
if anyone reads this... go see this show... go see jordan fisher. one of the best performances I have ever seen on broadway. his voice is unreal and he brings such beautiful emotion to orpheus
I was able to see him in person...let me say: mesmerizing!! Jordan, Solea, and the entire cast had me entranced! They stepped into the roles so well!
I’m getting the pleasure to work with Jordan in February, and I am very impressed with what he does on the stage!
I just saw Jordan Fisher on Sat in Hadestown. Absolutely loved his performance. Unforgettable.
I absolutely NEED to see Jordan as Orpheus🥲 I saw Reeva in 2022 and it was one of the best nights of my life♥️
I just recently saw one of Reeve's last shows, and I can honestly say Jordan Fisher is an amazing pick, and he fits the role very well.
Well, guess I have to start saving up for tickets to see this again!
SAW THIS IRL YESTERDAY AND IM STILL RECOVERING RECORDINGS WILL NEVER BE AS AMAZING AS REAL LIFE
Saw him yesterday! (It was my second time seeing hadestown) and he did amazing, my heart was broken. I’ve spent more time then the average person thinking about this musical and he does amazing
Just saw this show live and I had chills during this number!
I love how differently Reeve and Jordan Fisher played the characters they're so different but so good
seeing this live made my soul and i cried so much
what a joy to contrast two takes on a lead role
Just saw Jordan fisher tonight as Orpheus and he was fabulous. The other cast members were amazing. We had understudies do the roles of Hermes and Eurydice tonight and they were so good I don’t know how they were ever understudies at all.
The whole cast is fantastic. I agree with anyone who says they should release another recording with the current cast because I want to hear their voices again. Tonight wasn’t enough!
Who did you have as understudies?
I’m excited! I just found this and can’t believe he’s a part of this! Can’t wait to see more of him in this role 🥰
Jordan and Eva would EAT
I could watch & hear this many times in a row,🙂
I love Hadestown.:-)He's wonderful.😀
How many times have I watched this? Yes 😂❤
I loved this number so much on Broadway. The stage definitely makes it more emotionally driven with choreo that I found was lacking at the LA performance. I would love to see Jordan doing this ugh I wish I were going back to NYC soon just for some shows.
Saw Jordan two days ago and he was amazing! Acting was on point and I could feel a star quality
I saw the show last night with the current cast and I literally spent the whole show with my mouth open in awe and tears in my eyes. I saw the original cast too back in 2019 and they were also incredible but GOD last night was so magical. Jordan and Isa did a fantastic job.
Finding out Fisher was cast as Orpheus just makes me all the more giddy in my admiration for his performing prowess
THE STONES RUN
One of these days he’s gonna be an original cast member for literally ANYTHING and finally get the tony he’s deserved for so long now
Jordan is a genius ❤
Beautiful. Just beautiful!
I like how he sounds more angry. Like Orpheus’s angry with the Gods. With himself.
why people always say this with black leads 😭 he does not sound angry, at least not to me. more mournful, and determined
He sounds tortured.
This is EPIC!!!
Okay but I’ve only recently discovered hadestown and after seeing Jordan fisher in this I desperately need a recording of the entire thing with him as Orpheus
There's an audio recording somewhere on youtube.
PLEASE GOD I NEED THIS RELEASED ON SPOTIFY
My Mum: Why Do I Keep Hearing This Song?
Me: BECAUSE JORDAN FISHER , ... DUH
He's so beautiful 😍
This guy and Antony knock my socks off
actual chills.
FANTASTIC
Hopefully I'll be in the neighborhood again and will get to see him, certainly wouldn't break my heart to see Hadestown again. I was lucky in Sept, I didn't know Reeve was still doing it. This guy seems like he'll kill it too though.
One Jordan fisher will always do is maintain the level of perfection🫶 love Reeve and love him
SO INTENSE OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
i saw reeve on his 2nd to last show, both singers give the role life and its lovely to see fisher take care of it
Someone PLEASE give this man a Tony before I start crying
Go Jordan! I'm waiting.
“How many times did you watch this??” Me: yes.
In LOVE with this man
nice to see orpheus finally played by someone who emotes after six years.
I LOVE HADESTOWNNN
Chills! ❤
Both new actors made me interested for this play. I never heard abou this one before, but I saw a video with his couple and I love their voices so much. I watched the original cast, but honestly I prefer this one. I wish I could watch everything.
Magnificent !
I wish I lived closer so I could see him live so bad!!!!!
Chills
i love him
Damn Jordan!!! 💯
I was there that day!
jordan fisher is the reason im mad that i live in the uk... i wan to see this man live so badly
YOOO so good
JORDAN FISCHER IS SO UNDERRATED I HOPE TO GOD HE GETS HIS OWN THING WHERE HE IS THE STAR AND NOT JUST THE SECOND FIDDLE TO THE LIKES OF REEVE CARNEY OR BEN PLATT
Oh hells yes.
It’s a win!
That vibrato though>>
Woah let's go
I'LL BE WAITING FOR THE IF IT'S TRUE VERSION PLS RELEASE IT SOON
Its jordans back up voices is the issue on this particular video. But jordans vocals are fit and right as orpheus
