Edema Rue

Opening night is tomorrow!

this show is a miracle.

it is breathtaking.

I’ve heard the songs hundreds of times and I’m onstage most of the show. I’m tired, stressed, and moving more like a machine than a person. But every night, I am still awed by this story we are telling and the way we are telling it.

These are the stories I live for.

These are the moments I fight for.

This is what it is to be human, and not a cog in a broken system.

I want to write stories that can do what Hadestown does to me.

Creation is freedom.
