Hadestown Original Broadway Cast
Come Home with Me
[HERMES, spoken]
You wanna talk to her?
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes!
[HERMES, spoken]
Go on. Orpheus?
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes?
[HERMES, spoken]
Don't come on too strong.
[ORPHEUS]
Come home with me
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Who are you?
[ORPHEUS & Chorus]
The man who's gonna marry you
I'm Orpheus
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Is he always like this?
[HERMES, spoken]
Yes.
[EURYDICE, spoken]
I'm Eurydice.
[ORPHEUS & Chorus]
Your name is like a melody
[EURYDICE, spoken]
A singer, is that what you are?
[ORPHEUS]
I also play the lyre
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Oh, a liar, and a player too!
I've met too many men like you.
[ORPHEUS]
Oh, no
I'm not like that
[HERMES, spoken]
He's not like any man you've met.
Tell her what you're workin' on.
[ORPHEUS]
I'm workin' on a song
[ORPHEUS & Chorus]
It isn't finished yet
But when it's done and when I sing it
Spring will come again
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Come again?
[ORPHEUS]
Spring will come
[EURYDICE, spoken]
When? I haven't seen a spring or fall since...
I can't recall.
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
That's what I'm workin' on.
[ORPHEUS & Chorus]
A song to fix what's wrong
Take what's broken, make it whole
A song so beautiful
It brings the world back into tune
Back into time
And all the flowers will bloom
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
When you become my wife.
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Oh, he's crazy...
Why would I become his wife?
[HERMES, spoken]
Maybe because he'll make you feel alive.
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Alive? That's worth a lot.
What else ya got?
