I was watching a Beetlejuice bootleg while finishing this and was dying laughing.

[Hermes:]
How to get to Hadestown;
You'll have to take the long way down
Through the underground, under cover of night
Laying low, staying out of sight
Ain't no compass, brother, there ain't no map
Just a telephone wire and the railroad track
Keep on walking and you don't look back
'Til you get to the bottomland

"So you did tell him." Hades said.

[Orpheus:]
Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming to

[Hermes:]
River Styx is high and wide
Cinderbricks and razorwire
Walls of iron and concrete
Hound dogs howling round the gate
Them dogs'll lay down and play dead
If you got the bones, if you got the bread
But if all you got is your own two legs
You best be glad you got 'em

"It is good advice." Persephone said.

[FATES]

Who are you?Where do you think you're going?

Who are you? Why are you all alone? Who do you- Think you are? Who are you- To think that you can walk a road that no one ever walked before?

{OPHEUS]
La la la la la la
La la la la la la laLa la la la la la la
La la la la la

[Orpheus:]
Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming to

"Thank you." Eurydice said to Orpheus.

[Hermes:]
You're on the lam, you're on the run
Don't give your name, you don't have one
And don't look no one in the eye
That town will try to suck you dry
They'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath
They'll pluck the heart right out your chest
They'll truss you up in your Sunday best
And stuff your mouth with cotton

"The way this verse is delivered reminds me why this is the title song for the musical." Elizabeth said.

[ORPHEUS] Wait for me, (I'm coming!) I'm coming (I'm coming) Wait, I'm coming with you (I'm coming) Wait (Wait I'm coming) for me, I'm coming too I'm coming!

Wait!I'm coming wait for meWait!I hear the walls repeatingWait!The falling of my feet andIt sounds like drummingWait!And I am not aloneWait!I hear the rocks and stoneWait!

Echoing my song

I'm coming!Coming...Coming...

Hades and Persephone wondered of Orpheus could actually do it.
