CAST:
André De Shields as HERMES
Reeve Carney as ORPHEUS
LYRICS:
ORPHEUS:
Mr. Hermes!
HERMES:
Hey, the big artiste!
Ain't you workin' on your masterpiece?
ORPHEUS:
Where's Eurydice?
HERMES:
Brother, what do you care?
You'll find another muse somewhere
ORPHEUS:
Where is she?
HERMES:
Why you wanna know?
ORPHEUS:
Wherever she is is where I'll go
HERMES:
And what if I said she's down below?
ORPHEUS:
Down below?
HERMES:
Down below
Six feet under the ground below
She called your name before she went
But I guess you weren't listenin'
ORPHEUS:
No...
HERMES:
So
Just how far would you go for her?
ORPHEUS:
To the end of time
To the end of the Earth
HERMES:
You got a ticket?
ORPHEUS:
No
HERMES:
Yeah, I didn't think so
'Course, there's another but
Well, I ain't supposed to say
ORPHEUS:
Another way?
HERMES:
Around the back
But that ain't easy walkin', Jack
It ain't for the sensitive of souls
So... you really wanna go?
ORPHEUS:
With all my heart
HERMES:
With all your heart...
Well... that's a start
