What I liked
The visual design and music composition were both engaging. I also appreciate nonbinary representation.
What I didn't like
2 hours solid is too long for a show with no intermission.
My overall impression
I understand the comparison with Hadestown in tone and style. However, this show does not have the same benefit of audience familiarity with the story to work from, and I did not feel the song content was active enough to adequately help the audience with the worldbuilding and themes. This puts a large burden on the audience to actively work at putting it together, rather than the show structure doing that work to present it to us seamlessly—I felt forced to choose between trying to understand what was happening or just letting the music & design elements wash over me, as I did not feel able to do both.
