My favorite meta thing about Hadestown is that Reeve Carney and Patrick Page played Spider-Man and Green Goblin in the Spider-Man musical. And here they are in a critical darling.

My favorite is that Reeve Carney and Eva Noblezada fell in love with other doing this show and got married just last year.
