“If It’s True” from Hadestown sung by Damon Daunno at NYTW

I’m forever annoyed that they didn’t include this in the recorded soundtrack. To give some context: this happens right after Nothing Changes, when Hades runs out Orpheus after he snuck in to save Eurydice the first time. By singing this song, Persephone takes his side and the walls open (see: Chant II “Everybody knows the walls have ears. Is it true?”) 

it’s so important to me that everyone who likes the hadestown musical knows about the original concept album cause i actually prefer it and this song is my favourite from it
