Early!
I don't think it's really actuality set during any specific period. It's just that the story is being told through the lens/style of 1920's New Orleans. It has no meaning that it's in that style other than maybe connecting the struggles of the early 1920's to the struggles that occurred during the ancient Greek times
[That might be a stretch though]
3:33 The Fates
22:35 it is in fact not the same song! it is the song directly after Come Home With Me and is called "Wedding Song" as you remarked earlier this musical is sungthrough, every song comes one after the other with even the inbetween bits being sung and set to music (these inbetween bits are almost always included in the animatic by the animator!)
Keep in mind this may be the only (but definitely the first musical written entirely on the guitar). You'll find out how that impacts the voice ranges in this show because it does wind up on the low end of the piano.
Hadestown is such a good show. It does a masterful job of having a constant build towards the end. It's a show I can't just listen to one song on its own, I have to listen to batches of songs together (or just the whole thing, let's be real lol)
WOOOOO IM GLAD YOURE WATCHING THIS IM CANT WAIT HEHHE
Hell is not a swear if youre referring to the place, but it is if your using it like "What the Hell?!"
Nick, moments after being introduced explicitly to The Fates: Three women, let me take a guess…. uhhhh, I have no idea.

(Nick, might be worth having the lyrics up alongside the animatic for this one. Might also be worth revisiting Any Way The Wind Blows bc you talked over an important part of Eurydice's character)
It's so interesting that you point out it's hard to tell whether "home" in this is major or minor, because it plays into the themes of the story. We're told upfront in the first number that this is a tragedy–a sad song–but we're told that in a major key. Euridce has been run ragged by fate–every time it feels like it could be getting hopeful, the Fates come in to bring things back down.
Also regarding where and when this takes places, Hermes says it in the opening song; "don't ask where, brother, don't ask when". Also, no. Wedding Song is the song that follows Come Home With Me, for some reason that animator merged them into one video.
Would “Chicago” count as jazz? I guess it’s technically vaudeville. Definitely not as overtly jazz as Hadestown.
Its a train to Hades, which is not Hell. Greek mythology is not Christian mythology. While a lot of people, includ Anais in some parts of this, will conflate the two, but it is very much Greek mythology and not Hell, but Hades. Very different places. Though, again, Anais toes the line a LOT in the musical, it's not one of the most egregious versions.
