I find myself comparing the Canadian premiere of Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 to the caviar the ensemble sings about in the show’s prologue.

They won’t get to feel it themselves for a few months yet, it seems
Broadway actor Jewelle Blackman reflects on the strange and sentimental reality of returning to Hadestown after the pandemic.
