Your edits look great! You're writing is very clear and you have a lot of great information to add. Everything you add is very factual and neutral, so I don't think you'll have any hang ups with biases. Your sources are also really great, so props on that! The organization looks concise and clear, but I might add a picture if I were you. Like maybe a picture of the playbill in the box on the right if you can find one? The only other thing I can think of is adding some citations to the intro to show a source that explains the play is an adaptation and its running time - I'm sure one of your sources have that information already. I'm not sure if you're supposed to add citations in a synopsis since it's just a summary of the main text, but if you do, consider adding a citation there. Other than that, I think it looks great! Best of luck!

Merger Proposal
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
I propose merging
Hadestown (cast_recording) into
Hadestown (musical). From what I can tell, the former's content is pretty much all incorporated into this article already, and what little isn't could easily be added with minimal difficulty. --

Support as suggested, the cast recordings article has very much similar information as the main article. -

Oppose, not unusual for a separate article relating to cast albums of musicals, and this lists in some details the original live album in addition to the original broadway cast recording. What I do note however is there is little in the way of naming conventions for articles such as this

Oppose: It makes sense to distinguish the production from the album, which has chart appearances, etc. that are important but which should not be here. —

Requested move 15 December 2019
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Moved as proposed, with the caveat that the concept album is moved to
Hadestown (album).

– Hadestown started out as a musical, and the musical has eclipsed the concept album in coverage and interest. Since December 2018, the musical page has gotten 1,823,080 views, vs. just 125,716 for the album.* The musical article has over twice the number of references, and searching for
"Hadestown" on Google News returns a mountain of stories about the stage musical, not the album.

Support per nom, however I do think it would make more sense for it to be changed to Hadestown (album)Gagaluv1 (

Yeah, plus any confusion can be avoided with a "not to be confused with" note at the top of the page.

I don't feel strongly but I'm a mergist at heart so I'd go with one article. I'd name it
Hadestown cast recordings. Note that this is slightly more concise than
Cast recordings of Hadestown. As for "cast albums" vs. "cast recordings":
Cast recording is the phrase used in the aforementioned article and on the Hadestown cast albums themselves.
