Class of 2010's Amber Gray stars as the greek goddess Persephone in Hadestown, a new musical running now at the Walter Kerr Theatre.
From Variety:
"When Gray is onstage—and she is onstage for most of the two-and-a-half-hour show—she never stops moving. She stomps, she slithers, she glides with a silvery liquidness that makes her seem both young and ancient at once. Her mighty singing voice is raspy and coquettish, with bombastic bursts of feeling, much like that of one of her idols, Eartha Kitt. (You can hear Gray in “Way Down Hadestown,” the first single from the “Hadestown” cast album.) She brings an equal ferociousness to her dancing. In a scene in the first act, when Hades summons her back to the Underworld early, she bends over ninety degrees at the waist and holds the position during an extended solo stomp-dance."
