thursday 15th october: Allie Daniel (voice) & Chris Eldred (piano)
‘I've seen Hadestown on Broadway several times, but Allie Daniel's performance as one of the Fates in the pro-shot completely blew me away.
Every time she stepped on screen, I couldn't take my eyes off her. Easily one of the very best Fates I've ever watched.
She really needs to land a role where she's meant to be the focal point’
