Eurydice from Hadestown

Eurydice (played on Broadway by Eva Noblezada in the original cast) is the lover of Orpheus in the musical Hadestown.  A destitute human, Eurydice often finds herself at the whims of the Fates is no stranger to the harsh realities of the world.  Despite their differences, she falls for sensitive, optimistic Orpheus.  Eventually, Eurydice follows Hades into the underworld to escape hunger and poverty, only to discover that what awaits her there is even worse.  Eurydice wears an oversized coat against the harsh wind, tattered tights, and a threadbare slip dress.  She also wears a brown vest unbuttoned and a yellow scarf tied around her throat.  When Orpheus performs his unfinished song for her, he conjures a red flower which she carries with her until she departs for the underworld.
