Hi my name is Abigail, I was wondering if there would be a possibility of getting audition songs from Hadestown. I really love the songs and would love to use Anyway the wind blows along with Flowers. Thank you
Hi Abigail! Those are both such beautiful songs! I haven’t yet been able to find sheet music for Hadestown, but I did find a nice backing track for “Flowers”. I just added it to our backing track database under “F” here: https://www.theatretrip.com/musical-theatre-backing-tracks-f/
Hope this helps! 🙂
