Hazbin Hotel: Live on Broadway (2025) Movie Script
1
[city traffic noise]
[horns honking]
[singing "Happy Day in Hell"]
I can do this
-Somehow, I know it
-[audience cheering]
I'll get Heaven behind my plans
There's just no way
I can blow it
Not this once-in--lifetime chance
To change their minds
And touch their hearts
Or whatever angels have
Cheer up, Viv
This'll be swell
Something tells me that today
Will be a happy day in Hell
Okay, but Erika,
just don't sing to them.
-That bitch is halfway down the alley.
-Is she?
Oh, she's dancin'.
Oh, no.
There's a warm, fuzzy feeling
That wafts through the air
Every street so revealing
It's hard not to stare
It's a realm so appealing
It beats anywhere
If you don't mind the smell
It's a happy day in Hell
-Hi, Krystina!
-Go fuck yourself.
Okay!
[audience cheers]
You look amazing!
Oh, my God!
If I can show them
The dream I've dreamed
That every soul can change
Then they will know
Everyone can be redeemed
From the evil to the strange
I can hear all their stories
The lost and displaced
And I know that they're more
Of an acquired taste
But if I open the door
And I give them a place
At my Hazbin Hotel
It'll be a happy day in Hell
Dance break!
[audience cheers]
From the porn studio
Where the cinephiles go
To watch award-winning
Demon bukkake shows
And in Cannibal Town
Where they don't wear a frown
'Cause, holy shit
Oh, my God. Why?
And I don't give a crow
That his brains got in my eye
'Cause I know I can spare them
From Heaven's genocide
-I can do this
-There's an endless trash fire
-I just know it
-That's burning my soul
-I'll get Heaven behind my plans
-Ahh, ahh
-There's just no way
-Like the barbed wire
-I can blow it
-That's shoved in my hole
-Not this once-in--lifetime chance
-Ahh, ahh
To change their minds
[demon]
And touch my parts
Uh, no thank you. I'm just gonna...
Fulfill my destiny!
Your loss, bitch.
I can already tell
Today is gonna be a fuckin' happy day
In Hell!
[music ends]
[cheering]
What?! What?!
Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!
Welcome to Hazbin Hotel
Live on motherfuckin' Broadway!
[cheering]
It is a happy day in Hell indeed,
here at the Majestic Theatre!
Ooh! We got some fancy digs!
I am your host for the evening,
Erika Henningsen,
but you can call me Your Highness.
[cheering]
Yes, my unhinged demonic royal subjects.
[cheering]
Okay. Well, we have
a lot more in store for you.
You're gonna see some familiar faces,
hear some of your favorite songs.
And maybe, you'll even hear
some brand-new songs...
[cheering]
If you behave yourselves.
Tonight, yes, Your Highness,
thank you.
Tonight is all about celebrating
this incredible Hellaverse
that we have built together.
Hazbin Hotel has touched so many of us.
Not like that, you sick freaks.
[laughs]
Uh-uh, uh-uh. No, tonight
is all about having your hearts out
and your horns up.
Can I see some hearts out, horns up?
-There we go!
-[cheering]
Holy cow, we've got
so many good cosplays in the audience.
Can we get a look at this Niffty
over here?
Fuck, yeah!
Fuck, yeah! Oh, my gosh!
Can we get a look at this Lute?
You look amazing!
[cheering]
And Adam,
I hate to say this, but...
you look fuckin' amazing, too.
[cheering]
You guys, this is going to be
such an incredible evening.
You have embraced the Hellaverse
so beautifully.
We love you for doing that.
But there's nothing you have embraced
as much as you have a ship.
You love a ship!
[cheering]
Particularly the ship that features
these next two performers.
But I have to be honest,
if you were to ask me what I think about
this ship happening, all I could say is,
ha, never gonna happen.
[cheering]
Please, welcome to the stage
singing "Stayed Gone,"
Christian Borle and Amir Talai!
[cheering]
[singing "Stayed Gone"]
Welcome home
I'm gonna make you wish
That you'd stayed gone
Say hello to a new status quo
Everyone knows
That there's a brand-new dawn
Turn the TV on!
[director]
Camera speeds, rolling in three, two...
[staff]
Welcome to the show
Top of the hour, we're discussing
a certain has-been who has been spotted
cavorting around town
after a seven year absence.
Did anybody miss him?
Did anybody notice?
More on tonight's program.
So, the Radio Demon is back in town.
Why is he hanging around?
What does that mean for your family?
Well, handily, I've got good news.
He's a loser, a fossil,
and I don't mean to sound hostile
But the demon is a coward
You can take that as gospel.
Taking my viewers? Impossible.
I'm visual, he's barely audible.
Stop giving him the time of day.
Don't listen to a word he'd say.
I hope he had a nice vacay.
'Cause he should've stayed away!
While he hid in radio
We pivoted to video
Now his medium
Is getting bloody rare
Hell's been better since he split
Where's he been? Who gives a shit?!
Salutations! Good to be back on the air!
Yes, I know it's been a while
since someone with style
treated Hell to a broadcast.
Sinners, rejoice!
What a dated voice.
Instead of a clout-chasing,
mediocre video podcast.
-Come on.
-[Amir] Is Vox insecure?
Pursuing allure?
Flitting between this fad and that.
-Is nothing working?
-[Christian] Ignore his chirping.
Every day he's got a new format.
You're looking at the future!
He's the shit that came before that
Is Vox as strong as he purports?
Or is it based on his support?
He'd be powerless
without the other Vees
Oh, please!
And here's the sugar on the cream
He asked me to join his team
-Hold on!
-I said no
And now he's pissy
That's the tea
You old-timey prick,
I'll show you suf-f-f-f...
Uh-oh, the TV is buffering.
I'll destroy you, you lit-lit-lit...
I'm afraid you've lost your signal.
[cheering]
Let's begin
I'm gonna make you wish
That I'd stayed gone
Tune on in
When I'm done
Your status quo will know
Its race is run
Oh, this will be fun
[laughing wickedly]
[cheering]
[Christian]
Yes! Amir Talai, ladies and gentlemen!
[cheering continues]
Broadway debut, baby.
Broadway debut.
[cheering]
[mocking Amir's wicked laugh]
[both continue mocking laugh]
[Erika] Sorry, don't mind us.
We're just practicing our evil laughs.
Sorry.
-Everybody...
-[audience cheering]
That's right, that's right.
Give it up for the voice of Lute,
Jessica Vosk.
[cheering]
Oh, my God!
So, Vosky, some really cool things
happened this week.
-Yes.
-We released a song from Season Two
that your character sings,
called "Gravity."
Yes.
[cheering]
[Erika]
And the people love it.
-The people love it.
-How do you feel?
I honestly, apparently, I sing songs
only with the word "gravity" in them.
And that's absolutely fine by me,
but I have to tell you,
this one's the most badass.
So, I cannot believe
that it has gone so far
in the amount of time
that it's been out already,
but I can believe it
because our writers are so talented.
Oh, my gosh, our writers,
Sam Haft, Andrew Underberg.
-Give it up for them, please, please.
-[Jessica] Yes.
-[Erika] Okay, okay.
-[Jessica] Whoo!
Whoo!
-Jessica.
-Yes.
Jessica, really fast, without thinking,
if you were to gather your Lute brethren,
bring 'em, call to arms,
get 'em all to fly up to this balcony,
what would the Lute call sound like?
Don't think, go.
[vocalizes]
Lutes? Can we get it?
Can we get it?
Now, wait a second, wait a second.
I want to say Lute brethren
and Lute allies.
[Erika]
Yes!
If you can repeat after me...
[vocalizes]
[audience imitates Jessica]
Oh! Trademarking it "The Lute Call."
-Everybody, give it up for Jessica Vosk.
-Whoo!
[cheering]
You will hear more from her later.
But for now,
put your hands together...
You know him, you love him.
You have posters of him
on your bedroom wall.
-I do.
-Give it up, singing "Poison" for...
[both]
Blake Roman!
[singing "Poison"]
I'm not above a love to cash in
Another lover
Underneath those flashin' lights
Another one of those ruthless nights
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I shoulda guessed
that this would happen
I shoulda known it
When I looked in your red-hot eyes
Spewin' all your red-hot lies
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What's the worst part of this hell?
I can only blame myself
'Cause I know you're poison
You're feedin' me poison
Addicted to this feeling
I can't help
But swallow up your poison
I made my choice, and
Every night I'm livin'
Like there's no tomorrow
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me
I'll be yours
My story's gonna end
With me dead from your poison
I got so good at being untrue
I got so good at tellin' you
What you wanna hear
I disassociate, disappear
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So far beyond difficult
To resist another gulp
Yeah, I know it's poison
You're feedin' me poison
I'm chokin' from the taste
And I can't help
But swallow up your poison
I made my choice, and
Every night I'm wasted
Like there's no tomorrow
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me
I'll be yours
My story's gonna end
With me dead from your poison
Poison, I'm drownin' in poison
I'm chokin' from the taste
And I can't help but swallow
Full of poison
I'm sick of the poison
Wish I had something to live for
Tomorrow
[audience cheering]
-Oh, my God, Blake Roman.
-Oh, oh.
Give it up for my boyfriend
Blake Roman, everyone.
Wow.
[Amir gasps]
You get lost in his eyes
and you don't want to be found.
He's so dreamy, those blue eyes.
He's so handsome.
And yet,
it's hard to square what he looks like
and that weird fucking voice
he does for Angel Dust.
[imitating Angel Dust]
Hey, I'm Angel Dust. Kicky, baby.
You know, I think
it's a testament to his charm
that there's a room full of people
that are very sexually attracted
[imitating Angel Dust]
to a guy that kinda sounds like this.
[all laugh]
Wait, hold on.
I want to hear your Pentious.
Okay, okay, okay.
'Cause I do a...
[imitating Pentious]
I can do a Pentious.
-Hey, I'm Sir Pentious.
-I'm also doing a Pentious.
And where are my egg-boiz?
I'm so sad about them now.
[imitating Pentious]
I'm such a good boy. I'm the goodest boy.
I hate you.
We've had some laughs.
Let's maybe have some tears.
We're gonna kick it back to our host
Erika Henningsen
with Jeremy Jordan,
singing "More Than Anything."
[audience cheering]
[playing "More Than Anything"]
You didn't know that when
I tried this all before
My dreams were too hard to defend
But in the end
I won't lose it all again
You're the only thing
Worth fighting for
More than anything
More than anything
I'll shelter and adore you
More than anything
[audience laughs]
When I was young
I didn't really know you at all
I always felt so small
But I hard your stories
And I was enthralled
Th tales about your lofty dreams
I'd listen breathlessly
Imagining it could be me
So, in the end
It's the view I had of you
That shows me
Dreams can be worth fighting for
More than anything
More than anything
I need to save my people
More than anything
I've been dyin' to find out who you are
I've been waiting
Wondering the same thing
Looks like the apple
Doesn't fall far
Took you a while
I've missed that smile
[both]
All that I'm hopin'
Now that my eyes are open
Is that we can start again
Not be pulled apart again
'Cause in the end
You are part of who I am
I'll support your dreams
Whatever lies in store
And who could ask for more?
-More than anything
-More than anything
-More than anything
-More than anything
-I'm grateful you're my daughter
-I'm grateful you're my father
More than anything
More than anything.
[audience cheering]
[overlapping chatter from crowd]
[upbeat bass music]
[Christian] We are at the glorious,
newly renovated
Majestic Theatre,
where the echoing voices of Broadway
are constantly on display.
[voice singing in distance]
It has been pretty thrilling
to merge Hazbin Hotel
and Broadway.
Wait, we're back on Broadway.
[Krystina] To sing these songs
for the first time for a live audience
is so exciting,
I couldn't even sleep last night
because we sing them in the booth.
We sing them alone.
We don't get to hear the band with us
and feel our other cast mates with us.
The fact that we get to, like,
actually be together...
like, literally Amir and I
were walking in crying today.
[laughs] It's, like,
such a beautiful experience.
She doesn't know I'm here.
Love you, mi amor!
I can't wait for the fans to get in here
because I know they're just gonna
like freak the fuck out.
I know that a lot of them flew
like 14 hours
from other countries, from Hawaii.
So, I just wanted to say hi
to a few of them, if I can.
[cheering]
Generally speaking, this is a show
that doesn't have casual fans.
When you like Hazbin Hotel,
you love Hazbin Hotel.
It's a testament to their passion
that they are just here,
lined up around the block
to make it here for this special night.
It's my first Broadway experience,
and I am just so excited
to see how it goes.
This is my first trip to New York City
in general,
so it's a big milestone there, too.
Well, I have never felt
more of a community
when it comes to, uh, shows or events
than I have being here
and experiencing this.
I think, like, what makes me
so excited about this
versus some of the things
that have happened at cons is
I feel like at cons,
they're spur-of-the-moment,
they're short, they're casual.
Um, this is a production.
It's like, on stage.
It's these actors in their element
and like doing
what they're so fucking good at.
And I think that's what's also exciting
about doing this now.
This is after so much of the build,
and them seeing the fans and them learning
and knowing these characters.
So, it's like the perfect time.
[Jeremy] It's so great to, like,
be unhindered with this character
because I always have lots of weird ideas
and thoughts going through my head.
And I can sort of unfilter them all
and put them through Lucifer,
and he can be allowed
to say those things.
[laughs]
[audience cheering]
You guys, we're on Broadway!
[cheering]
How crazy!
Have you made friends
with the people next to you?
-[cheering]
-[Erika] Yes?
You're all like, yes,
now we're all in a polycule.
Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi.
All right. This next song is
the definition of "daddy issues."
[cheering]
Please, give it up for Amir Talai
and Jeremy Jordan
singing "Hell's Greatest Daddy."
-[playing "Hell's Greatest Dad"]
-Ha-ha!
Looks like you could use some help
From the big boss of Hell himself
Check out daddy's glowing reviews
On Yelp
Five stars! Flawless!
Greater than great!
With the punch of a pentagram
I wap-bam-boom, alakazam
Usually, I charge a sacrificial lamb
But you get the family rate
Thanks, Dad
Who needs a busboy
Now that you've got the chef?
[all]
Whoa-oh
Michelin-tasting menu
Free la carte
I'll rig the game for you
Because I am the ref
Champagne fountains, caviar mountains
That's just to start!
[Amir]
Who's been here since day one?
Who's been faithful as a nun?
Who makes you chuckle
With an old-timey pun?
-Your executive producer
-[Erika] That's true!
I'm your guy, your day-to-day
Your chum, your steadfast hotelier
Remember when I fixed that clog today?
[all]
I was stuck, thank you, sir!
I'm truly honored
That we've built such a bond
[voice]
Aw!
You're like the child
That I wish that I had
Uh, what?
I'll care for you
Just like a daughter I spawned
Hold on, now!
It's a little funny
You could almost call me Dad
[music continues]
They say
When you're looking for assistance
It's smart to pick the path
Of least resistance
Others say that in your needy hour
There is no substitute
For pure angelic power!
Who just happens to also be your blood
Ouch!
Sadly, there are times
A birth parent is a dud
They say the family you choose
Is better
[Jeremy]
What a bunch of losers.
Will you butt out of my song?
Your song? I started this.
I'm singing it, I'll finish it!
You tacky piece of...
It's me, yes, it's me!
I know you were all waiting for me
I'm here, what a gas!
Took a while, but I'm present at last
It's me! It's me!
Moxxie!
-[audience cheering]
-Who?
[cheering continues]
[all chanting]
Moxxie! Moxxie! Moxxie!
[cheering]
[Erika]
All right, friends.
Please, give a very warm welcome
to our favorite masochistic housekeeper,
Kimiko Glenn, who plays Niffty.
[audience cheering]
[Erika]
Okay. So, Kimiko,
you have done TV, film, Broadway.
How is animation different?
I mean, it's very different.
But I feel like, based off tonight,
it translates pretty seamlessly.
I don't know. What do you think?
[audience cheering]
So, there'll be more of these.
-Yeah. Well, I mean, hopefully.
-We hope so.
-We do want that.
-We're manifesting it.
-Manifest that, yeah.
-[audience cheering]
Another super exciting thing happened
this week in that we dropped "Gravity."
And we really want to know...
Kimiko and I are dying to know...
I'm your Princess of Hell,
you cannot lie to me.
How many times have you
listened to "Gravity" on repeat?
So many, it's unbelievable.
Give me an estimate. In a row.
Twenty?
Y'all need prayer.
[all laugh and cheer]
We are such a fan of this next song by our
incredible Sam Haft and Andrew Underberg.
Give it up one more time
for Kimiko. Yes!
[audience cheering]
And now, please welcome to the stage,
singing "Gravity,"
[both]
Jessica Vosk!
[cheering]
-[playing "Gravity"]
-Sanctus.
Does no one know
Who you're dealin' with?
Think I'll let it go?
-Forget and forgive?
-Dominus.
-The rage in me
-Yeah?
-Is terminal
-Yeah?
-There's no remedy but to burn 'em all
-Yeah? Burn 'em all.
I still got a job to do
My mission's incomplete
Only a traitor
Could consider making peace
The Princess has to pay
For what she did that day
For what she took away
Storm's comin', I can see the clouds
No runnin's gonna save you now
And hard rain is gonna fall down
Like gravity
Like gravity
Eye for an eye says you owe me a debt
Blood demands blood
Gonna get my hands wet
The flood's comin'
Now you can bet on tragedy
-Like gravity
-Sanctus.
You think you're Hell's great savior
-Will you still when I return the favor?
-Ignis.
Take the one you need
Make you watch 'em bleed
Will you break thinkin'
How you couldn't save her?
Wishin' you were there
When they needed you
The only soul who's ever completed you
Maybe then
You'll get a little heated too
And understand
That this is what I need to do
Storm's comin', I can see the clouds
Sanctus Dominus.
No runnin's gonna save you now
And hard rain is gonna fall down
Like gravity
Like gravity
-Eye for an eye says you owe me a debt
-Yeah!
Blood demands blood
Gonna get my hands wet
The flood's comin'
Now you can bet on tragedy
Like gravity!
[audience cheering]
[cheering increases]
-Uhh...
-Sorry.
-So sorry.
-So sorry about that.
So... sorry about that.
Sorry. Um, everybody, please,
give it up for mi amor, Steph Beatriz.
[cheering]
[laughing]
Sorry. You caught us a little
in the middle of things.
Okay, where were we?
-I have to ask you a question.
-Go ahead.
I stare at you and I forget
everything I'm supposed to say.
I remember.
People are really excited about Chaggie.
Anything that you can tease
for Season Two, my queen?
Mmm...
hm.
[audience laughs]
-I think that was enough for you.
-Oh!
Okay. Steph, I want to know,
besides me,
what are some of your favorite things
about being a part of this cast?
Oh, I love them all so much.
I mean, obviously,
they're incredibly talented,
as you guys have seen tonight.
[audience cheering]
But they're also just the kindest,
funniest, smartest people,
I love hanging out with them.
And I think you're starting to sort of see
our ensemble chemistry on screen.
I mean, it was their Season One,
but you're just gonna see more
and more of it.
Season Two, Season Three, Season Four...
[cheering]
It's very exciting.
We have another sneak peek song
from Season Two
for all of you.
So, please, give it up
for Jeremy Jordan
-and Christian Borle!
-Aah!
[audience cheering]
[playing rock song]
You're acting out like
You want teacher's attention
Well, I'm the principal
Of this eternal detention
I hope you had your fun
But son, it's time to ring the bell
Whoo!
I said, hey, man, you're getting
Way too big for your screen
Now I'm here to drop your punishment
It's gonna be mean
Just in case y'all have forgotten
Who's the motherfuckin' King of Hell
Oh, yeah!
'Cause I'm the serpent
I'm the flame
The mortal world is scared
To say my name
I am so spooky
I'm the shit
I am the living aspect
Of the infernal
So, scream all you want
Mr. TV Head Man
I'm nearly a god!
Who are you?
Just a dead man!
Wow, super scary. I see why
they gave you such a big hat.
Quick thing, though...
It's curious you stopped by
To fight me nail and tooth
All I mean to try
Is to dispense a dose of truth
We sinners do not need a king
We need someone who understands
A different kind of desperate ringing
Respite from Divine demands
New order, like what Lilith had
Envisioned when she threatened them
She knew Hell could be great
And we can make Hell great again
Just imagine if we could
Flip the script
Take the fight back
Way up stairs
And make 'em beg
And say their prayers
And what would happen
If we could run this ship?
Hoist the main sail
Paint the decks
Have a crew mate to protect
'Cause they want us all divided
That is how they keep us down
We got the guts
We got the chutzpah
We got the means
To seize the crowd
If you're not fuckin' stupid
Then you've only got one choice
Me, Vox populi the people's voice
Try to picture if we could
Escape this hole
Never have to live in fear of
Things beneath us may appear 'cause
Here's the kicker
Sinners can save their souls
Not by changing for redemption
But by taking over Heaven
They say Hell's too populated
That's why they exterminate
We've got the numbers
We've got the thunder
Let's annex their real estate
If you want to see a new world
Raise your fist and make some noise
Hail Vox Populi, the people's voice
Manifest destiny, invest in me
The rest will all fit into place
Who's with me?
[singers] Let's unite
And fight for a brand-new realm
Brand-new realm
[singers] We'll direct our destinies as
One nation under Jesus...
I love it!
[singers] Happy days
Are not with Vox at the helm
-That's me
-The future's never tasted sweeter
-Thanks to our charming leader
-Oh, yeah!
Every sinner can be a winner
Let's take our face
To the Pearly Gates
We can have the keys
If we trust the Vees
We give all fellows cause to rejoice!
Hail Vox Populi, the people's voice!
[audience cheering]
So much patter!
[audience cheering]
Oh, my gosh!
How good was that song?
Christian, get over here!
Get over here!
This is unplanned.
Oh, my gosh. Okay.
Yes, we need a towel... good.
Okay, you're sweating, you're schvitzing.
I know, that's what I do.
That was incredible.
-It comes right out.
-[gasps] A BFA!
Christian Borle is no stranger
to the Broadway stage.
This is a two-time Tony winner
over here.
[audience cheering]
Three-time Tony loser,
but we don't mention that.
We don't talk about that.
-That was incredible.
-Thank you.
Everybody's excited about Season Two
because Vox,
the character you play.
Did you know that?
I'm just now figuring that out.
-You booked it. You got Vox.
-Holy fucking shit.
Oh, my God. Cast list went up.
You are Vox.
It's 'cause I wore a TV head
to the audition.
Oh. That's commitment.
People are really excited for you
to step into your big, bad villain era.
How does it feel? Do you like it?
Do you like stepping into that?
It feels really good,
but I wish they'd given me a cape.
-'Cause I can't wait for my cape.
-[gasps]
Viv Medrano, can we get a cape
for this guy?
Here, this can be your tiny cape.
Give me a tiny cape.
[audience laughs, cheers]
Makin' dreams come true.
-It's a little sweaty. [laughs]
-Sorry.
We have one more song
from Season Two for you.
[audience cheering]
And it features
a very special someone singing
with the animated version
of her slippery, slithery,
special little man.
Please give it up for Krystina Alabado.
[audience cheering]
[playing "Piss"]
These Elysian nights
Alone in the golden skies
Lost in a memory
Of how it used to be
When it was only you and me
And our old petty slights
I found home in those
Messy fights
Somehow I couldn't see
Through the cloud of debris
At the scene of the crime
They say time heals all wounds
But the wounds are what I miss
'Cause every brush with death
Meant much more than a kiss
Can you hear me callin'
From way the fuck down here?
Those golden days of brawlin'
Were the best of all my years
I'm bored as fuck without you
Are you bored without me too?
I'm longing for
Just one night more
Of beating the piss out of you
Turf war!
What's the score?
How the hell'd she get on board?!
Egg-boiz, kill that vandal!
Hope you like your minions scrambled
-Oh, shit!
-Get lit
Get your punk ass off my ship
If you say so
Gotta go!
Oh, my God, it's gonna blow!
Another exciting Sin City night
This Sheila's blastin' your ass away
Glorious bloodshed
Under neon lights
I will destroy you at last
They say time heals all wounds
But the wounds are what I miss
And every brush with death
Meant much more than a kiss!
Can ya feel me fallin'?
Though I don't know if it's love
The cuts are healed and scarrin'
-But I still taste the blood
-I still taste your blood
I know I tried to kill you
And you tried to kill me too
You blew a hole
Right through my soul
While I was beating the piss
Out of you
Beating the piss
Out of you.
[audience cheering]
Go off. Go off, Krystina Alabado.
[audience chanting]
Viv! Viv! Viv!
[cheering]
[mouthing]
Fuck.
Fuck.
Please welcome the queen
of the Hellaverse, Vivienne Medrano!
[cheering]
Okay.
[woman]
We love you!
[cheering continues]
Viv, it has been a night.
It's been a day.
And I don't know if I've taken a second.
I'm sure you haven't been able
to take a second
to soak this all in.
So, all together,
we're gonna do it right now.
We're gonna take a deep breath
all together.
[inhales, exhales]
And we're gonna soak this night in.
Viv, when you started creating
these characters and these stories,
did you ever imagine that it would
look something like this one day?
No.
[audience]
Aww.
[cheering]
I just... looking at you guys,
you're all dressed as these characters
that I've been drawing,
you know, for so long.
And, oh, I went the whole day without
anything like this...
[man]
You're the fuckin' queen, Viv!
-[cheering]
-That's fuckin' right!
Thank you!
-Um...
-[woman] We love you!
I never imagined, um,
that it would resonate this much.
I mean, obviously I hoped it would.
Um, I love these characters.
I feel like I've...
my greatest passion is telling stories
and making characters.
And I've been doing it for so long,
and I just...
you know, this was one, I'd had
some of these characters for so long,
and I was just like, I'm gonna do this,
you know,
and you know, I cannot believe
how much it's grown.
And how much love you have for...
And so far, it's only been one season,
but I can't wait for you guys
to see the second.
It's incredible, and I'm very proud of it,
and...
thank you, guys!
[cheering]
We...
[cheering continues]
That's good. You guys nailed that cutoff.
[audience laughs]
These are some fuckin' theater kids,
aren't they?
[audience cheering]
We definitely hope
that you keep telling stories,
keep creating these worlds
because I think I speak for all of us
when I say, the reason
this world is so special to us
is that everybody here
feels like they belong.
And you have seen people,
and you have let them feel like they can
wave their freak flag
high up in the sky.
[cheering]
And you have given us
a whole heck of a lot of hope.
So, on that note of hope,
please, give it up one more time
for Viv Medrano.
[cheering]
And welcome back to the stage
the cast of Hazbin Hotel,
Live on Broadway.
[cheering]
[piano music playing]
[playing "Hear My Hope"]
[cast]
Hear my hope
Letting it go
In every soul that needs
Something to believe
Take my hand
Never let go
Even one soft sound
Can shake the hardest ground
-Hear my hope
-Hey!
Let it thunder
Across this rivalry
'Til every last soul sings
Take my hand
Feel the wonder
In perfect harmony
We'll change our destiny
And many years from now
If any live to hear this song
The story about how we learned together
We are strong
It began with just one note
A crescendo 'til the end
No matter what it takes
Hear my hope!
[cheering]
That is our show!
Thank you so much for coming
to Hazbin Hotel Live on Broadway!
Thank you to the fans, our crew,
RadicalMedia.
Thank you to Amazon, MGM Studios,
and Prime Video!
We'll catch ya next time!
[music continues playing]
[Viv]
Oh, oh...
[Richard]
This is my Broadway debut.
And I kind of manifested this
'cause I knew when I got involved
with the Hellaverse,
I knew that this would make it
to Broadway in some form one day.
And I was right.
The show would not be what it is
without our fandom.
So, to be able to meet them
in the last couple years
and have them here, in cosplay,
watching us sing these songs live
for the first time
is truly mind-blowing to me.
[Stephanie] Hazbin Hotel fans
are so passionate about the show,
they're passionate
about the storylines and the characters.
I'm a huge fan.
I absolutely adore the show.
My favorite song is "Loser Baby."
I just want everyone to sing it.
Hey, guys! Holy shit!
You're a screw's-loose-boozer
An only one-star reviews-er
But you got company
Is that supposed to make me
feel better?
I genuinely want to thank Viv
for making this show.
She has created such a beautiful community
that I've got
to make lifelong friends here.
[man]
All the actors, they really care about us
just as much as we care about them.
We're all livin' in the same...
Get outta here, man.
We're both losers, baby
We're losers, it's okay to be a
I never thought I would see this,
but I'm here and
I'm absolutely hyped for this.
But at least I know I'm not alone
You're a loser
Just like me
You're a loser, baby
A loser, but just maybe if we
Eat shit together
Things will end up differently
Me.
[cheering]
[city traffic noise]
[horns honking]
[singing "Happy Day in Hell"]
I can do this
-Somehow, I know it
-[audience cheering]
I'll get Heaven behind my plans
There's just no way
I can blow it
Not this once-in--lifetime chance
To change their minds
And touch their hearts
Or whatever angels have
Cheer up, Viv
This'll be swell
Something tells me that today
Will be a happy day in Hell
Okay, but Erika,
just don't sing to them.
-That bitch is halfway down the alley.
-Is she?
Oh, she's dancin'.
Oh, no.
There's a warm, fuzzy feeling
That wafts through the air
Every street so revealing
It's hard not to stare
It's a realm so appealing
It beats anywhere
If you don't mind the smell
It's a happy day in Hell
-Hi, Krystina!
-Go fuck yourself.
Okay!
[audience cheers]
You look amazing!
Oh, my God!
If I can show them
The dream I've dreamed
That every soul can change
Then they will know
Everyone can be redeemed
From the evil to the strange
I can hear all their stories
The lost and displaced
And I know that they're more
Of an acquired taste
But if I open the door
And I give them a place
At my Hazbin Hotel
It'll be a happy day in Hell
Dance break!
[audience cheers]
From the porn studio
Where the cinephiles go
To watch award-winning
Demon bukkake shows
And in Cannibal Town
Where they don't wear a frown
'Cause, holy shit
Oh, my God. Why?
And I don't give a crow
That his brains got in my eye
'Cause I know I can spare them
From Heaven's genocide
-I can do this
-There's an endless trash fire
-I just know it
-That's burning my soul
-I'll get Heaven behind my plans
-Ahh, ahh
-There's just no way
-Like the barbed wire
-I can blow it
-That's shoved in my hole
-Not this once-in--lifetime chance
-Ahh, ahh
To change their minds
[demon]
And touch my parts
Uh, no thank you. I'm just gonna...
Fulfill my destiny!
Your loss, bitch.
I can already tell
Today is gonna be a fuckin' happy day
In Hell!
[music ends]
[cheering]
What?! What?!
Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!
Welcome to Hazbin Hotel
Live on motherfuckin' Broadway!
[cheering]
It is a happy day in Hell indeed,
here at the Majestic Theatre!
Ooh! We got some fancy digs!
I am your host for the evening,
Erika Henningsen,
but you can call me Your Highness.
[cheering]
Yes, my unhinged demonic royal subjects.
[cheering]
Okay. Well, we have
a lot more in store for you.
You're gonna see some familiar faces,
hear some of your favorite songs.
And maybe, you'll even hear
some brand-new songs...
[cheering]
If you behave yourselves.
Tonight, yes, Your Highness,
thank you.
Tonight is all about celebrating
this incredible Hellaverse
that we have built together.
Hazbin Hotel has touched so many of us.
Not like that, you sick freaks.
[laughs]
Uh-uh, uh-uh. No, tonight
is all about having your hearts out
and your horns up.
Can I see some hearts out, horns up?
-There we go!
-[cheering]
Holy cow, we've got
so many good cosplays in the audience.
Can we get a look at this Niffty
over here?
Fuck, yeah!
Fuck, yeah! Oh, my gosh!
Can we get a look at this Lute?
You look amazing!
[cheering]
And Adam,
I hate to say this, but...
you look fuckin' amazing, too.
[cheering]
You guys, this is going to be
such an incredible evening.
You have embraced the Hellaverse
so beautifully.
We love you for doing that.
But there's nothing you have embraced
as much as you have a ship.
You love a ship!
[cheering]
Particularly the ship that features
these next two performers.
But I have to be honest,
if you were to ask me what I think about
this ship happening, all I could say is,
ha, never gonna happen.
[cheering]
Please, welcome to the stage
singing "Stayed Gone,"
Christian Borle and Amir Talai!
[cheering]
[singing "Stayed Gone"]
Welcome home
I'm gonna make you wish
That you'd stayed gone
Say hello to a new status quo
Everyone knows
That there's a brand-new dawn
Turn the TV on!
[director]
Camera speeds, rolling in three, two...
[staff]
Welcome to the show
Top of the hour, we're discussing
a certain has-been who has been spotted
cavorting around town
after a seven year absence.
Did anybody miss him?
Did anybody notice?
More on tonight's program.
So, the Radio Demon is back in town.
Why is he hanging around?
What does that mean for your family?
Well, handily, I've got good news.
He's a loser, a fossil,
and I don't mean to sound hostile
But the demon is a coward
You can take that as gospel.
Taking my viewers? Impossible.
I'm visual, he's barely audible.
Stop giving him the time of day.
Don't listen to a word he'd say.
I hope he had a nice vacay.
'Cause he should've stayed away!
While he hid in radio
We pivoted to video
Now his medium
Is getting bloody rare
Hell's been better since he split
Where's he been? Who gives a shit?!
Salutations! Good to be back on the air!
Yes, I know it's been a while
since someone with style
treated Hell to a broadcast.
Sinners, rejoice!
What a dated voice.
Instead of a clout-chasing,
mediocre video podcast.
-Come on.
-[Amir] Is Vox insecure?
Pursuing allure?
Flitting between this fad and that.
-Is nothing working?
-[Christian] Ignore his chirping.
Every day he's got a new format.
You're looking at the future!
He's the shit that came before that
Is Vox as strong as he purports?
Or is it based on his support?
He'd be powerless
without the other Vees
Oh, please!
And here's the sugar on the cream
He asked me to join his team
-Hold on!
-I said no
And now he's pissy
That's the tea
You old-timey prick,
I'll show you suf-f-f-f...
Uh-oh, the TV is buffering.
I'll destroy you, you lit-lit-lit...
I'm afraid you've lost your signal.
[cheering]
Let's begin
I'm gonna make you wish
That I'd stayed gone
Tune on in
When I'm done
Your status quo will know
Its race is run
Oh, this will be fun
[laughing wickedly]
[cheering]
[Christian]
Yes! Amir Talai, ladies and gentlemen!
[cheering continues]
Broadway debut, baby.
Broadway debut.
[cheering]
[mocking Amir's wicked laugh]
[both continue mocking laugh]
[Erika] Sorry, don't mind us.
We're just practicing our evil laughs.
Sorry.
-Everybody...
-[audience cheering]
That's right, that's right.
Give it up for the voice of Lute,
Jessica Vosk.
[cheering]
Oh, my God!
So, Vosky, some really cool things
happened this week.
-Yes.
-We released a song from Season Two
that your character sings,
called "Gravity."
Yes.
[cheering]
[Erika]
And the people love it.
-The people love it.
-How do you feel?
I honestly, apparently, I sing songs
only with the word "gravity" in them.
And that's absolutely fine by me,
but I have to tell you,
this one's the most badass.
So, I cannot believe
that it has gone so far
in the amount of time
that it's been out already,
but I can believe it
because our writers are so talented.
Oh, my gosh, our writers,
Sam Haft, Andrew Underberg.
-Give it up for them, please, please.
-[Jessica] Yes.
-[Erika] Okay, okay.
-[Jessica] Whoo!
Whoo!
-Jessica.
-Yes.
Jessica, really fast, without thinking,
if you were to gather your Lute brethren,
bring 'em, call to arms,
get 'em all to fly up to this balcony,
what would the Lute call sound like?
Don't think, go.
[vocalizes]
Lutes? Can we get it?
Can we get it?
Now, wait a second, wait a second.
I want to say Lute brethren
and Lute allies.
[Erika]
Yes!
If you can repeat after me...
[vocalizes]
[audience imitates Jessica]
Oh! Trademarking it "The Lute Call."
-Everybody, give it up for Jessica Vosk.
-Whoo!
[cheering]
You will hear more from her later.
But for now,
put your hands together...
You know him, you love him.
You have posters of him
on your bedroom wall.
-I do.
-Give it up, singing "Poison" for...
[both]
Blake Roman!
[singing "Poison"]
I'm not above a love to cash in
Another lover
Underneath those flashin' lights
Another one of those ruthless nights
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I shoulda guessed
that this would happen
I shoulda known it
When I looked in your red-hot eyes
Spewin' all your red-hot lies
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What's the worst part of this hell?
I can only blame myself
'Cause I know you're poison
You're feedin' me poison
Addicted to this feeling
I can't help
But swallow up your poison
I made my choice, and
Every night I'm livin'
Like there's no tomorrow
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me
I'll be yours
My story's gonna end
With me dead from your poison
I got so good at being untrue
I got so good at tellin' you
What you wanna hear
I disassociate, disappear
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So far beyond difficult
To resist another gulp
Yeah, I know it's poison
You're feedin' me poison
I'm chokin' from the taste
And I can't help
But swallow up your poison
I made my choice, and
Every night I'm wasted
Like there's no tomorrow
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me
I'll be yours
My story's gonna end
With me dead from your poison
Poison, I'm drownin' in poison
I'm chokin' from the taste
And I can't help but swallow
Full of poison
I'm sick of the poison
Wish I had something to live for
Tomorrow
[audience cheering]
-Oh, my God, Blake Roman.
-Oh, oh.
Give it up for my boyfriend
Blake Roman, everyone.
Wow.
[Amir gasps]
You get lost in his eyes
and you don't want to be found.
He's so dreamy, those blue eyes.
He's so handsome.
And yet,
it's hard to square what he looks like
and that weird fucking voice
he does for Angel Dust.
[imitating Angel Dust]
Hey, I'm Angel Dust. Kicky, baby.
You know, I think
it's a testament to his charm
that there's a room full of people
that are very sexually attracted
[imitating Angel Dust]
to a guy that kinda sounds like this.
[all laugh]
Wait, hold on.
I want to hear your Pentious.
Okay, okay, okay.
'Cause I do a...
[imitating Pentious]
I can do a Pentious.
-Hey, I'm Sir Pentious.
-I'm also doing a Pentious.
And where are my egg-boiz?
I'm so sad about them now.
[imitating Pentious]
I'm such a good boy. I'm the goodest boy.
I hate you.
We've had some laughs.
Let's maybe have some tears.
We're gonna kick it back to our host
Erika Henningsen
with Jeremy Jordan,
singing "More Than Anything."
[audience cheering]
[playing "More Than Anything"]
You didn't know that when
I tried this all before
My dreams were too hard to defend
But in the end
I won't lose it all again
You're the only thing
Worth fighting for
More than anything
More than anything
I'll shelter and adore you
More than anything
[audience laughs]
When I was young
I didn't really know you at all
I always felt so small
But I hard your stories
And I was enthralled
Th tales about your lofty dreams
I'd listen breathlessly
Imagining it could be me
So, in the end
It's the view I had of you
That shows me
Dreams can be worth fighting for
More than anything
More than anything
I need to save my people
More than anything
I've been dyin' to find out who you are
I've been waiting
Wondering the same thing
Looks like the apple
Doesn't fall far
Took you a while
I've missed that smile
[both]
All that I'm hopin'
Now that my eyes are open
Is that we can start again
Not be pulled apart again
'Cause in the end
You are part of who I am
I'll support your dreams
Whatever lies in store
And who could ask for more?
-More than anything
-More than anything
-More than anything
-More than anything
-I'm grateful you're my daughter
-I'm grateful you're my father
More than anything
More than anything.
[audience cheering]
[overlapping chatter from crowd]
[upbeat bass music]
[Christian] We are at the glorious,
newly renovated
Majestic Theatre,
where the echoing voices of Broadway
are constantly on display.
[voice singing in distance]
It has been pretty thrilling
to merge Hazbin Hotel
and Broadway.
Wait, we're back on Broadway.
[Krystina] To sing these songs
for the first time for a live audience
is so exciting,
I couldn't even sleep last night
because we sing them in the booth.
We sing them alone.
We don't get to hear the band with us
and feel our other cast mates with us.
The fact that we get to, like,
actually be together...
like, literally Amir and I
were walking in crying today.
[laughs] It's, like,
such a beautiful experience.
She doesn't know I'm here.
Love you, mi amor!
I can't wait for the fans to get in here
because I know they're just gonna
like freak the fuck out.
I know that a lot of them flew
like 14 hours
from other countries, from Hawaii.
So, I just wanted to say hi
to a few of them, if I can.
[cheering]
Generally speaking, this is a show
that doesn't have casual fans.
When you like Hazbin Hotel,
you love Hazbin Hotel.
It's a testament to their passion
that they are just here,
lined up around the block
to make it here for this special night.
It's my first Broadway experience,
and I am just so excited
to see how it goes.
This is my first trip to New York City
in general,
so it's a big milestone there, too.
Well, I have never felt
more of a community
when it comes to, uh, shows or events
than I have being here
and experiencing this.
I think, like, what makes me
so excited about this
versus some of the things
that have happened at cons is
I feel like at cons,
they're spur-of-the-moment,
they're short, they're casual.
Um, this is a production.
It's like, on stage.
It's these actors in their element
and like doing
what they're so fucking good at.
And I think that's what's also exciting
about doing this now.
This is after so much of the build,
and them seeing the fans and them learning
and knowing these characters.
So, it's like the perfect time.
[Jeremy] It's so great to, like,
be unhindered with this character
because I always have lots of weird ideas
and thoughts going through my head.
And I can sort of unfilter them all
and put them through Lucifer,
and he can be allowed
to say those things.
[laughs]
[audience cheering]
You guys, we're on Broadway!
[cheering]
How crazy!
Have you made friends
with the people next to you?
-[cheering]
-[Erika] Yes?
You're all like, yes,
now we're all in a polycule.
Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi.
All right. This next song is
the definition of "daddy issues."
[cheering]
Please, give it up for Amir Talai
and Jeremy Jordan
singing "Hell's Greatest Daddy."
-[playing "Hell's Greatest Dad"]
-Ha-ha!
Looks like you could use some help
From the big boss of Hell himself
Check out daddy's glowing reviews
On Yelp
Five stars! Flawless!
Greater than great!
With the punch of a pentagram
I wap-bam-boom, alakazam
Usually, I charge a sacrificial lamb
But you get the family rate
Thanks, Dad
Who needs a busboy
Now that you've got the chef?
[all]
Whoa-oh
Michelin-tasting menu
Free la carte
I'll rig the game for you
Because I am the ref
Champagne fountains, caviar mountains
That's just to start!
[Amir]
Who's been here since day one?
Who's been faithful as a nun?
Who makes you chuckle
With an old-timey pun?
-Your executive producer
-[Erika] That's true!
I'm your guy, your day-to-day
Your chum, your steadfast hotelier
Remember when I fixed that clog today?
[all]
I was stuck, thank you, sir!
I'm truly honored
That we've built such a bond
[voice]
Aw!
You're like the child
That I wish that I had
Uh, what?
I'll care for you
Just like a daughter I spawned
Hold on, now!
It's a little funny
You could almost call me Dad
[music continues]
They say
When you're looking for assistance
It's smart to pick the path
Of least resistance
Others say that in your needy hour
There is no substitute
For pure angelic power!
Who just happens to also be your blood
Ouch!
Sadly, there are times
A birth parent is a dud
They say the family you choose
Is better
[Jeremy]
What a bunch of losers.
Will you butt out of my song?
Your song? I started this.
I'm singing it, I'll finish it!
You tacky piece of...
It's me, yes, it's me!
I know you were all waiting for me
I'm here, what a gas!
Took a while, but I'm present at last
It's me! It's me!
Moxxie!
-[audience cheering]
-Who?
[cheering continues]
[all chanting]
Moxxie! Moxxie! Moxxie!
[cheering]
[Erika]
All right, friends.
Please, give a very warm welcome
to our favorite masochistic housekeeper,
Kimiko Glenn, who plays Niffty.
[audience cheering]
[Erika]
Okay. So, Kimiko,
you have done TV, film, Broadway.
How is animation different?
I mean, it's very different.
But I feel like, based off tonight,
it translates pretty seamlessly.
I don't know. What do you think?
[audience cheering]
So, there'll be more of these.
-Yeah. Well, I mean, hopefully.
-We hope so.
-We do want that.
-We're manifesting it.
-Manifest that, yeah.
-[audience cheering]
Another super exciting thing happened
this week in that we dropped "Gravity."
And we really want to know...
Kimiko and I are dying to know...
I'm your Princess of Hell,
you cannot lie to me.
How many times have you
listened to "Gravity" on repeat?
So many, it's unbelievable.
Give me an estimate. In a row.
Twenty?
Y'all need prayer.
[all laugh and cheer]
We are such a fan of this next song by our
incredible Sam Haft and Andrew Underberg.
Give it up one more time
for Kimiko. Yes!
[audience cheering]
And now, please welcome to the stage,
singing "Gravity,"
[both]
Jessica Vosk!
[cheering]
-[playing "Gravity"]
-Sanctus.
Does no one know
Who you're dealin' with?
Think I'll let it go?
-Forget and forgive?
-Dominus.
-The rage in me
-Yeah?
-Is terminal
-Yeah?
-There's no remedy but to burn 'em all
-Yeah? Burn 'em all.
I still got a job to do
My mission's incomplete
Only a traitor
Could consider making peace
The Princess has to pay
For what she did that day
For what she took away
Storm's comin', I can see the clouds
No runnin's gonna save you now
And hard rain is gonna fall down
Like gravity
Like gravity
Eye for an eye says you owe me a debt
Blood demands blood
Gonna get my hands wet
The flood's comin'
Now you can bet on tragedy
-Like gravity
-Sanctus.
You think you're Hell's great savior
-Will you still when I return the favor?
-Ignis.
Take the one you need
Make you watch 'em bleed
Will you break thinkin'
How you couldn't save her?
Wishin' you were there
When they needed you
The only soul who's ever completed you
Maybe then
You'll get a little heated too
And understand
That this is what I need to do
Storm's comin', I can see the clouds
Sanctus Dominus.
No runnin's gonna save you now
And hard rain is gonna fall down
Like gravity
Like gravity
-Eye for an eye says you owe me a debt
-Yeah!
Blood demands blood
Gonna get my hands wet
The flood's comin'
Now you can bet on tragedy
Like gravity!
[audience cheering]
[cheering increases]
-Uhh...
-Sorry.
-So sorry.
-So sorry about that.
So... sorry about that.
Sorry. Um, everybody, please,
give it up for mi amor, Steph Beatriz.
[cheering]
[laughing]
Sorry. You caught us a little
in the middle of things.
Okay, where were we?
-I have to ask you a question.
-Go ahead.
I stare at you and I forget
everything I'm supposed to say.
I remember.
People are really excited about Chaggie.
Anything that you can tease
for Season Two, my queen?
Mmm...
hm.
[audience laughs]
-I think that was enough for you.
-Oh!
Okay. Steph, I want to know,
besides me,
what are some of your favorite things
about being a part of this cast?
Oh, I love them all so much.
I mean, obviously,
they're incredibly talented,
as you guys have seen tonight.
[audience cheering]
But they're also just the kindest,
funniest, smartest people,
I love hanging out with them.
And I think you're starting to sort of see
our ensemble chemistry on screen.
I mean, it was their Season One,
but you're just gonna see more
and more of it.
Season Two, Season Three, Season Four...
[cheering]
It's very exciting.
We have another sneak peek song
from Season Two
for all of you.
So, please, give it up
for Jeremy Jordan
-and Christian Borle!
-Aah!
[audience cheering]
[playing rock song]
You're acting out like
You want teacher's attention
Well, I'm the principal
Of this eternal detention
I hope you had your fun
But son, it's time to ring the bell
Whoo!
I said, hey, man, you're getting
Way too big for your screen
Now I'm here to drop your punishment
It's gonna be mean
Just in case y'all have forgotten
Who's the motherfuckin' King of Hell
Oh, yeah!
'Cause I'm the serpent
I'm the flame
The mortal world is scared
To say my name
I am so spooky
I'm the shit
I am the living aspect
Of the infernal
So, scream all you want
Mr. TV Head Man
I'm nearly a god!
Who are you?
Just a dead man!
Wow, super scary. I see why
they gave you such a big hat.
Quick thing, though...
It's curious you stopped by
To fight me nail and tooth
All I mean to try
Is to dispense a dose of truth
We sinners do not need a king
We need someone who understands
A different kind of desperate ringing
Respite from Divine demands
New order, like what Lilith had
Envisioned when she threatened them
She knew Hell could be great
And we can make Hell great again
Just imagine if we could
Flip the script
Take the fight back
Way up stairs
And make 'em beg
And say their prayers
And what would happen
If we could run this ship?
Hoist the main sail
Paint the decks
Have a crew mate to protect
'Cause they want us all divided
That is how they keep us down
We got the guts
We got the chutzpah
We got the means
To seize the crowd
If you're not fuckin' stupid
Then you've only got one choice
Me, Vox populi the people's voice
Try to picture if we could
Escape this hole
Never have to live in fear of
Things beneath us may appear 'cause
Here's the kicker
Sinners can save their souls
Not by changing for redemption
But by taking over Heaven
They say Hell's too populated
That's why they exterminate
We've got the numbers
We've got the thunder
Let's annex their real estate
If you want to see a new world
Raise your fist and make some noise
Hail Vox Populi, the people's voice
Manifest destiny, invest in me
The rest will all fit into place
Who's with me?
[singers] Let's unite
And fight for a brand-new realm
Brand-new realm
[singers] We'll direct our destinies as
One nation under Jesus...
I love it!
[singers] Happy days
Are not with Vox at the helm
-That's me
-The future's never tasted sweeter
-Thanks to our charming leader
-Oh, yeah!
Every sinner can be a winner
Let's take our face
To the Pearly Gates
We can have the keys
If we trust the Vees
We give all fellows cause to rejoice!
Hail Vox Populi, the people's voice!
[audience cheering]
So much patter!
[audience cheering]
Oh, my gosh!
How good was that song?
Christian, get over here!
Get over here!
This is unplanned.
Oh, my gosh. Okay.
Yes, we need a towel... good.
Okay, you're sweating, you're schvitzing.
I know, that's what I do.
That was incredible.
-It comes right out.
-[gasps] A BFA!
Christian Borle is no stranger
to the Broadway stage.
This is a two-time Tony winner
over here.
[audience cheering]
Three-time Tony loser,
but we don't mention that.
We don't talk about that.
-That was incredible.
-Thank you.
Everybody's excited about Season Two
because Vox,
the character you play.
Did you know that?
I'm just now figuring that out.
-You booked it. You got Vox.
-Holy fucking shit.
Oh, my God. Cast list went up.
You are Vox.
It's 'cause I wore a TV head
to the audition.
Oh. That's commitment.
People are really excited for you
to step into your big, bad villain era.
How does it feel? Do you like it?
Do you like stepping into that?
It feels really good,
but I wish they'd given me a cape.
-'Cause I can't wait for my cape.
-[gasps]
Viv Medrano, can we get a cape
for this guy?
Here, this can be your tiny cape.
Give me a tiny cape.
[audience laughs, cheers]
Makin' dreams come true.
-It's a little sweaty. [laughs]
-Sorry.
We have one more song
from Season Two for you.
[audience cheering]
And it features
a very special someone singing
with the animated version
of her slippery, slithery,
special little man.
Please give it up for Krystina Alabado.
[audience cheering]
[playing "Piss"]
These Elysian nights
Alone in the golden skies
Lost in a memory
Of how it used to be
When it was only you and me
And our old petty slights
I found home in those
Messy fights
Somehow I couldn't see
Through the cloud of debris
At the scene of the crime
They say time heals all wounds
But the wounds are what I miss
'Cause every brush with death
Meant much more than a kiss
Can you hear me callin'
From way the fuck down here?
Those golden days of brawlin'
Were the best of all my years
I'm bored as fuck without you
Are you bored without me too?
I'm longing for
Just one night more
Of beating the piss out of you
Turf war!
What's the score?
How the hell'd she get on board?!
Egg-boiz, kill that vandal!
Hope you like your minions scrambled
-Oh, shit!
-Get lit
Get your punk ass off my ship
If you say so
Gotta go!
Oh, my God, it's gonna blow!
Another exciting Sin City night
This Sheila's blastin' your ass away
Glorious bloodshed
Under neon lights
I will destroy you at last
They say time heals all wounds
But the wounds are what I miss
And every brush with death
Meant much more than a kiss!
Can ya feel me fallin'?
Though I don't know if it's love
The cuts are healed and scarrin'
-But I still taste the blood
-I still taste your blood
I know I tried to kill you
And you tried to kill me too
You blew a hole
Right through my soul
While I was beating the piss
Out of you
Beating the piss
Out of you.
[audience cheering]
Go off. Go off, Krystina Alabado.
[audience chanting]
Viv! Viv! Viv!
[cheering]
[mouthing]
Fuck.
Fuck.
Please welcome the queen
of the Hellaverse, Vivienne Medrano!
[cheering]
Okay.
[woman]
We love you!
[cheering continues]
Viv, it has been a night.
It's been a day.
And I don't know if I've taken a second.
I'm sure you haven't been able
to take a second
to soak this all in.
So, all together,
we're gonna do it right now.
We're gonna take a deep breath
all together.
[inhales, exhales]
And we're gonna soak this night in.
Viv, when you started creating
these characters and these stories,
did you ever imagine that it would
look something like this one day?
No.
[audience]
Aww.
[cheering]
I just... looking at you guys,
you're all dressed as these characters
that I've been drawing,
you know, for so long.
And, oh, I went the whole day without
anything like this...
[man]
You're the fuckin' queen, Viv!
-[cheering]
-That's fuckin' right!
Thank you!
-Um...
-[woman] We love you!
I never imagined, um,
that it would resonate this much.
I mean, obviously I hoped it would.
Um, I love these characters.
I feel like I've...
my greatest passion is telling stories
and making characters.
And I've been doing it for so long,
and I just...
you know, this was one, I'd had
some of these characters for so long,
and I was just like, I'm gonna do this,
you know,
and you know, I cannot believe
how much it's grown.
And how much love you have for...
And so far, it's only been one season,
but I can't wait for you guys
to see the second.
It's incredible, and I'm very proud of it,
and...
thank you, guys!
[cheering]
We...
[cheering continues]
That's good. You guys nailed that cutoff.
[audience laughs]
These are some fuckin' theater kids,
aren't they?
[audience cheering]
We definitely hope
that you keep telling stories,
keep creating these worlds
because I think I speak for all of us
when I say, the reason
this world is so special to us
is that everybody here
feels like they belong.
And you have seen people,
and you have let them feel like they can
wave their freak flag
high up in the sky.
[cheering]
And you have given us
a whole heck of a lot of hope.
So, on that note of hope,
please, give it up one more time
for Viv Medrano.
[cheering]
And welcome back to the stage
the cast of Hazbin Hotel,
Live on Broadway.
[cheering]
[piano music playing]
[playing "Hear My Hope"]
[cast]
Hear my hope
Letting it go
In every soul that needs
Something to believe
Take my hand
Never let go
Even one soft sound
Can shake the hardest ground
-Hear my hope
-Hey!
Let it thunder
Across this rivalry
'Til every last soul sings
Take my hand
Feel the wonder
In perfect harmony
We'll change our destiny
And many years from now
If any live to hear this song
The story about how we learned together
We are strong
It began with just one note
A crescendo 'til the end
No matter what it takes
Hear my hope!
[cheering]
That is our show!
Thank you so much for coming
to Hazbin Hotel Live on Broadway!
Thank you to the fans, our crew,
RadicalMedia.
Thank you to Amazon, MGM Studios,
and Prime Video!
We'll catch ya next time!
[music continues playing]
[Viv]
Oh, oh...
[Richard]
This is my Broadway debut.
And I kind of manifested this
'cause I knew when I got involved
with the Hellaverse,
I knew that this would make it
to Broadway in some form one day.
And I was right.
The show would not be what it is
without our fandom.
So, to be able to meet them
in the last couple years
and have them here, in cosplay,
watching us sing these songs live
for the first time
is truly mind-blowing to me.
[Stephanie] Hazbin Hotel fans
are so passionate about the show,
they're passionate
about the storylines and the characters.
I'm a huge fan.
I absolutely adore the show.
My favorite song is "Loser Baby."
I just want everyone to sing it.
Hey, guys! Holy shit!
You're a screw's-loose-boozer
An only one-star reviews-er
But you got company
Is that supposed to make me
feel better?
I genuinely want to thank Viv
for making this show.
She has created such a beautiful community
that I've got
to make lifelong friends here.
[man]
All the actors, they really care about us
just as much as we care about them.
We're all livin' in the same...
Get outta here, man.
We're both losers, baby
We're losers, it's okay to be a
I never thought I would see this,
but I'm here and
I'm absolutely hyped for this.
But at least I know I'm not alone
You're a loser
Just like me
You're a loser, baby
A loser, but just maybe if we
Eat shit together
Things will end up differently
Me.
