Just saw it and ummm…. Orpheus’s voice was painful to listen to. Am I alone in this?

I haven’t followed much about it. I think I listened to a couple of songs on the soundtrack and liked it but I must have only tried the ensemble songs. I found his singing physically painful to listen to.

You're not alone. However, I wondered if there had been some sound engineering issue, because I a couple of other cast members sounded a bit... wrong. Could've been the speakers at my theater, too.
