Andre just kind of wanders out the exit and through a side door at one point, but during the ending scenes, Wendell literally comes through screaming, spit flying, as he chases after Andre. If you get Row M, or have the chance to purchase it, both Andre De Shields and Wendell Pierce come out into the audience on that side.

I had never heard of them or had an interest in seeing a Miller show any time soon, but when I caught wind that Andre De Shields was leaving Hadestown for this production, I knew that I was going to drag myself all the way up to New York in order to get my butt into a seat. This was one of the big shows I wanted to see in Fall 2022, and not because of the two leads.
