My Take
Anaïs Mitchell sits in a category almost entirely her own: a folk singer-songwriter who also conquered Broadway. Winning the 2019 Tony for Best Original Score for Hadestown, a show she nurtured for years, is a feat I find genuinely staggering. What I love is how her Middlebury-trained literacy meets the rough, earthy texture of folk, especially on a project like Child Ballads where she digs into old traditional songs. Across eight albums she has stayed restless and curious rather than coasting. To build something real in both the theater and the intimate world of acoustic songwriting is rare, and I admire her enormously.
