Rachel Chavkin and Anaïs Mitchell on "Why We Build the Wall"
"The first time I heard this song, I couldn't get over how simple it was. It's call-and response, which for any good protest song, is key. I couldn't believe the density of meaning, the number of layers in this song, while the structure was as simple as a nursery rhyme." Director Rachel Chavkin and Writer Anaïs Mitchell breakdown "Why We Build the Wall" and Hades' purpose in singing it.
