Youtube just shorted out my brain

[winter]

I booked my Vienna trip this February (to the 10th anniversary concert of a Certain Musical) early, before the cast was announced. In the interval before we got the cast, I often joked with Mother that with my luck, Von Krolock would end up being Uwe Kröger (something of my personal German musical nemesis, aka the guy I love to hate).

The VK at the concert will fortunately be Thomas Borchert, whom I adore for his voice, presence and mesmerising eyes, but um. I think I jinxed it.

Uwe Kröger and Maya Hakvoort doing Totale Finsternis. Which would work better if she wasn't half a head taller than him.

As an antidote (though remaining with German musicals), have some Borchert singing a song from Mozart!. My perennial favourite Máté Kamarás does a wonderful job with another one.

(And in other musical news, my OTHER favourite, Maki Ichiro - see icon - gave birth in October to a baby girl. Mother: played Death and Elisabeth. Father: played Death. I think this is one kid who's going to be raised on Kunze/Levay lullabies :>)

Sure, but how'll you know he's going to be there to throw tomatoes at?

Um, not there at the concert.

Kind of three days later at the Rebecca performance I have El Cheapo tickets for.

Right. Um. You see, I'm not getting to see Rebecca because they're not performing it the week we're there, even though the theatre will be available for some nights when there's no concert. So I think my brain's blocked out the fact that normally, that musical would be there to see, so that I won't be so disappointed. ;-) But yay for you getting to see it, at least. :D

See, you should have timed your journey later :P I must say it was one of the factors that made me chose this time (the other deciding one was the availability of leave for myself and Mother). Not a fan of Uwe or Rebecca, but I need to see at least one normal German musical live.

Oi. Not my fault you didn't check college dates.

Also, you're getting your boy. Which you wouldn't if we were going together. So there.

I did check college dates! Not my fault they messed them up on the website and only corrected them lately :S

[winter]

Ah, didn't catch that :S Anyway, I think you're better off. You might even get to talk to Thomas & all :P While I'll be chasing Uwe down. Joy.
