Vampires everywhere

[winter]

This picture just made me fall over.

(For the record, the Graf von Krolock next to Christopher Lee, looking like he's about to perform a tackle-glomp worthy of the bounciest fangirl, is Thomas Borchert. AKA the guy I'll be seeing live in Vienna in less than three weeks.)

Dude. Borchert + Christopher Lee! How awesome is that? And I love that giant face-consuming grin he has on, too!

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

Its proof that even the biggest musicals stars get insane squee too ;)

[winter]

And it shows that Lee saw the show and presumably liked it ;)

(Though really, he's probably the one guy the cast would tackle in order to have photos with him.)

That is incredibly adorable. Mwah! Those two together in the same picture! And I do adore Borchert's giant grin of squee.

[winter]

It's kind of intimidating that he's only an inch shorter than Lee, at most. Was just saying to fyrie that when she meets him, she'll need a telescope ;)

[valancystar.livejournal.com]

As will I. Hee. (Wasn't planning on going stagedooring, because he reportedly doesn't like that, but I and my friends have just spent a couple of days making gifts for him and Gernot Kranner, so I guess we'll have to give them somehow.)

[winter]

You might have luck at the mid-week show :) Or just pass it via the theatre staff.

I'm hesitating re: stagedooring, but I guess it'll depend on whether I can get lost in the crowd there ;) And how much squee I have on the show. I won't collect autographs, but getting to tell one or two of the people involved that they did a great job may be appreciated. (Plus, wouldn't mind another vampire photo ;))

One of my friends was making some research and apparently giving them via the theatre staff isn't done much there. But well, we're six very determined Scandinavian ladies. One German man doesn't stand much of a chance against us. :D (Gernot Kranner is reportedly friendly at the stage door, so now all we need to do is to recognize him.)

I don't want to collect autographs, either - don't really know what I'd do with one. But telling the people I liked how much I liked them would rock. I always want to do that, which is why it's a shame there's no stagedooring culture existing in Finland. (That's why we made teddy bears dressed like the characters for our favourite actors in Elisabeth in Finland. Now they know they've got fans. *evil chuckle*)

[winter]

*eyedart* Technically there's no stagedooring culture here. Which would be why we ended up pulled backstage instead ;)

Dude, if Christopher Lee was ever in a movie where he and another vampire made out, I'd go bonkers. Pleasantly bonkers, that is. He was a hot little sucker in the day. ;)

[winter]

The thing is, I could see him going along with it in an "Ah-hah! That will make the little darlings' minds break even more!" kind of way ;)

[alice_montrose]

Whoo-hoo! Looks like someone liked the show! And honestly, given that Christopher Lee plays some of the best villains ever... yay! YAAAAAAAY!

(He was even this undead sorcerer in a Mediaset coproduction thing... Alizeea-something-or-the-other.)

[winter]

And above that, he's a half-Italian-aristocrat six-foot-lots ex-spy who sings opera with a punk band for backup. I mean, you don't get cooler than him :)

[alice_montrose]

Mmmm, yes. Which reminds me I have to look for his album at some point. ^^;;;

(LJ ate my comment, so now I need to post it again)
...that wasn´t a fair thing to post, you know. Now I want to go to the travel advisor for my Spanish university and find out how much a student ticket to Vienna would cost. (Him: Singing vampires? What the hell are you fucking talking about?) But the tickets to the show are probably sold out, so I should be able to resist temptation. Still, now I´ll be thinking about Tanz instead of Spanish verbs during class. Bad Beth, no blood cookies for you.

[winter]

The anniversary concert, alas, is sold out. But they're still running in Berlin, with Thomas and, if you're in luck, the boy in my icon as Herbert :> And low-cost airlines mean that 50 euro could get you a return ticket.

[amelia-petkova.livejournal.com]

(I´m going to be agonizing over this all day. With my luck, my señora will notice and I´ll have to try and figure out how to translate this into Spanish. Ha.)

Do you know where I would go on the Net to find out ticket information for the Berlin show?

[winter]

That would be http://www.stage-entertainment.de :)

[amelia-petkova.livejournal.com]

Looks like the prices and/or times might not work out. (Also, there´s the whole "I don´t speak German for when I get there" issue.) Damn. But thanks for the help!

[winter]

Pity, that. Either way, I'm planning on obtaining a full audio of the Berlin version soon via fyrie or on my own - for the time being I've only heard one song by the second Herbert ;)
