On the musicals front

[winter]

The guy in my icon is the newest - first cast - Abronsius in Berlin. At age 21, without being a German or Austrian, and that's for a role that demands tongue-twisters at breakneck speed O.o

Also, I've spent quite a bit of time happily staring at photos from the new Budapest production of Elisabeth. I am quite frightened by the lengths some people are willing to go to to make this guy look like this guy.

Combined, I would say it means I can look forward to repeat trips to both Berlin and Budapest. Curses :P

Thanks, I'll definitely take a look :) Or set my mother on it, she's a Steve fanatic too and her Russian's much better than mine.

Oh, she'll enjoy it :)
Hehe, my mom loves him too, as von Krolock. Looks like we are lucky, at least among my frineds it is very rare that parents share the passion for musicals.

The only thing I have yet to convince Mother to is Takarazuka ;) Or at least watching anything more than Snow Troupe's Elisabeth. Just got Datenshi no Namida, so am hoping to feed her that, because oh, Komu+Rira+Mizu = perfection.

My Mom hasn't seen any Takarazuka shows, but I'm planning to send her Phantom. It is so sweet and kawaii :)
But I have already taught Mom to like fanfiction, including slash. She is soooo advanced *swelling with pride*

*snickers* Mine still only beta-reads my stories if I promise there's no slash in them. But she calls UST in movies like a slash pro.
