Plans of the musical variety

[winter]

Ohdear. They'll be playing Elisabeth in Berlin from April onwards, so I kind of think I'll be there with bells on sometime in May :> Depending on the cast, I guess - my favourite would be Jan Ammann for Death and Jakub Wocial for Rudolf and second Death, but generally, I like most of the possibles. Except Haldor Laegreid.

So that'll be thrice I'll be seeing Elisabeth next year - got two sets of tickets for Budapest already. (And possible plans for... more far-off regions in the autumn, but those are nowhere near being finalised.) And Tanz der Vampire at least once, Budapest again.

Phantom of the Opera in Warsaw, I'm sorry to say, fizzled out completely. My firm favourites were cut down - one for being unable to attend an audition, fair enough, but the other for "lack of acting ability". Which he does have, on top of an operatic baritone that leaves everyone in the dust.

On the other hand, that does leave him free for Beauty and the Beast in Gdynia (also in the spring), which has the potential for being gorgeous if they finally get their act together - they're a decent theatre, but no magic to it so far. I hope it'll end up being something interesting.

And on top of it all I should probably finally drag my carcass to London for Phantom, Les Mis and anything else that happens to be on. And I still haven't seen some of my must-see people live - currently Stanley Burleson tops that list, followed closely by Pia Douwes and Ethan Freeman.

Say what you want about this hobby, you're never out of places to travel to.

I waant to. But I am poor. :( And stuck possibly working without vacation depending on my future advisor's whims.

Oh, that is a load of poo :( And you know, the only reason I actually got a grown up job (aside from living away from home) was so I could get money for my musicals addiction. Sad but true.

As I am drowning in midterms and dreading my finals, I'm beginning to wish I'd gone for a grown-up job instead too. I'd at least be making twice what I'm making now & possibly have time to go to Europe. *pouts*

[winter]

You'll get there yet :) And you'll be making even more money. Maybe we can drag you to Japan with us

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

Definitely! And then there will be three of us to steal Yamaguchi! I'll tke his legs, you two get the arms and torso. He won't be able to escape!

[winter]

I should have the legs, I'm the tallest and strongest!

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

Leaving me to grin manically at him and cling on his arm? While Lamath takes the other arm?

[lamath.livejournal.com]

You two are such evil temptresses. :P

[winter]

We're also good at getting those things done ;) At least she is, as evidenced by trophy gallery of glomped actors.

[lamath.livejournal.com]

*ENVY* I want trophy gallery of glomped actors! I am so horrifyingly shy. The only actors I've met are the Phantom actors, and that's only because sparklybee physically dragged me to the stagedoor and refused to let me escape before meeting them. *is pathetic*

[winter]

I'm shy too. SHE is not. This is good :D

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

I'm not not shy! I'm very, very shy! You just don't see it ;)

[winter]

I'll pack a magnifying glass :P

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

Oh, shush. Don't you remember the whole "omg, they must haaaaaaaaate me" thing? That is part of the shy that I strive to hide :P

[winter]

Yes, but that's a veeeery delayed reaction ;)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

Yes. As soon as they're out of hearing range :P Although I am getting better, I think. Less self-conscious angst.

Though I know it was my age that terrified the boy :P

[winter]

Or your cradle-snatching tendencies ;)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

There was no cradle to be snatched from :P He was quite legal. And had a nice four poster bed. Definitely no cradle :P

[winter]

Oh yes, THAT bed ;) Give him a few years...

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

By which point, I will happily have moved on :P

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

*g* If it helps, I have absolutely no shame :D

[lamath.livejournal.com]

Someday, somehow, I will make it to Europe, and you shall help me find actors to glomp. *nodnod*

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

I often find that asking politely shocks them :) A lot. And a please and thank you seems to get you funny looks. I do recall one particular encounter, wherein photos were being taken of various fangirls with an actor, and not one of them thanked him.

[winter]

And then you concussed him with a drawing. Metaphorically ;)

[fyrie.livejournal.com]

I still can't believe he came back to find me :D I still remember him rising above the crowd and waving, then meandering back towards me and ignoring the crowds :D
