New Tsukigumi Elisabeth pictures

[winter]

So, they finally revealed the costumes and some more of the casting. And dear me.

Sena looks like a gorgeous Death.

And a scary one too.

Kacha looks cute - she suits otokoyaku makeup better, but I love what they did with the eyes, and she looks like she's got a boatload of attitude.

Their attitudes in Wenn Ich Tanzen Will seem to be the correct ones.

I even like the idea of Kiriyan as Franz-Joseph. It's shaping up to be an interesting show.

Oho! That makes so much sense! I'll have to check through foreignmusicals to see if I can find the soundtrack.

As you can tell from the amount of icons I have, it's a good musical ;)

And as for soundtracks, highlight below....

Off the top of my head, there are some tracks in (mediocre) English here: hxxp://community.livejournal.com/foreignmusicals/146491.html

Flower Troupe Takarazuka soundtrack (featuring the Death from my post as the narrator, Lucheni): hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=6MSE3OC9

Dirty, filthy enabler! Thank you!

I could probably point you to a bunch of videoclips from different productions, if I can remember where I've put the links...

I'd be most appreciative.

:> These are in order of appearance in the musical.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D4OodCRHlk&feature=related <- Elisabeth and Death's first meeting (first Japanese version)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjralHFLKss&feature=related <- Elisabeth's defining song, in which she decides not to conform to the rules of the Viennese court (latest Japanese version)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LG46DjE4Mo <- Which doesn't make Death leave her alone. This song's after her baby daughter dies

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cNQlUYBOo8 <- one of the wonderful ensemble scenes, in this case the narrator inciting the poor of Vienna to riot over a milk shortage (Hungarian production)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As7yfhR1pGM <- Elisabeth and Death's defining duet, both of them proclaiming their independence (second mixed-gender Japanese production - the Elisabeth here was the Death from the first clip!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfQ8-E5Jf14 <- Death promising his help to the Crown Prince Rudolf, in rather slashy ways (Vienna revival)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD-mSfJhjQw <- Rudolf scheming with Hungarian revolutionaries (Hungarian production)
