Toho Elisabeth: Omigod you guys!

winterToho Elisabeth cast is up for the August-October 2010 run.
I saw it and kind of fell over.
First of all, I hereby crow about the Asako!Elisabeth rumour being confirmed. She must be working hard on recovering her soprano, but this is a glorious normal-theatre debut, a great role to start with, and she's going to own the stage.
Komu got Elisabeth again ♥ I just hope that this time, enterprising fans with cameras will do better ;)
Yuichiro Yamaguchi is Death again, because you'll have to hit him over the head with a shovel to get him off the stage. Since his voice is pure honeyed velvet, that is a YAY in my book.
We get two new Deaths, too. Shirota Yuu (since he has TeniMyu and SeraMyu history... *eyes TeniMyu and SeraMyu fans* any comments on how he'll handle a forceful rockstar demon?) and Ishimaru Kanji, an ex-Raoul I haven't seen.
And the real Omigod-You-Guys is for Sophie. Mori Keaki. Who's had like one role since her retirement as Yukigumi topstar (and Andre to Maki's Oscar) in 1993. Kotobuki Hizuru's the other Sophie, as usual, but Mori!
FYI, the Rudolf-of-the-month for October is Urai Kenji, Lucheni is Takashima Masahiro (aka Mr Sylvia Grab), and Franz Joseph is... Ishikawa Zen. Dear heavens, this is going to be good.
Now, where was my airplane ticket search engine?

Tod: Shirota Yuu
Rudolph: Urai Kenji
Though I actually think Kenji has a much better voice than Yuu and should have gotten Tod instead... T___T (But I guess he's just not attractive/manly enough for it... :/ )
I think Yuu has a nice voice, but I am not sure if he can handle Asako... ^^;;;;; But I just know him as "Mamoru, the nice boyfriend and hero", so maybe he does have a much stronger, more forceful side I just haven't seen yet.... ^^

Date: 2010-03-05 01:42 pm (UTC)It's one of the things I love about Elisabeth, the way it can give to so many equally valid interpretations. I've got audios of the Komu/Yamaguchi combo, and I also think Asako/Yamaguchi will be brilliant because he's definitely man and gentleman enough to handle her. Dammit, I'd like to catch them all...
