I'm still in studying hell (fingers crossed on Saturday, please!) but concert schedules have their own rhythm. I don't remember that much from the one on Monday, but that is mostly because I was fading with blood pressure swings. I hope they didn't think I was asleep ~.~ I did notice that Jakub had new photos in the background slideshow - including ones from the Oberhausen concert where they let him open the second act as Phantom. I just about fell over when I saw that part!

(It did feature the one and only Wenn Liebe in Dir Ist as a Sarah-Herbert duet, because our second Alfred skipped out at the last moment and Sarah was in the audience anyway.)

Other people's clips:

One Song Glory - I do like the take on the song.

Till I Hear You Sing Once More - ...yes, you're one of my favourite Phantoms, stop making me interested in Paint Never Dries!

And that goes double for you, dear girl.

I Dreamed a Dream - EDYTA ♥

A Heart Full of Love - driving home the point that he should have been in Les Mis.

And the greatest surprise: the ushers/stagehands, a pair of complete newcomers, looking both all of 16, and bringing the house down with Boote in der Nacht. Go kids!

So. Let's say, hypothetically, that your absolute favourite got a first major role in a theatre in this city in four years. And let's say that this role is Javert in Les Miserables.

I am convinced that they added a dishevelled, grey-haired, Krolock-like Javert prowling the barricade and checking the faces of the corpses just for me.

(Good show. Fantastic show. Or the bits I can remember, because I kind of died after Stars and then again after the suicide. That, or I fainted from hyperventilating so much.)

As promised, my remarks on Tanz der Vampire, Budapest edition. The short version: highly recommended.
