Did you watched any Toho shows that got DVD/Livestreams recently? I miss seeing your opinions about them *heart eyes*

I've missed talking about them! Unfortunately my current program is...well, two things went very quickly when I went from being a starving MA student to a starving PhD student: my musicals and my video games. I've barely been able to really do anything, which is a shame because musicals really....ARE a part of me, they're kind of a way of keeping myself sane.

I've been able to secure some rare 1789 DVDs (neither Toho, Zuka, or French), which fulfilled a long-standing want for me, but now I'm being very careful with my money because I had to make several high budget purchases in short succession and that always makes me nervous, and I've been told that in a couple of years, my department's going to. Cut my funding significantly. Also, unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, I've also not been as actively involved with other Toho fans, which means that I'm not hearing as much as I used to. And then there was the dreadful news about Sayaka in December which...it wasn't the only factor, obviously, and I refuse to blame her any more than she's already been blamed, but it did kind of make a few of my favorites difficult to watch for a while, and to some extent I still feel like there's a certain level of mourning going on. We lost one of the best performers of this generation of Toho stars -- we'll move on, because we have to, because that's the way theatre is, but....we have to figure out how. *I* have to figure out how. In over twelve years as a fan of musicals, I don't think I've really....seen anyone who I was a fan of die -- Some of my faves have retired over the years, some of them are less active, but I've never had anyone die on me, especially so young and so suddenly.

Still! It's not all doom and gloom, and I've kind of.....established a sort of mental list of the musicals that are highest on my list of things to buy.

Frankenstein - I never thought I'd see the day when this musical would make it to the top of my personal list, but here we are. I was just really, really impressed with what I've seen, my critiques aside, and I'd really, really like to have it as part of my collection

2. Mata Hari - I'm...too much of a Wildhorn stan to NOT want it, and....tbh......the price is REALLY good, with two DVDs for the cost of one. You COULD say that that's a sign that they had no faith in it, but also.......consider.........*Even and especially if it's trash, I would love it. I do not go to Wildhorn shows for their nuanced characterization and deep exploration of social issues.* And I would mainly be getting it for the Chapi/Mario Tashiro cast, since it's two of my favorite performers together.

3. Mozart (2021) BluRay - Mozart is probably the one Kunze and Levay musical that I have the most mixed relationship with, especially since MA's redemption. It has some wonderful numbers that really stand out, some of the best those two have ever penned together, but it also has a lot of numbers that are just....there. Still! Furukawa Yuta's star power is enough to make me want to get this musical, as well as the promise of my favorite number from the German production, "Der Einfache Weg."

4. (Honorary) The Man Who Laughs. Because I STILL can't believe they didn't release it. Like. I was CERTAIN... (I'm STILL thinking of ways that it could still win.)

5. Romeo and Juliet. On one hand: I am not particularly impressed with the singing I've heard, but also....I do love this musical, even if I've not been able to do much with it recently, and I would like to see Oka Kojiro's Escalus. Maybe I'm a massive Oka Kojiro fan, maybe I just really, really need musicals again and I'm increasingly desperate, but like. I'd be willing to give it a go. But there's a reason it's lower than the musical that literally hasn't been released on DVD yet.

And I also do want to round out my Zuka collection. Being left to my own devices means that I can explore a little more of what *I* want, without bending to pressure, and even though I stand by some of the criticisms of Zuka I've made in the past...I do also miss it. There's a lot of things that I've wanted to get ahold of over the years that I want to get my hands on.

Also not Toho but I literally just discovered that Shiki released a Robot in the Garden CD? And it's available on Spotify? Robot in the Garden, the Also not Toho but I literally just discovered that Shiki released a Robot in the Garden CD? And it's available on Spotify? Robot in the Garden, the musical that I've been wanting to get ahold of for ages and that looks super adorable? So I will definitely be making time for that.

A couple of releases I'm really pumped for:

(1) Jane Eyre (PLEASE FUCKING RELASE A PROSHOT, TOHO, PLEASE. Anything that isn't B*rbour's voice singing Rochester.) The cast looks SO GOOD.

(2) Moulin Rouge - Apparently I was in the first 1% of listeners of the OBC cast album a couple years ago, which...I did NOT see coming because I'll loudly complain about my issues with this musical, but like....at the same time....I DO love the music and the arrangements, I love the sparkle, I love the spectacle of it. (Honestly I think it and Great Comet might be the closest American theatre's ever come to making a French musical.) REALLY want to see what Toho does with it.

(3) LRA. PLEASE. I love this musical so much and I'm really curious to see what it's going to look like on the Toho stage. Are they going to take anything from Zuka, or is it going to closer resemble the Korean? Or is it going to be like 1789 where they welded together the other productions? I don't know, but I can't wait to see the result!

(4) ELISABETH. PLEASE.

Bibliography for my term paper on evolutionary studies of homosexuality

A large part of this paper was critiquing how these studies were being done, and that included citing some pretty egregious examples of using out of date and discriminatory language. Some of those words are included in the titles. Please take care of yourself when reading these. A lot of it is interesting, and there are a lot of resources here for producing better, community oriented, respectful research that's applicable across the humanities. But it can get overwhelming.

Comment je suis enfin devenue une personne du matin (et productive).

Il y a de cela encore un an, je n’étais pas une personne du matin. Mais en remarquant par habitude être plus productif le matin que l’après-midi au bureau, je me suis dit que me lever plus tôt le matin et travailler davantage entre en matinée serait peut-être la clé pour une journée productive.

Aussi, un point important à ajouter ici : j’ai créé ma micro-entreprise en parallèle de mon travail actuel d’International E-commerce Manager, comme freelance où j’accompagne dans le développement de stratégies marketing : gestion de facebook ads, stratégies d’influenceurs, SEO etc…. J’ai tenté longtemps de travailler le soir après mes heures de travail, mais cela était vraiment difficile, étant fatigué et n’ayant pas de motivation après une journée intense de travail au bureau.

Je me suis ainsi rendu à l’évidence qu’en gardant cette routine de me lever à 7h45, aller au travail puis essayer de travailler sur ma micro-entreprise le soir, je ne réussirais pas.

Mais comment font tous ces grands entrepreneurs et businessmen, qui se lèvent à 4h ou 5h du matin et ont littéralement deux journées en une?

Puis-je aussi le faire? OUI! Je peux le faire!

Puis un jour, motivé je me suis lancé ce challenge qui pourrait peut-être vraiment m’aider au quotidien.

Le sommeil, mon premier allié.

Pour être une personne du matin il faut avant tout passer une bonne nuit réparatrice. Se réveiller fatigué(e) n’est vraiment pas top pour commencer une journée, car la seule volonté est d’appuyer sur ce petit bouton SNOOZE et repousser son réveil de 10mn, 4 fois de suite.

Conseil #1 : ne dors pas dans une chambre trop chaude.

Le froid a un effet vasoconstricteur, c’est-à-dire qu’il permet un ralentissement de la circulation sanguine, qui aide à l’endormissement et à une meilleure récupération. Trop chauffer pendant la nuit empêche alors ce phénomène et perturbe notre sommeil. Dormir dans une chambre à 18°c est recommandé.

Conseil #2 : évite toute lumière bleue jusqu’à 1h avant de dormir.

Avant cette nouvelle routine, il m’arrivait de rester sur mon téléphone à regarder des vidéos youtube ou glander sur 9gag. Ou même jouer à fifa avant d’aller me coucher. C’est la pire des choses que je faisais là.

En effet, la fameuse lumière bleue de nos écrans est très mauvaise pour notre sommeil. Ainsi écarte-en toi au moins 1 à 2h avant d’aller te coucher, et privilégie un bon bouquin. Je lis désormais tous les soirs, et sens un véritable changement dans mon sommeil : je me sens bien moins fatigué au réveil et avec plus d’énergie.

Conseil #3 : utilise ta chambre pour dormir, pas pour regarder la tv, ni jouer aux jeux vidéo.

En entrant dans ta chambre le soir pour te coucher, ton cerveau saura que cett pièce est ainsi faite seulement pour le repos, et se mettra de manière automatique en mode relaxation.

Conseil #4 : vas doucement sur le sucre et la caféine l’après midi.

J’aime le café. J’aime son odeur, son goût et j’aime l’énergie qu’il m’apporte durant la journée. Je pouvais boire parfois trop de café la journée, et le ressentais tout de suite le soir, ayant des moments où je me sens fatigué, énervé et avec du mal à dormir. Depuis que j’ai décidé de réduire celui-ci en buvant mon dernier café à 13h, je me sens mieux le soir. Et surtout : j’ai complètement arrêté le sucre dans le café. Mon corps m’en remercie.

Conseil #5 : dors au moins 7h.

Chaque personne est différente et a donc des besoins différents. Toutefois il est en général recommandé pour un adulte de dormir au moins 7h par nuit. Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais lorsque je dors moins de 7h, je me sens fatigué le matin et n’ai vraiment aucune envie de bouger ma couette et ouvrir les yeux. Dors 7h par nuit minimum, en te couchant à horaire régulier, et en te levant toujours à la même heure pour réguler ton horloge interne. Depuis que je me lève à 6h20, mon horloge interne s’est pas mal régulée natuellement et je me réveille seul en général entre 5 et 2 minutes avant le réveil. Pourquoi me direz-vous? Et bien, je ne sais pas. Mais tous les jours je me réveille avant mon réveil sans facteur externe.

L’importance d’une routine matinale positive

Je ne me lève pas à 4h, mais une heure plus tôt de mon heure à laquelle je me levais avant c’est-à-dire 6h20. Je gagne ainsi 1h par jour pour pouvoir réaliser des actions pour ma micro-entreprise au petit matin tout en sirotant mon café noir sans sucre. Voici ma routine avant de partir au bureau:

1. Réveil, étirements, et 2 grands verres d’eau

Avant tout, il est primordial de se lever dès la première sonneerie de réveil. Te rendormir “juste 2mn” est vraiment mauvais, et cela te rendra plus fatigué que si tu te levais au premier coup. Sois fort, c’est que du mental ! Etire-toi bien, et te saute pas sur ton téléphone portable dès le réveil. Laisse-le 15mn de côté. Et laisse ton cerveau se réveiller tranquillement, ne l’agresse pas.

Maintenant lève-toi, et bois 2 grands verres d’eau. Cela permet à ton corps et tes organes de se réveiller à leur tour et ainsi vraiment te mettre en marche.

2. Passage à la douche

Je passe ensuite directement par la case douche, me permettant de me réveiller avec une douche chaude (parfois accompagnée de douche froide lorsque je me sens motivé, pour apporter une grosse dose d’énergie). Puis, je finis de me préparer.

3. Petit déjeuner et café obligatoire

Je regarde les chiffres de mes boutiques en ligne et de mon blog ou lis quelques pages de mon livre actuel (en ce moment : La Bible du SEO de l’excellentissime Olivier Andrieu) tout en sirotant mon café noir. J’aime aussi lire les e-mails que je reçois.

4. Départ pour le bureau

Vivant en plein centre-ville de Barcelone, l’avantage de se lever tôt est de ne pas tomber dans la foule de gens allant au bureau ou à l’école, car à 7h15 du matin, les rues et le métro sont presque vides. Je pars au petit jour et n’entends aucun klaxon bruyant. Le Soleil ne s’est toujours pas levé.

J’aime écouter des podcasts ou vidéos de chaines youtube dans le métro. J’écoute en général différents podcats, suivant ma motivation du jour. Voici ma sélection personnelle : – Tech&CO de BFM Business (podcast) au quotidien : – Sonny Court (chaine Youtube de motivation) :

– Marketing Mania de Stan Le loup (podcast) :

– Bannouze (podcast) :

– Le Panier par Laurent Kretz :

– Mybloggers (podcast d’interviews de blogueurs pros) : Celui-ci a seulement 4 épisodes et semble avoir malheureusement arrêté depuis. Quel dommage! Ces épisodes étaient vraiment intéressants et peins de valeurs. – Instapodcast (nouveauté du jour!): Ce podcast vient de sortir hier 09/02/2020, par Instagram France qui part à la rencontre des entrepreneurs qui réussissent sur Instagram, qui racontent leur succes-story. Dans ce premier épisode est invitée Lisa Gachet de MakeMyLemonade. Prometteur!

et d’autres podcasts…

5. Arrivée au bureau

Ayant les bureaux proches de la mer, je peux voir le soleil se lever à l’horizon de la mer Méditerranée, depuis mon bureau. Un moment magique, seulement offert aux chanceux se levant tôt. Et être quasiment seul au bureau durant une petite heure est une véritable aubaine : je peux lire mes emails pros dans la tranquilité, et commencer à préparer mes actions de la journée.

J’adore cette nouvelle routine mais cela n’a pas été simple à suivre. il faut avant tout de la motivation.

En suivant ces règles quotidiennement, je me sens désormais plus productif, plus heureux, moins fatigué en journée. Tu as toutes les clés pour te challenger et devenir enfin la personne matinale et productive que tu as toujours voulu être.

Tu as des conseils que tu aimerais partager en commentaire qui pourraient être utiles à tous? Ecris-les ci-dessous!

A très vite! Aurélien

Frenchbavril: Jour 24 - Crossover

A la base j’aime pas les crossovers mais j’ai trouvé une putain d’idée Hero Corps/ Flanders Company (je sais c’est pas French Nerd, nique du gazon) et en plus je peux parler de mes supers OC qui sont plus belles que toi et de Burt/Stan qui est l’un des ship les plus doux. Appréciez mon love la putain de sa race! cœur.

“Bienvenue à la réunion annuelle des super LGBTQ. Je suis Mystique et je serais en charge de cette soirée avec bien sûr notre chère présidente Batwoman. Mais je ne vais pas m’étendre, nous aurons toute la soirée pour les discours donc je vais juste vous laisser prendre place. Comme toujours les places ont été réparties au hasard pour que héros et vilains se mélangent.”

Je levais les yeux au ciel et me tournais vers Hasna. En la voyant, mon exaspération se radoucit un peu. Il faut dire qu’elle était magnifique dans son hijab rose et sa robe même coloris brodée d’or. Elle me souris et attrapa ma main, venant se blottir contre moi.

“Tu m’avais promis de pas faire la gueule, me reprocha-t-elle.

-Bah excuse si ça me fait chier que... tentais-je de me défendre.

-Céline! Tu m’avais promis. Tu te souviens?

-Oui, oui. Excuses moi.”

Je serrais sa main dans la mienne et souris. Elle avait raison. Je lui avais promis de ne pas me montrer avec les super-héros présents ce soir, même si ça me faisait chier. Après tout, malgré nos différents, nous étions tous réunis ce soir pour célébrer la même chose. Ce serait juste con de croiser des gens que je tabasse au boulot. Hasna me tira enthousiaste jusqu’au grand plan de table, trouva notre place et me tira à nouveau au milieux des tables. Tiens, nos partenaires héros pour la soirée étaient déjà arrivés. L’un deux se leva et nous souris.

“Bonsoir, je suis Acid Man mais vous pouvez appeler Burt et voici mon époux Stan ou Mental.”

Je lui serrais la main en tentant de maintenir un sourire poli puis fis de même avec son époux. Puis ils se tournèrent vers mon épouse, ne sachant pas trop comment la saluer, et répétèrent son geste lorsqu’elle posa une main sur son torse.

“Je suis Hasna, nom de vilaine Steelcrush et voici ma femme ex-Teknicia mais vous pouvez l’appeler Céline. Ne faite pas attention à son aire crispé elle a du mal avec les héros.”

Je fronçais un sourcil et levais l’autre, pas sûr d’avoir bien entendu ce que je pensais avoir entendu. Nous primes place autour de la table, un peu mal à l’aise. Même avec tous les efforts du monde, j’avais du mal à me faire à cette idée. Depuis une dizaine années, l’association des supers LGBTQ luttait pour rassembler vilains et héros dans le but de lutter pour leurs droits. Alors oui, on avait lutté plus durement pour obtenir le droit de se marier mais, maintenant cette idée leur montait à la tête et voilà que pour la réunion annuelle, ils nous obligeaient à présent à manger avec des super.

“Et donc, vous bossez en tant que vilaines? entama timidement celui nommé Burt.

-Oui, je suis en indé et Céline est à la Flanders, avant elle était sur le terrain mais elle a du se retirer et maintenant elle est dans le secteur informatique, répondit ma femme. Et vous?

-Nous on est à la retraire, ex-Hero Corps.”

Ne souhaitant pas m’engager dans une discussion, je me tournais vers celui nommé Stan et vit qu’il me regardait aussi. Pendant que nos partenaires discutaient tranquillement, nous nous défiâmes du regard. Il fallut l’arrivé sur scène de la présidente Kate Kane pour couper notre petit jeu.

“Héro et villains, bienvenue pour cette 22ièm édition de la réunion annuel des super LGBTQ. Si nous sommes réunis, c’est pour parler des problèmes que nous avons à nouveau des subis de l’avancé de nos droits mais surtout de vous et comment vous avez de chaque côté, apporté un peu plus à notre association. Cette année encore aura été riche en événement alors je voudrais commencer par un diapo pour retracer ces douzes mois passés ensemble!”

La super rousse quitta la scène sous les applaudissements. Alors que la salle plongeait dans le noir, Hasna glissa sa main dans la mienne et posa sa tête sur mon épaule.

“Tu te rends compte qu’on va y être? Dans nos jolies tenues de mariées.

-Je vais avoir peur que certaines veuillent te draguer, tu es tellement jolie sur ces photos.

-Hors de question que je te laisse seule, tu en profiterais pour assassiner mes clients.”

Elle sourit malicieusement. Je serrais sa main dans la mienne. Sur une toile tendue défilaient les images des mariages, adoptions et autres événements importants de l’années. Je lui retournais son sourire alors que passais la photo de notre mariage, du plus beau jour de notre vie.

margrid arnaud das music-i mean marie antoinette das musical for that ask meme

LET’S GO

Top 5 favourite characters: Margrid, Orléans, Louis, Marie, Fersen

Other characters you like: Lamballe, the kids, Robespierre, Danton, Immortal Marat

Least favourite characters: Hébert, Bertin, Hébert, Leonard, Jacques Réne Hébert, Drouet, Hébert...

Otps: Margrid/Orléans, Marie/Louis....I COULD ship Margrid/Lamballe and Margrid/La Motte but let’s be real I’m not going to, Marie/Orléans in a very specific way (namely Bitter Ex Friends)

Notps: Hébert/Margrid, Fersen/Margrid, Hébert/Orléans

Favourite friendships: Fersen & Margrid, Lamballe & Antoinette, Orléans & Lamballe (not canon to the musical, but was a historical Thing), Orléans & Margrid when I’m not actively shipping them.

Favourite family: Marie’s family, especially her dynamic with Margrid (LET ! MARGRID ! BE ! THE WEIRD! AUNT!) and Louis’ odd dynamic with Orléans. Really, MA is just the story of one very, very dysfunctional family.

Favourite season/book/movie: 2018 Toho Production.

Favourite quotes: .....showing myself for the Orléans Stan I am: “Oh, cowards, tremble and sleep!” Mitsuo Yoshihara’s delivery SELLS it. Honorable mention: “Just the smallest of sparks is sufficient to set dry grass into an inferno - I just need to promise them a new world where they can live in.”

That and the from the final song, the entire cast: “Can we change the world for ourselves? What can we do to break the chains of violence? What is equality? When will people finally learn from the past? Will revenge ever end? That answer can only be yielded by ourselves!”

Best musical moment: There are some REALLY good moments in this musical - Margrid calling the wrath of God down on the aristocrats during “Blinded by the Light of a Thousand Candles”, the reprise of “Blinded” when the poor join in with Margrid, the entirety of “I Am The Best”, the key change in the Korean version of “Kill the Snakes”, the part during the March to Versailles when the other women join in for the first time to tell Margrid they aren’t going, Fersen’s low note during his first love song with Antoinette, the bit during “The Only Thing I ever Did Right” when Fersen comes in for the first time and he and Antoinette duet, the bit during The Jacobin Club when the entire Jacobin Club steps out together and swears to bring down Antoinette, the bit during “Eyes of Hatred” when Margrid and Antoinette’s voices blend PERFECTLY, the bit during the trial when the crowd begins to apply pressure to Antoinette while Margrid realizes how fucked up things have gotten.

Moment that made you fangirl/boy the hardest: I was trying to not be predictable.....but look. I lose my shit every time we get to “I Am The Best”. Because they really DID give Orléans the single best song in the musical and expected us NOT to stan. That and when he takes his final bow, because he gets a reprise of the song WITH electric guitars because, yes, he’s an extra bitch.

When it really disappointed you: The 2021 Toho. I could devote an entire post to how that production disappointed me, even outside of my personal ships, but like. It was a disappointment from beginning to end and I’m actually happy that it’s out of Tokyo now.

Saddest moment: Margrid sobbing after Antoinette’s death and then having to wipe the tears off her face to meet the tribunal. And then the look on her face at the end....

Most well done character death: Marie’s - Literally the entire musical has been leading up to this and the scene itself makes a wonderful use of callbacks and musical cues to give it this sense of TENSION throughout the entire thing, which builds off of that earlier scene where Hébert confronts Margrid. We know that Antoinette is going to die - There’s no way of avoiding it, but we still are wondering what’s going to happen. What’s Margrid going to do? Is she going to risk a life of security for the sake of the woman she’s started to feel sympathy for? Are these two women ever going to come to terms with one another, with the answer being yes as Antoinette by calls Margrid by her name instead of “the girl” and Margrid gives that last, dangerous bow.

Favourite cast member: I’m not generally big on following individual cast members, but PROBABLY Sonim?

Character you wish was still alive: I. Might have toyed with a few ways of keeping Marie alive in the past.

One thing you hope really happens: Really, really hoping the upcoming Korean production is good. Like, that’s the extent of my ambition after the last Toho.

Most shocking twist: Lamballe’s Death. I have NEVER seen anyone come in prepared for it in over 2 years of streaming. *I* was shocked when I saw it because I literally never expected a Japanese depiction of Marie Antoinette to get into the September Massacres, especially do THAT extent. And it really is the point where, suddenly, you realize that NO ONE is safe. Up until this point, no one’s died. The Royal Family’s imprisoned, but there’s a certain romanticism you can find in the situation, the idea that, hey, now they’re a happy, nuclear family. Then, the show distracts you with that discussion between Marie and Margrid so that they it can SLAM the knife into your back. And, from that point, no one’s safe. Literally anyone in the cast can die, to the point where people do, genuinely fear for Margrid’s safety by the end. It’s probably one of the single best twists I’ve seen in musical theatre, because it sets the stage for the last twenty minutes brilliantly.

When did you start watching/reading?: You know? It had to have been back in 2013. A subber that I liked had JUST finished Rebecca das Musical and had moved on to Marie Antoinette, and I thought “Well! Kunze and Levay came out with a Mar’ie Antoinette musical? I’ve got to see this, it’s going to be good!”

Spoiler alert: It was not good. I made it twenty minutes in, got to the brothel scene, and never looked back. Which means that, actually, I only BARELY missed Orléans’ song.

Favourite location: Antoinette’s bedroom - Those crazy sons of bitches REALLY replicated Antoinette’s ACTUAL BED to use.

Trope you wish they would stop using: Stop trying to make Fersen/Margrid happen, it’s not going to happen. In general, there’s this idea that Margrid MUST be totally, absolutely loveless, and I don’t really see it. I’ll be the last to say she hasn’t had a hard life, but there’s this need to ISOLATE her that I just don’t really vibe with. I’m not even saying in an inherently romantic sense (in canon...I wouldn’t actually WANT to see, say, her and Orléans making out on-stage), but just in terms of having genuine connections.

One thing this show/book/film does better than others: It really does a wonderful job as far as developing two separate female characters - Which shouldn’t be THAT HARD, given you have plenty of musicals about multiple guys all the time, and yet SOMEHOW....

Also, Margrid in particular is phenomenal, as a character. It’s definitely not uncommon for people to go in for Marie and end up really, really attached to Margrid and her development.

Funniest moments: Hébert nearly getting hit with a door, Margrid peaking under her ball gown while it’s on the rack and Orléans dragging her away, the Stars and Stripes Gown....

Couple you would like to see: .....Orléans/Margrid. I know that I say I don’t want them to actually be CANON canon but also I would NOT complain if they did. Especially after the 2021 Toho production, it’s what I deserve.

Actor/Actress you want to join the cast: Park Hye Na as Korean!Margrid would kill me, I know it.

Favourite outfit: Besides Orléans’ 2018 coat (4ever in our hearts), special props to Antoinette’s golden gown in the opening. WHAT a character introduction.

Favourite item: Margrid’s little knapsack she keeps on her.

Do you own anything related to this show/book/film?: I own a ballpoint pen and a program from the 2021 Toho run - One of these days, I keep meaning to buy the German libretto so that I can translate it.

Most boring plotline: BERTIN AND LEONARD. (But, in all fairness........look, they’re annoying, but also, when they’re gone, you do miss them, because that’s when shit gets fucked.)

Most laughably bad moment: The entire 2006 Toho Cast exists just to be one very long laughably bad moment. That and, tbh, the German. Special props to the Brothel Scene.

Most layered character: Margrid. Marie is ALSO a very layered, complex character, but Margrid gets special props because, off the top of my head, I can’t REALLY think of another female protagonist, in a musical, like her. Not saying they don’t EXIST, but I’m saying I haven’t personally seen them.

Most one dimensional character: ...2006 Orléans. He Who We Don’t Discuss.

Scariest moment: See above for Lamballe.

Grossest moment: Hébert's final confrontation scene with Margrid.

Best looking male: Kim Jun Hyun’s Orléans. *Wow*.

Best looking female: Jang Eun Ah’s Margrid. Once again. *Wow.*

Who you’re crushing on (if any): ...both Orléans and Margrid. Predictably.

Favourite cast moment: Furukawa Yuta pranking Mitsuo Yoshihara by giving him “poisonous” things for his birthday, because “You are Duke d’Orleans and I am Fersen. You are poisonous and I am passive aggressive.”

Most beautiful scene (scenery/shot wise): The ball at Versailles. One of the most STUNNING scenes I’ve ever seen. Whoever did the lighting deserves all the accolades in the world for creating a scene that’s surreal, seductive, and gorgeous

Unanswered question/continuity issue/plot error that bugs you: Not an ERROR, but I’m really, really interested in the story of Jeanette Arnaud, because this woman really haunts Margrid’s entire life but there’s so LITTLE we know about her and Margrid’s feelings about her. How long did her affair with the Emperor last? Did she always know he was the emperor during their affair, or did they meet under different circumstances? Fersen was clearly able to figure out that she was a mistress of his, so how public was the affair? And, if it was that public, does it mean that she was a servant, or was she, at the very least, middle class? How did he find out her mother’s identity? Why didn’t Orléans double-check himself? Does Margrid have any living grandparents or uncles/aunts? How old was Margrid when she died? Did she die before or after Margrid was kicked out by the nuns? (In the German, it’s very clearly the former, but who knows?)

I feel like there’s a really, really dark, tragic tale underneath all this about a young woman who ended up paying the ultimate price for falling in love with someone above her station, but it’s one that’s kept to literally only a few sentences.

At what point did you fall in love with this show/book: Probably about.....five or ten minutes into the Toho, with the Palais Royal scene. I knew, from the time I saw Furukawa Yuta on stage as Fersen, that they’d changed things around, and then seeing the changes that were made, I was able to go “Oh! It’s good now!” I feel like the moment where I REALLY fell in love was “I Am The Best” because that had been a scene I’d been REALLY concerned about from the German and then Mitsuo Yoshihara casually came in there and owned it.
