Non-replica productions I kinda think looks alike: The Hungarian production and the Restaged Tour

Well, to be fair: not in all scenes. But the fact that they both feature Apollo's lyre towards a full moon makes me look twice when photos emerges. Even if the scale is not the same and the Hungarian production also feature the dome. But there's something about the overall vibe.

Ditto for the palm-dominated backdrop and two-tier tage based boxes in Think of Me. Not to mention the stage-based Mausoleum set with sculptures and crosses, where the Phantom emerges from behind the Daaé grave, and the scene ends with pyro work.

What goes into the decision behind running a replica vs. non-replica POTO? Does it boil down to costs or contracts or is it related to artistic license? And even when they run non-replica, it still says ALW's Phantom, so how much still has to run true to his original?

For the decision-making, it just depends on the production! There are some versions that could probably afford to do the replica production, but choose not to because they want to explore other interpretations or because they have always done non-replicas. For example, musicals in Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Finland have traditionally always done non-replicas, so when they put Phantom on, it's no different. Within this category too are other reasons - for example, several of these productions are also in repertoire theaters, meaning they have multiple different shows cycling in the same theater across the year, so it's also about using the space wisely.

For other productions, yes, cost is a big reason. This is more the case in countries where musical theater is not as established, such as Italy, Norway, or Greece; here, it's easier to not have to pay the licensing costs or production to put on the replica and just make a version that is cheaper and likely to recoup the money back. But that doesn't mean artistry or creative license is not a factor, and creators of productions on a lower budget have still talked about how they wanted the opportunity to reinterpret the material.

As for the second question, the show has to use the same music, story, and lyrics (with some leeway for translations) as the replica, but the sets, costumes, choreography, and blocking can change. If you look at any non-replica of ALW's, they are still playing the same music, singing the same songs, and following the same general story; it's just the visuals and the blocking that changes, and even the latter has to stay within the boundaries of the story (no Christine going back to the Phantom at the end, for example). If everything changes, then you're not a non-replica, you're just a totally different version, e.g. the Ken Hill version, the Yeston/Kopit version.

Not that that's stopped some high school productions from trying to insert their new and improved lines.

Not to sound like a theatre kid on main but unfortunately I have this mental illness that makes me listen to Elisabeth das Musical every time I go to a place that used to be part of Austria-Hungary and since I was distracted by POTO when I was actually there I have had it on repeat since I came back. I can't stop I need help

@outshinethestars replied to your post: “I want to see a Hetalia/PotO fusion fic where...”

Wait, wait were people making PRUSSIA the phantom? @konstantya, I know this was eight years ago but WHY? I know he’s the “bad boy” or whatever but it’s just entirely not his style. Especially when Austria is RIGHT THERE. (I guess Prussia could be Raul? Just a much, much spicier version.)

I don’t think it was ever a super popular thing in the fandom, but it was definitely a niche thing of sorts, and I distinctly remember a couple fanarts that had Prussia as the Phantom (and one with Turkey as the Phantom, which I much preferred, because at least there’s the mask connection there???).

I suspect it was a hazard of Austria being, well, aristocratic like Raoul, and also being generally regarded as sweet, husband material (and a pushover, at that), despite the fact that even in canon (to say nothing of RL history) he could be a Quite a Dick™, pfft.

#reply #hetalia #aph austria #aph prussia #the phantom of the opera #maybe it was also a hazard of the phantom/christine being the preferred PotO pairing #and pruhun being the preferred hungary pairing (at the time???) #i never really got into the frying pangle drama but i know a lot of people saw austria as a boring and milquetoast option for hungary #anyway p.s. i also finally replied to the comment you left on my DW!

Sometimes I hink about how it’s the 21st century so it’s a lot easier for costume designers to design historically accurate costumes now that there’s so much information on the Internet and then I look at Phantom non-replicas and cry
