Vienna, Ronacher, close sit, FINALLY a proper cast = brain damage.
Thank God I haven't gotten into TdV earlier, the consequences would've been pretty much deadly. But it's nice to feel very-very high after the musical, and have your brain exploded after stagedoor. The later's very cozy btw. Fandom people are positively insane, the old ladies are creepy, and there's a surprising amount of foreigners. What's not to love?
Having more then one fandom at a time's weird, btw. I mean, who the HELL sits there in the audience and thinks about what would've happen if Krolok would've met Erik Lendsherr?! xDD Don't even know where that came from.
... Or that Herbert=Lestat. But that's more about Sarich playing way too many vampires.
+ a couple of things about the Vamps themselves:
I love how decadent they are. Comedy/parody apart, there's really great 'philosophy'. If you think about it, there IS one God left, the god of Hunger. It's not only greed - that one has a long history - but emotionally, nothing feels enough, and I won't even start on the humans actually consuming their planet. Before I felt that the ViennaRevival-ending was a bit too literal, but it does pretty much sum up the idea of the show.
Sarich's face expressions are unbelievable. He can do anything with that... gum-face, for the lack of a better expression.
Perman has an amazing voice, and I love him, yet somehow I found the u/s Albert more interesting. He's so gleeful during Für Sarah, that it's almost heart-breaking. After all, he's so happy about fighting for her and finding the reason to be brave, he's so sure that he IS brave, when this dream of being a hero will never come true.
Shaki's such a powerful actress. Sorry, subjective, but for once it's very clear what Sarah's about. She's so much more then just a naive girl, but it still doesn't feel like she's using Alfred. It also felt like she's embracing the darkness willingly, like she's not under any illusion at all.
What else? Oh, yes, I like Herbert much more even since the last time. Stuff he does during the ball, his reaction to daddy bringing in the girl and then having feast all by himself? Priceless!
The u/s Prof.'s just as funny as the main-cast one, but, hey, he still does and sings some bits differently.
Also, this choreography's a masterpiece.
