Ahem.
kirakira_sora texted me at 5:00AM to point out that
there's an article about Alice-chan up on ENAK. ^_______^ I don't have time to translate it word for word, but I can give a pretty good summary. :3
Since it's in the "Name of Takarasienne" series, it first covers the origin of Alice-chan's stage name, which I have read about before in... the musumeyaku Young Star Guide, yes. She loved Alice in Wonderland as a child, and her name reflects the part where Alice becomes small "like a flower" (I've never been good at explaining where the 影 comes in, but it makes sense in Japanese...).
The article mentions that she's not only performing her fourth shinko lead in Reimei, but that she's also the shinko "leader". :)
It goes over the first show she saw. The fact that she got into TMS on the first try. Also, the fact that she looks like O-Hana. ^___^
She started getting large roles very early, had a Bow Hall lead in Understudy and an outside lead in All Shook Up.
The article ends with a quote from Alice about how much she learned from All Shook Up, how much she loved it because it's a cheerful musical and 'Zuka does so many tragedies, and that's why she loves Kathy from Singin' in the Rain.
Sigh. Way to end on a low note. IT WAS MEANT TO BE YOURS, MY ANGEL!!!
