Oh and since NO ONE has mentioned it yet...

Mizu-san you rebel, you wore BLACK LEATHER for raku iri?!?! ^^;;;;

And a tux for coming down the staircase, it seems it's the in thing to do now.

Also, Mika ;______;

In my mailbox today: heavy packages of photos from Alice Club and With Yuuya :D The postman was good to me today :D ( Read more... )

Ah, Masatsuka-sensei. You finally got one right! Such a solid show <--- this equates to "pretty decently good" after I've been disappointed time and again...

I've always wanted to do a review this way, where I take the official summary and break it down to "what this actually means onstage". It seems Roget is the show where I finally try it out. ( So here we go. )

I feel like I owe LJ at least one report tonight, but strangely enough I'm not in the right mood to post about bunkasai. So I'll do Solferino now. (Yes, I do feel the need to re-record my thoughts now that I've seen it again.)

( Does this mean anything? )

I forgot, there was one more speculatory thing I was going to post.

( Mizu. Turn back now if you don't want retirement talk. )

This morning.

Yumiko Cafe Break! Was so great ♥ ♥ ♥ She talked about how the "reciting the magic spell" bit in Russian Blue has been an adlib from the beginning -- in the script there are just parentheses / quotation marks there with nothing inside them. ^^;;; During the Grand Theater run she and Mizu talked about what would be said... but ( Read more... )

Introductory note: this is a rambling, speculative post -- mostly full of rhetorical questions. I invite people to air their own theories if they wish... but everyone is just as free to skip all of this. ;P

I went to bed thinking about how awesome it would've been if Soragumi had done Casablanca before 2005 -- with Wao!Rick, Hana!Ilsa and Mizu!Laszlo ( Read more... )
