The German musical scene is so funny, because we got like 5 (five) dudes who have all played the same roles plus a bunch of Dutch women

Bruh I find it so annoying how I had to get hyperfixated on the least popular piece of media ever. Like why did my brain not choose Harry Potter or something. There is like 10 active elisabeth das musical accounts and nobody I know outside this app knows it 😭😭

call me old-fashioned but if someone called me "enchanted starchild/ verwunschenes Sternenkind " I too would let them suck all blood out of me

Life is great because you can listen to European musicals. But watch out!

Today was Rebecca's Dernière (last show) in Vienna after a 15-month run. I'm trying to cope with by posting my photos from when I finally got to see it on New Year's Eve. Since I know approximately 3 people IRL who are aware of this show, I would love to share them with you all.

I have something REVOLUTIONARY to show all Elisabeth das musical fans, I managed to upscale some photos of Uwe's 1992 Tod online and LOOK HOW GOOD THEY TURNED OUT OMG

Here are both versions of each photo for comparison purposes:

Wait there's more

Okay, so I know this is an extremely niche ask, but I've gotten really into this clip from a special performance of Elisabeth for deaf and hard-of-hearing musical theatre fans in Essen in 2002:

Since then, I've been trying to find the two other videos that I know exist from this performance (thumbnails shown below); one of Maike Boerdam and Jesper Tyden rehearsing "Der Schleier fällt" and the other of the final bows. Unfortunately, the website that it came from shut down in 2018, and although it is on the Internet Archive, the links for the videos were not archived, so all I have are these thumbnails:

If anyone has these videos downloaded, or knows where I can find them, please let me know. As a hard-of-hearing musical theatre fan, I really try to find any scraps of information on mainstream musicals made accessible for the Deaf community, and I was so excited when I heard that Elisabeth (one of my all-time favorite musicals) had done a performance involving sign in any capacity!
