-Enjolras/Grantaire (Les mis)
-Mozart/Salieri (Mozart L'Opera Rock)
-Melchior/Moritz (Spring Awakening)
(just off the top of my head I am sure there are more)
anyone else sad that none of their friends like musicals so you have no one to talk about musical theatre to? and like there are no theatre clubs or productions I can join or anythingđ
I always imagined Melchior as a hands-on sort of teacher.
theatre element i think about 24/7: the reason why characters sing in musicals is because the words and ideas are too much, too powerful just to be spoken. THEY HAVE TO SINGGG!! and in turn crush the hearts of many, fill our hearts with joy, and all the other emotions.
ESPECIALLY been thinking about this in the context of âthose youâve knownâ from spring awakening. itâs just such a powerful song and the message is both inspiring and bittersweet.
ânightâs falling, but somehow on i goâ AHHHHHH
Just felt like doing a re-roundup of all the pics I could find. Frank Wedekind's "Spring Awakening" at VolksbĂźhne, Berlin, 1929.
Peter Lorre as Moritz Stiefel, Lotte Lenya as Ilse, and that gentleman in the one pic is Carl Balhaus, who went on to play Moritz in the 1929 silent movie.
