omg this is AMAZING I need all the lyrics to this! you can tell the people who made this were really enjoying themselves, and I did too :D
Fritz and Wilhelmine song "Wir beide gehören zusammen
okay, the people who made this musical clearly are 100% with our little group in both being fascinated by Fritz/Wilhelmine and being all "welp, that was sure one orientation and two sex drives away from a huge scandal!" (I especially loved the bit where he takes her hand and she sort of... looks at it...)
Voltaire being sarcastic about the Philosophe de Sanssouci collecting intellectuals, including himself
The hilarity of this song was, I fear, overshadowed by me going "But how can Voltaire possibly be a baritone? He's clearly a tenor!" (I suppose that would have made the balance off, given that both Fritz parts and FW seem to be tenors?) This makes me realize I totally think of Voltaire as Basilio in Nozze :P (Now watch real-life Voltaire have been a baritone, just to spite me!)
Die Schande Preußens (FW vs young Fritz) vs Ebenbild (aka Frederick the Great realises he's become just like Dad)
<3 also I thought FW having the beer mug in his hand was hilarious
Finale (featuring Katte's ghost bring at last peace to Old Fritz)
<333333 that bit where young!Fritz and Katte and Wilhelmine <33333 and they're all singing "Sanssouci," and my heart just melted <33333
