Ohhhh THAT was why that theme sounded so familiar! (And the reason why I couldn't place it was because I had totally forgotten FW had a solo! It took me a fair amount of bouncing around before I located it even after you told me about it, lol, I'd forgotten because it was so early.) Okay that's AWESOME and I am really happy that they did that and that you told me about it :D (It is pretty similar as far as I can tell (I didn't spend a long time on it), only Fritz's is a minor third up -- which makes that sit a lot higher in the voice, pretty high for a tenor! Kudos to him for fielding that well -- rather better than FW's actor in a less challenging key, in fact, which I suppose isn't symbolic of anything but I'm going to let that sit there anyway.)

Also, gotta amend the "no catchy tunes" thing -- now that I went back and listened again to the FW/Fritz tune it actually has gotten stuck in my head a bit, so I have to give them props for that too :)

(Because when did people ever lie in a stage play? :'D)

Heeee! (Also this probably dates me, but it reminds me of this Simpson's moment!) But yeah, the thing that's so weird is that I could forgive it not making sense historically (after all it's a musical), but it doesn't even make sense within the context of the musical itself!

Honestly, the things I'd give to see Heinrich in a musical... Maybe he can inherit one of the overly high and rather inaccurate women's wigs :'D Maybe a tapdance number...

I AM THERE FOR THIS :D And of course as selenak said there's her Lehndorff musical :D

But really I am gunning for him having his very own musical! (Maybe with Christian Borle playing Heinrich, now that he's made a bit of a career of playing not-conventionally-handsome leading men :D )
