Re: All About Werther

Lucky!! One day, maybe I'll be able to :)

Ahhhh I'm not going to be able to follow it in German at all (I could get the refrains in the musical if they were short and they repeated them slowly, but only because I had the translation right there :P ), but if he ever does Don Carlos in English let me know, because these are hilarious :D

(Oh! And mildred pointed out to me that I might be able to watch German DVDs in one way or another, so I have German DVDs of this production now, which looks like it could be interestingly regie. But I have been too busy to actually try to figure out how to watch it *facepalm*

If an English version shows up, I'll tell you.

And hey, one of the two Amazon reviews says this production mostly kept the original text (not always the case in Regietheater) and made the viewer empathize with Philip instead of just Posa and Carlos, and that Elisabeth comes across as whip smart, so it should be up your alley...

That review, uh, may have been the thing that made me pull the trigger on it :D One day I'll have the time to try to figure out how to play it *rolls eyes at self*
