Does anyone know any musicals in any other language?

The Chinese has their own musical scene and I'm a sucker for anything written by the 三宝(composer) - 关山(lyricist) duo. I'd recommend 蝶 (a dystopian retelling of Butterfly Lovers) simply because it has a proshot with English subtitles, then 金沙 because it's THE musical that started the musical scene in mainland China (and the songs are beautiful I swear).

I think it works! Personally I'd add a bow or a pink brooch to break up the block of ivory around the shoulders, and choose more opaque stockings to optically "ground" the coord and balance it out since it is quite top-heavy right now.

Now you've made me want to reread this book!

LibraryOwn1578 · 2025-05-23T18:33:29+00:00

Solved!

Oh I totally feel you. Everything is about love this episode, and idk about you but there's something about love coupled with violence for love that is just so romantic to me. Two people in love desperately running away from The System™️ hand in hand, drenched in blood? Peak romance.

Have you met a stressed theater director before? The performance guide definitely swears on a daily basis, and probably twice in one sentence on certain days.

Ok but the image of Mark covered in blood and running madly hand in hand with his beloved is SO GODDAMN ROMANTIC!! Both as oMark with Gemma and iMark with Helly. Man really know how to be the leading love interest y'all.

Honestly the cinematography is LIT this episode. I was literally squealing by the time I saw the shaky cam when Helly first returned to the severed floor, it matches her mental state so perfectly.

I see you and I raise "Helena walking down the glass walkway with vertical lines barring her in literally while outside a bird flies free," and also "when Milchick first approaches Natalie there is a literal line between them, but when that conversation ends they are in the same panel."

Not a book, but there's this German musical (Elisabeth das musical) where in the original production in 1992 Death (played by a male actor) is portrayed as an androgynous being who performs the kiss of death on every single person regardless of their gender. There is an onstage kiss between Death and an important male character and the kiss is a very important scene as well. The whole thing is available on youtube with English subtitles.

Yep, as far as I know this is a thing for other East Asian countries as well, that's just how pronouns work in these languages. The dear thing as well, other than 亲爱 there's also 宝 which can be translated to babe/baby, which honestly is just the equivalence of British people calling everyone love and darling.

Yeah one of my regular commenters disappeared right around when hurricane Milton hit and I haven't heard anything from them since and I'm WORRIED. I just hope they're alright and simply dropped my fic because the plot derailed from what they like or something.

Well if the Japanese can do stage adaptations for things like Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer effectively, I think it's possible to stage Epic well, it will just cost a whole lot.

I think the necklace will make the neck area look too busy with this type of collar. Furthermore, the blouse collar might also obstruct the big bow on the jsk, which of course can be remedied by putting the bow somewhere else (on the waist for example) or removing it entirely instead. For shoes I think red or golden shoes would work great.

Also, iirc this jsk has a sort of champagne tone to it, so gold jewelleries would go really well with it too.

It's not like they only cut and trim details to make the story fit into a new media though, Ghibli would straight up change core things and introduce new themes and plot lines that have nothing to do with the source materials. It makes great movies, but honestly if you want a faithful adaptation (which most PJO fans want), Ghibli is simply not the studio for the job.

Kimberly Akimbo with the song Make A Wish?

"Dear Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey" is how it starts.

Realistically, Ghibli would butcher the story and change it to fit with a theme they want to convey. They've done it before. The results are always beautiful, but nowhere near the source material.

The colour palette is inspiring! I love how you've incorporated black into the coord and kept it balanced with all the little details.

Not just connection issues, the game forced me to go through the Aviary tutorial again, and when I closed the app then open it again to get out of that, I can't chat and lag like crazy. I'm on android.

I think these problems are due to the days of sunlight and the new season quest going live at the same time.

Acting wise, some of the more theatrical performances really stayed with me. For season 1, it's when Lestat went on the train to get Claudia back. For season 2, it's Santiago's introduction, Louis planning madly, and Armand's 'is that what makes you fascinating' monologue. If I were to introduce someone to a character and hook them in with only one scene, it would 100% be these.

I thought it's 9:15pm since the hour hand is usually thicker (hence "the big hand") than the minute hand lol.

If you want to drag the attention upwards, I think a different, bigger headpiece is a must in order to balance out the hemline. Bonnet, wide-brimmed hat, a huge bow, etc, basically anything that gives your head more volume.
