New shows!

[yukinojou]

Like everyone else's, my spider sense is tingling about the title and summary of Yuuhi's next Grand Theatre revue - if it showcases her talents as a Nice Guy and is done by Fuji-sensei, I guess the retirement announcement should come mid-A Beautiful Life? A tails-musical in the first half will showcase her style, I hope, and if anyone could do a musical about tailors, it's Ueda Keiko-sensei. And hey, no Masatsuka-S for a final show - I really approve of that.

And Canary means that Eritan's hanging around for 2012 at least ♥

However, OCEAN'S ELEVEN. Can we rename it the SHOW OF CAPSLOCK already and be done with it? ;) Unless Hoshigumi steals someone from Senka, it's going to be Junko-san as Saul, Chie gets Danny of course, and then my dream cast would be Toyoko!Benedict, Tomomin!Rusty, Beni!Linus and Makaze!... Ohdear. Basher, Frank, Virgil? Only Renta would be a fantastic Basher, and if Junko-san's Reuben instead, that opens up Makaze!Saul, which would fit with the RIDICULOUS.

I really, really hope everyone's "Spidey-senses" are wrong about Yuuhi's retirement. I want her to stay longer! But, that's how everyone feels about their favorites, isn't it? Still, keeping my fingers crossed.

And, Ocean's Eleven?! That is really neat. Sort of scuttles my hopes of Hoshi doing Elisabeth this year, though. But, there's always next year for that!

The revue summary's really tell-tale, but if it's so, she's getting a glorious sendoff. If I had my way, everyone's sayonaras would be done by Keiko-S, Fuji-S, and Koike-S.

The previous three Elisabeths were all spring-summer shows, so I think they might opt for one in 2012 :) Hoshi, I think, Tomu'll want to keep it for later. Can't see it with current Soragumi.

I'm going to start my "sayonara" savings fund in case everyone's right. Don't want to be caught out on goodies.

I'm really hoping for 2012. It's Hoshi's turn! And the idea of Chie!Tod is very appealing, as is Nene!beth. I can't really see it with Soragumi as of now either (although it would have been amusing to see Yuuhi grow up from Rudolf to Tod^^). Has Sora stopped their "no repeats" policy?

[yukinojou]

Nene was a fantastic shinko!Beth :)

And Sora's bound to stop that policy sooner or later. They're no longer the Special Troupe, after all.

One day, I will be in Japan and my luck will be good and that shinko will be playing on Sky Stage. I've seen one clip of Morie!Tod, and I've fallen in love. Why is she not top-tracked right now?

I'd love to see Nene play it "for real". I've fallen in love with her completely (and Remi as well - those Tsuki girls do well wherever they are^^).

I look forward to that. I think it was a useful policy in the early years, so that the Top Stars didn't end up repeating shows, but the troupe's changed so much since then, that a fresh take on a previous show would be interesting to see.

Sky Stage recordings are obtainable ;) Alas, Morie ran up against Masaki and Mirio in a glut of talent, but I love what Kiriyan's been doing with her. Thus far in Kiriyan's shows Prince of the Land of Roses is the first where Morie isn't directly by Kiriyan's side - before it was romantic lead, bestfriend, best not!friend, bestfriend. She looks happy, too :)
