Onegin (Yukigumi + Senka, November 5 2010)

The entire Takarazuka run of this show sold out the day we got in, so I had to use somewhat unorthodox means (also known as bribing the hostel staff with sweets) to get my ticket. I'm very, very glad I did. With one show to go, it's the best show I've seen during this trip, hands down.

Review: Brothers Karamazov (Snow 2008-2009, Umeda)

First of my long-overdue reviews - Tales of Hoffman (Mirio/Morie version) will be coming up next.

Between the basis for the story and the play digest, I knew that the 2008-2009 smaller-stage Snow outing was one I had to get. It was my birthday present to myself, and it didn't disappoint. Consider yourselves warned for a lot of superlatives in the following review!
