Guys and Dolls
Jun. 14th, 2009 01:00 pmI put on "Guys and Dolls" the other day after having not watched it in a good year or so.
( Over-analyzing the ending and why I'm disatisfied with it )
When I first saw this show a good year and a half ago, I think it had been hyped up *so* much that I couldn't completely enjoy it. (Er, not that Guys and Dolls isn't a worthy show, but rather sometimes your expectations become so high that there is no humanly possible way for them to be fulfilled). But even at the time, the "I've Never Been in Love Before" scene was so tender and sweet I nearly cired. Kurara isn't one of my favorite musumeyaku, but she makes an excellent partner to Rika.
And Kiriyan's Adelaide? (This is what I'm talking about in regards to things being overly hyped). Finally I was able to enjoy it, and she does such an amazing job of both hamming it up AND being sexy. Also, I can't help but be proud of Micchan for getting such a big role at such a young age <333333
The ending may never felt right to me, but the songs are catchy, the characters are memorable, and the entire cast looks like they're having so much fun. You can't help but like it ;)
