Hmm...

No official casting announcements yet, but according to this picture it looks like Ume-chan is playing Rosalie in soragumi's BeruBara next year.  (Or at the very least, a traditional musumeyaku role.  And in Andre Hen is there anyone else it could be other than Rosalie?)

Part of me feels annoyed on both Ume's (and Ayane-chan's) behalf.  It would have been really something to see a musumeyaku Oscar.

...the other part of me is secretly (and guiltily) pleased that this brings the scenario of a certain soragumi sanbante playing Oscar a little closer to fruition.  If I write to said sanbante about it, is that going to jinx it?  *looks around at universe suspiciously*

Well, the dress is in fact the one originally worn by La Marquise de Pompadour.
And having no fringe is rather untypical for Rosalie, she always has a fringe.
On the other hand, I don't know who Ume-chan could be playing.
It's not Marie Antoinette, that would be more obvious and there's no contact at all between André and her.
The only women in is life are in fact Rosalie and Oscar.
And in the former André version of Rose of Versailles, the top musumeyaku was Rosalie as well. We'll see. And I'm curious. :D

Wow, I'm impressed at your dress identification.

Do you think that they would bring a new lead musumeyaku character into the BeruBara canon for this show?
