Since I've gotten home, I haven't managed to get any work done on my grad school admissions essays. And yet I seem to have found the time to finish my Casablanca review AND write a Christmas card to Micchan >.> For the record, I went into this show thinking of it as "Takarazuka Does Casablanca." I don't think anyone could be Humphrey Bogart, etc. so I tried to think of this "Casablanca" as a completely different animal.
( The Bad )
( The Good )
( Cast Rundown )
So in conclusion…no, it’s not an absolutely perfect show. But I really, really love it anyway, and I really recommend that everyone see it

I have no idea why the review for "Amour, sore wa..." showed up in front of the "Bara ni Furu Ame" review. I give up on formatting in LJ with cuts -_-;;; I'm just grateful that everything appeared, didn't sneak out from under the cut, and isn't entirely in bold :P

Casablanca
Jul. 11th, 2009 02:52 amSo tonight I sat down and watched Casablanca. It was AMAZING, and definitely deserves its status as a great American film. If you haven't seen it, I really do recommend it. I can feel my willpower and common sense melting, although it's not completely gone yet.
This only makes me more excited about the Takarazuka version. I suspect it could be a very talk-y show, but it suits the atmosphere. And I wonder how they'll incorporate "As Time Goes By" and the other songs? Or maybe they'll have to go with other songs if getting the original copyright is a problem?
Anyway, I decided to write down my casting predictions. I always like doing these and going back later to see how I did. (For the record, I'd like to brag that![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
wao_wao and I predicted long before the summary of Paradise Prince was released that Tomu would be an evil, corporate villain trying to get Tani to sell out and Micchan would play Tani's friend XD)

♥♥♥♥♥♥ Watanabe no Tsuna ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Jun. 19th, 2009 01:06 amYou can tell that Hokushou Kairi has permanently warped my mind when I start becoming excited about a Heian era nihonmono >.> But we got Watanabe no Tsuna!!!! (Okay, so this is what I had been expecting from the beginning, but I was afraid to get my hopes up after the disappointment of BeruBara: Alain Hen.
( From my limited internet research, this is what I've figured out about some of the other roles: )( Cut for speculation )
