<description><![CDATA[Gender: Feminine Origin: Hebrew Meaning: &#8220;God is my oath; God is abundance.&#8221; The name is]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft" title="Queen Elizabeth I" src="http://www.behindthename.com/imagebank/images/elizabeth.jpg" alt="" width="317" height="420" />Gender: Feminine<br />
Origin: Hebrew<br />
Meaning: &#8220;God is my oath; God is abundance.&#8221;</p>
<p>The name is a transliterated form of the Biblical Greek Ελισβετ (<em>Elisabet</em>), which is a Hellenized version of the Biblical Hebrew feminine name, אֱלִישֶׁבַע‎ (<em>Elisheva</em>).</p>
<p>Elizabeth appears twice in the Bible, once in the Old Testament as the name of Aaron&#8217;s wife and once in the New Testament as the wife of Zachariah and the mother of John the Baptist.</p>
<p>Elizabeth has remained fairly consistent in the U.S top 100 for over a hundred years. She currently ranks in at # 9 and the lowest she has ever come in the U.S. charts was in 1945 at # 26.</p>
<p>In Australia she is the 37th most popular female name (2007), in Canada, she ranks in at # 20 (2008), in England/Wales she came in at # 40 (2008), in Ireland at # 63 (2007) and in Scotland at # 68 (2008).</p>
<p>The name was borne by several saints and European royalty. Among the most notable bearers were, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, a 12th-century Hungarian princess who was known for her acts of kindness and charity toward the poor and Queen Elizabeth I of England, including the current reigning Queen, Elizabeth II.</p>
<p>The name Isabel/Isabella are relatives, but have becomes so far apart from its original source, that they often occur concurrently in many European countries with Elizabeth, hence is why I shall devote a different post to Isabel/Isabella, but I shall cite her several times in this article as a variation whenever needed.</p>
<p>I believe one of the reasons why Elizabeth has been a long time favorite, is because of her versatility. She can be shortened to a variety of different nicknames, especially in English. The most popular are: (I have cited the ones that have commonly been used as independent given name with a black club)</p>
<p><em>Bess, Bessie, Beth♣, Bets, Betsy, Bet, Bettie/Betty, Bezzy, Bit, Bitsy, Biz, Buffy, Elisa♣, Elise♣, Elle♣, Eliza♣, Ella♣, Ellie, Elsa♣, Elsie♣, Ibbie, Lib, Libby, Lilly, Lisa♣, Liz, Lizzie, Liza♣, Tetty, Tibby and Tizzy</em>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Pictures taken from <a href="http://www.pullip.net"> Pullip.net</a>. I am not exactly sure who is responsible from the photography while I am grateful for the pictures, the photographer could probably benefit from a better camera ^^;. </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2488/4127533377_e35558d152.jpg" alt="null" /><br />
The November/December/January releases- Nothing earth-shattering here. I am personally very excited Naomi and Edge are currently in the mail at the moment and I simply must have Richt when funds become available. </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2605/4127533271_1f0c64584f.jpg" alt="null" /><br />
The January/ February/ Possible March releases- I am really looking forward to Feb&#8217;s, the more pictures I see the more I want all three. This picture seems to be confirming Dal Pinocchio, Byul Dumbo and another Audrey pullip for March. I am not sure if this Audrey is based on her portrayal of the title character from Sabrina or not as I am not familiar with the film, but there was a rumor floating around that a pullip based on her portrayal of that character was going to be the March release so I am kind of assuming it is ^^; . I still hate Byul but I so want the Dumbo Byul&#8217;s stock as I love elephants and Dumbo was one of my favorite movies as a kid. </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2680/4128305280_6c635ea085.jpg" alt="null" /><br />
Prototypes- A bunch of byul prototypes in the front some that I haven&#8217;t seen before, some that I have. I&#8217;ve noticed a lot of the byul prototype stock is nicer than some of the dals recently ^^; I think they may be trying to entice people over to the byul side. The Egyptian dal seems to be joined by an Egyptian pullip prototype, it&#8217;s kind of an interesting concept. I am not exactly sure what the other pullip prototype is at this point, is it supposed to be a Gypsy or something? </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2654/4128305394_dd888faf62.jpg" alt="null" /><br />
Doll Carnival Limiteds- Jouet, Isolde and newcomer Chantilly who is being released at this year&#8217;s doll carnival. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Nu är det bara <strong>34</strong> dagar kvar till jul!</p>
<p>Igår lyste solen i nästan 2½ timme här hos mig. Hur underbart var inte det? eller vad skriver jag det VAR naturligtvis helt underbart!!! Men en fråga bara vart är snön?? Vill ha! Ge hit! Och snabba på! Det känns som att det är mörkt mest hela tiden just nu – pust – det är tur att jag kan tända lite ljus till kvällen och ha mys i min soffa. Igår kväll gjorde jag en kanna av mitt favorit julte och åt lite julknäcke med kalvsylta på för att komma i stämning när mörkret föll. Jaja jag erkänner en liten bit av Marabous nya vinterchoklad slank ned den med. ^^</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dagens aktivitet:</span> <strong>Baka <a href="http://80dagartilljul.wordpress.com/vaniljbullar/">vaniljbullar</a></strong><em><br />
Idag jobbar jag kväll 15-21. Innan dess har jag tänkt hinna baka lite samt fira mig själv eftersom jag har namnsdag idag. Jupp, det är <strong>Elisabet</strong> idag och det är jag det. <a href="http://80dagartilljul.wordpress.com/vaniljbullar/">Vaniljbullar</a> är det som skall bakas idag. Vi är inga älskare av kanelbullar i vår familj, därför faller valet på <a href="http://80dagartilljul.wordpress.com/vaniljbullar/">vaniljbullar</a> istället. </em></p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Så planeringen ser ut som följer:<br />
</span>1. Frukostdisken skall tas reda på<br />
2. Baka <a href="http://80dagartilljul.wordpress.com/vaniljbullar/">vaniljbullar</a><br />
3. Diska efter baket<br />
4. Fika lite med sambon innan jobb för oss båda<br />
5. Jobb &#38; för sambon resa tillbaka till jobborten</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dagens middag:</span> Rester ur frysen (roligare än så blir det inte idag)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dagens hushållspyssel:</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Gestern abend war ich mit Freunden im Musical „Elisabeth“ von Michael Kunze und Sylvester Levay. Vor]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Gestern abend war ich mit Freunden im Musical „Elisabeth“ von Michael Kunze und Sylvester Levay. Vor mehr als 15 Jahren in Wien uraufgeführt (geniale Regie: Harry Kupfer) , erlebte das Musical um die „wahre Geschichte der Sissi, Kaiserin von Österreich“ in den darauffolgenden Jahren einen weltweiten Siegeszug, der seinesgleichen sucht.</p>
<p>Wer die original Wiener Fassung kennt, weiss, dass diese Inszenierung nicht unbedingt in die Kategorie „leichte, seichte Unterhaltung“ einzuordnen ist.</p>
<p>Auch die Musik von Levay und das Buch von Kunze versprechen Musiktheater auf hohem Niveau und verlangt dem Publikum einiges ab.</p>
<p>Natürlich wurden die großen Hits wie „Ich gehör nur mir“, „Der letzte Tanz“, „Die Schatten werden länger“ bekannt und sind in Jedermann Ohr. Dass das Musical aber auch sehr düstere, teilweise äusserst dissonante Passagen sowie unglaublich gute Ensemblenummern („Milch“, „Alle tanzen mit dem Tod“) zu bieten hat, ist dem Otto-Normal-Hörer nicht bekannt.</p>
<p>Damals in Wien hat man versucht, das Stück sehr abstrakt zu halten, weg vom Sissi-Kitsch, weg vom traditionellen Bühnenbauten-Theater. Alles war sehr skurril, der Zuschauer brauchte Fantasie und wurde in eine seltsame, morbide Welt hineingezogen.</p>
<p>Als das Stück dann vor einigen Jahren in Essen seine deutsche Erstaufführung hatte, hielt man sich sehr an die niederländische Inszenierung, die durchaus kitschig, bunt und erzählender war. Nun hatte man Sissi wieder auf das Kitsch-Niveau gehoben, das das Musical an sich propagiert.</p>
<p>Anlässlich der Tourneeproduktion hat man den Ur-Regisseur, Harry Kupfer, erneut verpflichtet, um die Wiener Fassung neu aufleben zu lassen.</p>
<p>Was soll man sagen?<br /> Dummerweise gibt es eine DVD-Aufzeichnung aus Wien aus dem Jahre 2005, die in einer Bildgewalt und musikalischen sowie darstellerischen Finesse alle Facetten des Stücks zeigt. Eine grandiose Besetzung, musikalisch top, Bühnentechnik vom Feinsten, ohne dass es dem Publikum bewusst ist.</p>
<p>Es ist selbstredend, dass eine Tourneeproduktion Abstriche machen muss, denn die Bühnenbilder müssen schnell auf- und abgebaut werden.</p>
<p>Kupfer hat es tatsächlich geschafft, den Flair der Originalproduktion auf die Tourneebühnen zu bringen. Anstelle von riesigen Hintergrundprospekten arbeitet er mit Videoprojektionen, anstelle der Hebebühne setzt er hier auf eine Drehbühne. Das funktioniert an sich sehr gut.</p>
<p>Nur wird es dummerweise sehr überreizt. Andauernd öffnet sich ein Türchen im Hintergrund, Darsteller fahren herein, heraus, winken sich zu, singen sich an und verschwinden wieder.</p>
<p>Und wenn sie dann tatsächlich einmal für wenige Momente auf der Bühne verweilen, stehen sie halt rum. Schuld daran ist vielleicht auch die Bühnenbreite des DT. Sie ist einfach zu groß. Das Problem hatten die Darsteller der Rocky Horror Show (siehe Blogeintrag) auch, denn die Bühne wirkte immer seltsam leer. So auch gestern.</p>
<p>Hat man in Wien noch dank Hebeelementen mit mehreren Ebenen arbeiten können, ist hier alles ebenerdig und seltsam „bodenständig“. Gut, dass die monströse Feile, auf der „Tod“ die meisten seiner Auftritte absolviert, in das Bühnenbild übernommen wurde. Denn sobald er sich mit Elisabeth und dem restlichen Personal auf eine Ebene stellt, wirkt er verloren. Das mag an Oliver Arnos Spielweise liegen, aber ich glaube eher an Kupfers müde Regie. Den Tod hätte man durchaus agiler und aggressiver zeigen dürfen, wie es auch die DVD-Aufnahme aus dem Theater an der Wien vormacht. In der Tourneefassung ist der Tod schön, hat eine nette Stimme, aber wirklich anziehend ist er nicht.</p>
<p>Alice Macura (2. Besetzung Elisabeth) wirkt jung, hat eine gute Stimme und konnte eine solide Leistung zeigen. Sauber gesungen, wirklich gut gespielt. Aber auch sie wurde in den großen Momenten („Ich gehör nur mir“, „Irrenhausballade“) von der Regie im Regen stehen gelassen. Als hätte man ihr gesagt: „Bleib stehen, dreh Dich zum Publikum und sing einfach schön.“ Natürlich kann es eine enorme Wirkung haben, wenn Schauspieler sich direkt ans Publikum richten und ihre Gedanken und Gefühle ausschütten. Aber warum muss die Bühne dann in beiden Fällen komplett hell erleuchtet sein? Da würde doch ein Spot auf dunkler Bühne mehr Eindruck machen.</p>
<p>Was mir bei Macura aufgefallen ist, ohne dass ich ihre Leistung schmälern möchte; ganz im Gegenteil: Die Elisabeth ist eine verdammt schwere Rolle, muss sie doch vom 14jährigen Mädchen bis zum hohen Erwachsenenalter ein ganzes Leben in 3 Stunden auf die Bühne bringen.</p>
<p>Aber hier wird wieder einmal klar: Diese Rolle erfordert eine Schauspielerin, die deutlich über 25 ist, die schon gelebt und erlebt hat. Die Stimme muss nicht herausragend sein, aber ich kaufe einer Mittzwanzigerin einfach keine 45 Jahre alte, verbitterte Frau ab, die alles verloren hat. V.a., wenn man es an der Stimme (nicht) hört. Trotzdem, Frau Macura, Hut ab vor Ihrer Leistung! Berührt hat es mich auf alle Fälle.</p>
<p>Das Ensemble ist großartig, sowohl stimmlich als auch darstellerisch. Das freut mich sehr, denn oft werden Ensemblenummern einfach stiefmütterlich behandelt. Aber hier macht es richtig Spaß zuzusehen. In den großen Chorpassagen hatte ich wirklich Gänsehaut.</p>
<p>Wen ich allerdings, leider Gottes, wirklich ganz entsetzlich fand, war Bruno Grassini als „Luigi Lucheni“, Elisabeths Mörder und Führer durch die Geschichte. Nicht nur, dass er unverständlich spricht, auch gesanglich hatte er sich eigentlich nur im Ton vergriffen. Kein Song, keine Passage, die auch nur annähernd die Partitur so wiedergegeben hätte, wie es denn auch notiert ist. Sein großes Solo, „Kitsch“, DIE Nummer des zweiten Aktes, ging total unter. Lustlos, lieblos heruntergedudelt in einem teils unverständlichen Deutsch.</p>
<p>Und das, obwohl er die Rolle des Lucheni schon in Wien über 200x gespielt hat sowie als Erstbesetzung in der Tournee verpflichtet ist. Ne, sorry, aber Herr Grassini geht nunmal gar nicht. Auch wenn`s ungerecht ist, aber da kann ich nur auf Serkan Kayas unglaubliche Darbietung in Wien 2005 hinweisen, die zu Recht auf DVD festgehalten ist. Live vor Publikum, versteht sich.</p>
<p>Jaaa, ich weiss, einige meiner Freunde werden mich wieder zerreissen, weil ich das Stück so zerpflücke, aber ich kann nicht anders. Seit ich selbst den Beruf ausübe, sehe ich v.a. Stücke, die ich so gut kenne, mit anderen Augen und vieles aus der technischen Perspektive: Wie lösen die Kollegen auf der Bühne diese Situation, wie singen sie, wie bringen sie den Text, was ist Inszenierung und was ist die eigene Interpretation der Rolle, etc.</p>
<p>Das hat nichts mit Besserwisserei zu tun, sondern mit einer konkreten Auseinandersetzung mit dem Stoff.</p>
<p>Und weil wir grad bei den Kollegen sind:</p>
<p>„Elisabeth“ ist ein nicht leicht zu singendes Musical, es erfordert von allen Sängern gute Techniken, viel Emotionen. Und es ist klar, dass eine solche Produktion, die 8x die Woche gespielt wird, Kraft und Energie braucht. Und diese muss man sich gut einteilen!</p>
<p>Ich selbst könnte mir nicht (mehr) vorstellen, Musical zu machen, würde ich es nicht durchhalten.</p>
<p>Aber es war schon sehr auffällig gestern (v.a. bei Herrn Grassini), dass sich die Hauptdarsteller stimmlich enorm geschont und zurückgehalten haben. Bis auf die drei, vier großen Nummern wurde nichts, aber auch gar nichts voll ausgesungen. Hätte man die Mikros abgedreht, wäre niemand auch nur über die Rampe gekommen. Und das finde ich schon erstaunlich.</p>
<p>Woran liegt es denn, Deutschland?!</p>
<p>In England oder Amerika erwartet man mind 100% Leistung am Abend. Die Darsteller werden nach ein paar Fehlleistungen einfach ausgetauscht und ersetzt. Sie singen jeden Abend, als wäre es Premiere und Derniere in einem. Jede Performance ist ein Versuch, seine eigene Leistung zu verbessern.</p>
<p>Und hierzulande kann man halt einfach so mal sagen „Ne, heut Abend sprech ich das Lied nur oder flüster vor mich hin“.</p>
<p>Bitte versteht mich nicht falsch: ich könnte diese Leistung im Gesang gar nicht erst bringen!</p>
<p>Und ich erwarte auch keine 150%. Aber wenn man das Gefühl als Zuschauer hat, man bekommt nur 70% Leistung für`s Geld, dann ist das etwas bitter.</p>
<p>Auf der professionellen Ebene hingegen kann ich es nur gut verstehen, weiß ich doch, wie anstrengend eine Dinnertheater-Vorstellung mit 150 Gästen ist, in einem Raum, der eine grauenvolle Akustik hat und man dann 4 Stunden spielen soll.</p>
<p>Aber genau diese Momente wie gestern regen mich zum Nachdenken an und beweisen wieder einmal, dass man auf der Bühne nicht einfach nur abliefern darf, sondern man muss den Moment genießen, auskosten und darf ihn nicht nur als „Job und dann Feierabend“ verstehen. Das Verständnis von Theater geht weit über die Anwesenheit auf der Bühne hinaus.</p>
<p>Liebe Frau Macura, falls Sie das hier irgendwie lesen sollten: Danke für eine gelungene Vorstellung. Es war eine Freude, Ihnen zuzusehen und Sie zu hören.</p>
<p>Fazit:</p>
<p>Für alle, die „Elisabeth“ nie live gesehen haben, bietet sich nun die Chance, das grandiose Werk von Kunze/Levay endlich einmal zu sehen. Es ist ein tolles Stück Musiktheater, die Inszenierung ist interessant und vielleicht nicht für jeden sofort verständlich, aber regt definitiv zu Nachdenken an.</p>
<p>Und wer sich auf „Elisabeth“ einlässt, wird sehen, dass Musical nicht nur „Andrew Lloyd Webber“ und „Cats“ bedeutet <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ik voel me echt goed. Dit wil zeggen, als ik ervoor zorg dat ik op tijd eet en s avonds op tijd in mijn bed kruip voel ik me super. Minder misselijk, meer energie, leve het tweede trimester!</p>
<p>Elisabethje daarentegen voelt zich wat minder. Maandag plots 39,5° koorts, wat voor een meisje dat bijna nooit koorts maakt wel veel is. Een serieuze virale infectie op de luchtwegen&#8230;<br />
Ondertussen is ze al heel wat beter, ze loopt weer vrolijk rond zonder koorts, dus morgen terug naar de creche.</p>
<p>Maar vandaag ben ik een dagje met verlof met een lieve dochter én met een kookwoede.<br />
De tomatensoep staat te pruttelen, ondertussen recepten aan het opzoeken met savooikool, nog eens een goeie 3 kilo tomaten in de ijskast die dringen opgebruikt moeten worden, kilo&#8217;s kastanjes te verwerken,&#8230;<br />
Ik ben dus op zoek naar nieuwe receptjes! Leve het internet!<br />
O ja en ik wil ook nog een appeltaart maken.<br />
En als avondseten een gehaktschotel met appeltjes en savooikool, mmmmmm.</p>

<description><![CDATA[BroadwayWorld recently published an interview with Michael Kunze about his musical adaptation of Reb]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>BroadwayWorld recently published <a href="http://westend.broadwayworld.com/article/BWW_INTERVIEWS_Writer_And_Interpreter_Michael_Kunze_20091002">an interview with Michael Kunze</a> about his musical adaptation of <em>Rebecca</em>, which is aiming for an English language transfer to the a major commercial centre like the West End or Broadway. Kunze takes great pains to try and distinguish his work from traditional Broadway fare, so let&#8217;s take what he says, put it under a microscope and see if it holds up. The boxed sections below are all quotations from the interview.</p>
<blockquote><p>The dramamusical is a tool to make clear that this is not a typical Broadway-type musical, which is more a musical-comedy. In what I do, we do drama with music. The way I write the shows is that I basically write the drama, of course with the music in mind, but the music is something that comes next, like a movie. The music is a very important element, but the most important element of the drama is the story, so the music really serves the story, and the music doesn&#8217;t really have a right in its own beside the story, like a number that is just made for the music and the dance.</p></blockquote>
<p>Huh? It seems that Mr Kunze hasn&#8217;t seen any musical since 1926. He doesn&#8217;t seem to be aware of &#8211; for example &#8211; <em>Show Boat</em>, <em>South Pacific</em>, <em>Sweeney Todd</em>, <em>Marie Christine</em>, <em>The Light in the Piazza</em>. He doesn&#8217;t seem to be aware that musical theatre in the American tradition extends beyond the tradition of musical comedy that was dominant until the 1940s, but which made way for the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical play, in which music is most certainly in the service of the drama and for the various forms of the concept musical, in which the music is often related most clearly to the ideas that are being communicated in the show from the very moment of its inception. Even if we look at the musical comedies that have appeared after the Rodgers and Hammerstein revolution, many are far more integrated than their counterparts in the 1920s and 1930s. So I&#8217;m left to wonder whether this is a case of ignorance or self-importance.</p>
<blockquote><p>It really isn&#8217;t something that I&#8217;ve invented. <em>Jesus Christ Superstar</em> [and] the other Andrew Lloyd Webber stuff, if you exclude <em>Cats</em>, follows the same kind of basic idea. Well, Andrew would never say that the music only serves the story, but that&#8217;s what it really is. He uses the music to tell the story, and that&#8217;s what all dramamusicals do.</p></blockquote>
<p>All right, so he seems to know something about British musical theatre and deems it of a high enough standard to rank alongside his &#8220;dramamusicals&#8221;. But is it true of Andrew Lloyd Webber&#8217;s musicals that the music serves the story? Without engaging in an elaborate discussion on the matter, I&#8217;d be willing to bet that there is at least one example in each of the Lloyd Webber musicals where the music does not serve the drama fully. Off the top of my head &#8211; and to keep in line with the example Kunze himself cites &#8211; there&#8217;s &#8220;King Herod&#8217;s Song&#8221; in <em>Jesus Christ Superstar</em>, although the newer, rock-flavoured arrangement does help its cause somewhat. So it seems that perhaps the music does not need a particularly profound dramatic agency for it to serve the drama in these &#8220;dramamusicals&#8221;, which of course contradicts Kunze&#8217;s original thesis, that &#8216;the music doesn&#8217;t really have a right in its own beside the story&#8217;. What other purpose does a song like &#8220;You Can Get Away With Anything&#8221; in <em>The Woman in White</em>, for example, have if it doesn&#8217;t really serve the character and the humour comes not from the lyrics but from a pair of rats that clamber in and out of the actor&#8217;s costume? Or is Kunze saying that the music in a case like this still serves a dramatic purpose, even though the song as a whole is a failure because of the lyrics?</p>
<blockquote><p>I think all the shows that concentrate on a dramatic story are dramamusicals. <em>Billy Elliot</em> is a dramamusical. <em>Wicked</em> is a dramamusical. I just want to distinguish where theatre is more theatrical than in a classical Broadway musical which is based on the vaudeville tradition, on dance, on spectacular things happening, and this is not what I look for&#8230;. I think (<em>Wicked</em> is) a milestone in the development of the musical, because in the history of the musical, this show will be regarded as the first one that really combines the European tradition with the Broadway tradition.</p></blockquote>
<p>Now I&#8217;m just beginning to chuckle. <em>Wicked</em> being taken as a prime example where the music exists in service of the drama? The book of <em>Wicked</em> was forced to fit in with Stephen Schwartz&#8217;s ideas regarding the way the story should be told. The book in its best moments is competent, but completely falls to pieces in the second act, completely ignoring the very concept that Maguire had in the first place: to fill in the gaps of the story behind <em>The Wonderful Wizard of Oz</em> without contradicting the basic mythology in that particular book in the series and its iconic movie musical adaptation and thereby offer a different perspective on the story. Winnie Holzman, spurred on by Schwartz, creates a story that prides itself in tying itself all up very neatly, but it does so with little sense of logic and the songs that punctuate the book become less and less credible as dramatic building blocks as we speed towards the final curtain. This doesn&#8217;t even begin to engage with ideas around the way the music is orchestrated, which separates it out even further from the given circumstances of the show. It doesn&#8217;t even work to access the show from the perspective of post-modern deconstruction, which is surely the very point of creating a musical of this nature, because the choices are so inconsistent &#8211; and in contradiction to Kunze&#8217;s view on the show, constructed around &#8220;spectacular things happening&#8221; rather than on any firm set of dramaturgical principles. Perhaps <em>Wicked</em> is a milestone, but it&#8217;s not one that develops musical theatre as an art form. In what is commercial, yes; in what is popular, sure. In what artistically successful and dramatically compelling; most certainly not. And I&#8217;m still not clear on what specifically European musical theatre traditions are incorporated into this hybrid form, but based on what Kunze has said about the &#8220;dramamusical&#8221;, I&#8217;m convinced they do more harm than good.</p>
<blockquote><p>I believe in drama as the key entertainment in theatre, and I think I&#8217;m not the only one who does. I didn&#8217;t even invent the name dramamusical, that was invented by a journalist. I just think it&#8217;s more European because I think the tradition of opera with the highly dramatic stories lent more to that kind of art-form, and I think that also our audiences in Europe, and I really include here in England, are more interested in going to theatre and have a real theatrical experience, a real emotional experience at last, not just an entertaining evening, but something they can discuss after the show.</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, at least Kunze displays some humility by admitting that he did not come up with the idea of a dramatically integrated musical. I wonder who the journalist who coined the term is; I&#8217;d love to have a look at what he has to say about this potent new musical theatre form he has identified&#8230;.</p>
<p>The comparison with opera that follows is not one that works for Kunze&#8217;s argument either. Opera by its nature is led by the music; it is music theatre rather than musical theatre and, as long as it is technically well-performed, opera often manages to be excused in its shortcomings as drama. This is, of course, a generalisation as there are operas, particularly those that are more contemporary that do integrate dramatic aspects more successfully into the theatrical whole and certainly even many traditional operas have a strong narrative and thematic thrust &#8211; but they are still led first and foremost by the music, hence the prominence of the composer and the conductor in any discussion of any opera.</p>
<p>Then we get to what effect Kunze believes a musical should have on its audience. In his eyes, musicals like <em>Wicked</em>, <em>The Phantom of the Opera</em> and his own shows offer a rare, real emotional experience that delivers a sense of enlightenment hitherto unseen in the musical theatre canon and one to which the American musical theatre tradition holds no claim. Clearly, he&#8217;s never heard of <em>Carousel</em>, <em>Cabaret</em> or <em>Pacific Overtures</em>. Obviously, there is no such experience to be had in <em>Camelot</em>, <em>Follies</em>, <em>Fiddler on the Roof</em>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never really engaged with Kunze&#8217;s musicals, but his work must be truly phenomenal if it is what he implies they are: impeccable examples of musicals in which all other elements are in service to the drama. I must get my hands on <em>Elisabeth</em>, <em>Tanz der Vampire</em> or this impending masterpiece of the musical stage, <em>Rebecca</em>, and see for myself &#8211; but they had better live up to the high expectations that Kunze has created for them&#8230;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Oh my heart is happy. Can&#8217;t have Gene by my side? Well, Dungeons and Dragons it is then! (No worries, D&#38;D can never fully replace you. ;D ) Today I truly got into the spirit of D&#38;D. And oh how wonderful it was. I had not been surrounded by D&#38;D in so long, it was nice to come back to it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve begun writing a story about an elf. Named her Tathian like my character, though it&#8217;s not the same elf. I just like that name. Got a bit more than two pages written. Not a lot, I know, but it&#8217;s a work in progress. Gives me something to do when the internet decides it hates me. I also <strong>finally</strong> wrote the story of how Tathian met Kadros. I like how it turned out and I hope you guys do too. So go check out the wiki. We gotta start updating it more, ya know, keep the game alive.</p>
<p>And then, Elisabeth and I discussed the idea of me being a DM. W00t. I&#8217;m already thinking about the adventures the players could have. It&#8217;s going to be wonderful (even though Gene said it&#8217;s not all it&#8217;s cracked up to be. Party pooper).</p>
<p>Oh how I love Dungeons and Dragons. How can one not enjoy that game? The fantasy, the adventure, the role play, everything. And no, it&#8217;s not Satan&#8217;s spawn or a cult. How medieval to think that.</p>

<p>O allerliebstes Eichhorn!<br />
Schon lang steh&#8217; ich vor deinem,<br />
Dir unbequemen Käfig,<br />
Und kann nicht satt mich sehen<br />
An deinen raschen, holden<br />
Bewegungen und Spielen.<br />
Ich möchte gern dich streicheln,<br />
Doch fürcht&#8217; ich deine Zähne,<br />
So scharf, so fein, wie Nadeln.<br />
Nicht ich fürwahr, o Eichhorn,<br />
Hab&#8217; dich in dies Gefängniß<br />
Gesperrt; ich säh&#8217; viel lieber<br />
Dich auf den hohen Gipfeln<br />
Der nahen Bäume hüpfen<br />
Mit Vögeln in die Wette.<br />
Ich möchte gern dein Nest sehn<br />
Mit seinen bald geschloßnen,<br />
Bald offnen Thüren, daß ja<br />
Kein rauher Wind die zarten,<br />
Noch unbedeckten Kinder<br />
Mit kaltem Hauch berühre.<br />
O glücklich Thier! Bewohner<br />
Von zweien Elementen!<br />
Die Erde beut zur Nahrung<br />
Auf niedrigen Gesträuchen<br />
Die Fülle dir der Früchte<br />
Und klaren Thau auf Blättern;<br />
Und deine Freuden findest<br />
Du auf der Eiche Gipfel<br />
Im hohen Reich der Lüfte.</p>
<p>(Elisabeth Kuhlmann)</p>
