Thanks! That's great news indeed I might get the chance to catch Elisabeth in Munich.

And after Frankfurt, Elisabeth will premiere on January 18th 2010 in Bremen Theater.

Well, it seems like Elisabeth has been bitten by Graf von Krolock because this awful staging will. not. die.

I just wonder how is it possible German people haven't got sick of the show after all these years being staged and restaged...
I'm already sick of it and I just know it for what...3/4 years?

Is it maybe drawing in enough fans and tourists to keep going? I always found it interesting how bigger professional productions seem to quickly reopen in other cities. Makes me think of German theatre as being more like the regional theatre in the US, but I am not sure if that's an accurate comparison.

Hmm.. I guess I know Elisabeth since about 14 years, so I think that there might be some crazy guys who still are interested in the show even though it's been in Germany for quite a long time Also, people usually only go to watch musicals in their own city. So if the show was playing in Essen, there were not a lot of people from Frankfurt who went to see the show, I guess. The audience consists not just of musical nerds

Nene: Yes, or even like a national tour in the US or UK - people see what's 'in town' and probably are more likely to see it if it comes in as having been a smash somewhere else in the country. Andreas: I've been in love with the show myself for going on 8 years. In all these years, I've only ever really been totally disinterested in it for one small period of time and it turned out I was actually quite ill then. So, if I'm not loving the show (though I may not be listening to it constantly), I know there's something wrong with me Exedore: It's gotta be that it's cheap because it certainly isn't the glowing reviews. I'd rather see them tour it with the cast in drag (and I don't mean the Takarazuka version) than this garbage.

They just go 'cause they're used to it.

Unless they're like me and hopelessly in love with seeing PotO live. I find there's something special about attending a performance of Phantom (especially at the Majestic.) But, of course, I'm a total theatre dork and not one the fanny-pack crowd that makes up 95% of the audience some days, so I'm really not a good example .

In the case of Broadway, I think POTO's biggest draw is tourists.
