Ok, I read around a grapevine that Toho is reviving their Elisabeth as well! www.tohostage.com/elizabeth08_09/cast.htmlThe roles are double cast with 2 former Takarazuka Stars: Suzukaze Mayo(Lady Oscar from "Rose Of Versailles", Marie Antoinette from MA) and Asami Hikaru (Lady Oscar from last years revival of "Rose Of Versailles", Lucifer from "Lucifer's Tears") and Sophie is double cast by 2 former Takarazuka Actresses from the 1970's: Hatsukaze Jun (Marie Antoinette from the 1970's "Rose Of Versailles") Kotobuki HizuruThe First Tod is Shinji Takeda, the Second Cast is Yuichiro Yamaguchi(YAAAY!!!) And Rudolf is Kenji Urai(YAAAY!!!) |

This means that most certainly Yuichiro Yamaguchi won't be in Rebecca as Maxim. GRR!
And I must say Shinji Takeda looks a little to gay with that costume...not exactly the tipe of guy who would be interested in Sissi nor she in him. Sophie on the other hand looks great...if Sophie is the old woman with the crown.

Isn't Asami Hikaru the Cosmos Rudolf? I adore her! Wheeee! Would love to find out what she's like as Sisi. *bouncesquees* Hey, I like the way Shinji Takeda looks. Way better looking than Yamaguchi, at least *shudders*. But yay for no Yamaguchi!Maxim, if you ask me. |

Yeah that's great news about the Toho revival.
Shinji Takeda! lol The guy is shorter than Maki Ichiro and has to wear the thickest heels to make up for it! But yay for Kenji Urai as Rudolf, and Yuichiro Yamaguchi as Der Tod (even though I still think he's getting old for that role). I'm sure this doesn't mean Yamaguchi won't be in Rebecca.

lol I knew if someone would like the looks of Shinji Takeda, that one would be Valancy!  As for Yuichiro as Maxim, Marielle, I think it reduces the chances. Rebecca opens in April and Elisabeth in Autumn, so around September/October. Now, or Rebecca runs for just a very short time, or I think Yuichiro would be exausted jumping from production to production as leading character...as you said...he's getting old. (tough I would prefer to see him as Maxim instead of reprising his role of Tod). About Shinji Takeda...if he is that small...lets hope the girl playing Sissi is even smaller...other wise we will have the first midget-Tod |

*laughs* What, have I acquired a reputation for my taste in men's looks? Hum, shorter than Maki Ichiro, now that might present a problem. Hopefully the Sisis aren't very tall then. Well, it's not like Death always has to be terribly tall. I don't think Máté looks any taller than Maya, and the Finnish Death wasn't very tall either, and I also don't think Tamás Mester, the original Hungarian leading Death, was very tall either. Though probably they all were taller than Maki. *is still squeeful about Asami Hikaru as Elisabeth* By the way, why is the name Kenji Urai familiar to me? I mean, I know I've heard of him previously, probably in connection to the Toho Elisabeth, but I can't remember if he's on any particular recording or something. I'm just wondering if I already know what he's like or not. |

Must have been related to that that I've heard the name, then (I just couldn't figure out where I'd have heard a Japanese male actor's name before except in people talking about Toho Elisabeth casts). Thanks! Nice voice, I can definitely imagine him as Rudolf.  |

I think you may have heard Kenji Urai's name because he was one of the Alfreds in last year's Toho production of Tanz der Vampire. |

Oh, that would make sense! Yes, it must be that how I'd run into his name earlier. |
