In late 2008 I discovered the recast of the Japanese production of Tanz der Vampire. With Urai Kenji reprising his role as Alfred, I had to get tickets to watch. Despite the scare of H1N1, I found myself back at the Imperial Theater, where I watched Elisabeth in 2008.

Cast List

This year, the double cast was only for Sara and Alfred.

Count Krolock: Yamaguchi Yuichiro
Sarah: Chinen Rina
Professor Abronsius: Ishikawa Zen
Alfred: Urai Kenji
Herbert: Yoshino Keigo
Koukol: Komada Hajime

Three of the names, Yamaguchi, Ishikawa and Urai, might seem familiar, but that’s because I watched them as Death, Franz Joseph and Rudolf in Elisabeth in 2008.

Also, I had extremely good seats: 1st floor, aisle seat, first row of the final middle section. Tanz saw the actors using the audience area for various scenes, so I had a good look at most of them.

Blog died. Um. Yeah maybe I should do something about this. shjdlkaj.

Um, Japan trip in July = Tanz der Vampire = Urai Kenji = reviews?

And I’m meeting a friend from Canada at the same time! We’ll probably be heading on to watch Tenimyu together, and there goes a good $100 just like that. Poof.

I’ll think about what to do with this domain… It doesn’t expire ’til 2011!!!
