Casting - For Whom the Bell Tolls

[masahi]

So, a few weeks ago, I posted this:

I would love to see Kacha snag Rafael, the Gypsy rogue, who gets to sing in the camp. I have a suspicion that it might go to Tomochin, though. If Kacha gets Rafael or Joaquin (teen rebel who wanted to be a bullfighter), I would be more than happy.

I am clearly more than happy :) Plus, Tomochin as the singing gypsy = good.

However, I am also saddened by the news that Hoshihara Misao is retiring. I love Hoshi, and I was overjoyed when I heard I would be able to see her live this trip. And what a role for her to go out on. Maybe Pablo won't be as central as he was in the books, but since 'the Mayor' is mentioned, I really hope we get the flashbacks to young!Pablo before PTSD kicks in.

On the whole, though, am very pleased with the casting.

Hoshi-san's retirement is sort of clouding over the casting news right now. I'm very sad to see her leave. She's one of my favorites. And there won't be any neat memorial goodies, since she isn't a Top Star, which makes it even more sad. Hopefully, since she's been in the Revue for so long, Hankyuu will do something nice for her. Now I'm definitely adding this to the DVD list, though, since I'll want her last performance.

She is my favorite Max in all the Elisabeths, and she got to play it twice!

She was the Max I wanted as my dad, when I saw her in the Tsuki one. She's just so wonderfully, gently benevolent, with a glint in her eyes. I loved her in Seal of Roses as well.
