Speculation: Kiriyan's Grand Theatre debut

[masahi]

There's been quite a bit of speculation going on about what Kiriyan's Grand Theatre debut will be as Top Star. A lot of people are whispering about The Scarlet Pimpernel.

This may have just been given a little more credence given the fact Frank Wildhorn is going to be in Japan in March 2010, just about when rehearsals for Tsukigumi's show get under way. He is mostly going to be there for a concert/show featuring Aran Kei and Mate Kamaras, previously performed by Ichiro Maki and Uwe Kroeger. However, I do wonder if his main motive is to see another of his shows Zukafied.

It's known that Kiriyan loves Wildhorn shows, and her favourite is Jekyll and Hyde. It's only speculation, but wouldn't be it be awesomesauce to see her do that role? Also, it's a good show for Tsuki at the moment, since it has no set top Musume, so if they still haven't decided, they can test out people against her. Plus, multiple male roles as support.

Thoughts? :)

Yesssssssss... more Pimpernel would be GOOD!

They're doing a new DIVA show?

[masahi]

Not DIVA. There was a small show they did with a Wildhorn semi-musical based on the romance of a Japanese woman and a European man in the 19th century :)

Ah yes, I think I've heard about that one too. I was somewhat dubious about that being a DIVA show, because... well, Touko is good, but I doubt she reached Ichiro's status in Japan in such a short time. (No offence intended, of course... there's still plenty of time for her to do so.) Still... MATE! XD

Touko is epic compared with Maki, from the sound of it. Her final crowd numbered around 10,000 people, from reports :)

They're also years apart, and I think the younger you are, the more fans (and generations of fans) you're likely to attract. Especially in Japan. ^^;;; At any rate, Touko/Mate is a great thing!

I love the fact Touko was in Maki's sayonara show :)
