Join us in congratulating @pattimurin & @colindonnell on winning Best Recording, Commercial for their album “Something Stupid” at the 2023 Broadway World Cabaret Awards!

“Something Stupid is a marvel of technical achievement... filled with marvelous music and all the feels; it’s an impressive debut album.” - @officialbroadwayworld

Broadway’s golden couple Colin Donnell (Songs for a New World) and Patti Murin (Frozen) team for their first album together, “Something Stupid.” Featuring an eclectic cross-section of music running the gamut of musical theatre, pop, rock, country and folk, and featuring songs by Sara Bareilles, Bruce Springsteen, Jason Robert Brown, Paul Simon and more.

Recorded during the pandemic with the couple engineering their own vocals, “Something Stupid” is an intimate album of searching, longing, and finding love.

Chapter 5: Unexpected

Aaron must have seen the post on my Instagram!

Because there it was, he did it! Aaron started following me on Instagram. I freaked out a little bit when I saw the notification.

After a little panick attack I decided to follow him back on Instagram. I know crazy right? I didn't even follow him in the first place.

I know it was weird but I started feeling things. I couldn't be feelings for him already. That was way to early. I just knew the guy for one day.

I decided to put my phone away, get cosy in bed. I took my book and started reading a few chapters. After 30 minutes I felt myself getting tired.

I put my book down and turned off the lights in the bedroom. Soon after I fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up. The sun was shining through the windows. The weather looked great outside! So I got out of bed and into the shower. I turned on some music on my phone, the castalbum of Moulin Rouge The Musical! While I showered I sang along to the songs. After I showered I got dressed and went into the kitchen to make breakfast and some coffee. I sat down at my table and took my phone. I unlocked it and it left me shocked. I couldn't believe what I saw.

After the fact that Aaron started following me on Instagram last night, he had also send me a message on there.

Aaron Tveit:

Hey Sophie, I just wanted to say that I loved meeting you at the park, the coffeeshop and seeing you enjoy the show.

I hope it wasn't to awkward I invited you backstage after.

Aaron

It was such a sweet message! So thoughtful and nice.

I thought about it for a minute, but then decided to reply. It was the least I could do after what he did for me and Melissa.

Sophie Wilson:

Hi Aaron, so sweet of you to send me a message. You clearly didn't have to. I think it was great to meet you too. And the show was amazing! I was so mindblown I did not say it to you yesterday. And it was nice of you to invite us backstage. We enjoyed it very much!

Sophie

After I had send the message I ate breakfast and drank my coffee. I washed my dishes and thought of going for a run. The weather was perfect and I needed to clear my mind a little.

So I put on my running gear and went outside. I ran 4k and got back to my house. I showered for the second time that day and after I sat on my couch. I was going to watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S when Melissa called me.

"Hey Soph, how are you?" She asked.

"Hi Lis, I'm fine! Just went for a run and now I was going to watch tv." I responded.

"Oh you already had a hell of a morning then!"

"Is there a reason why you are calling?" I asked Melissa. If Melissa called it could be two things. Or she was bored and just wanted to talk, or she had something on her mind.

"Yeah I noticed something on Instagram and just wanted to know if it was true."

At that moment I knew she was talking about.

"It's true Lis, he started following me on Instagram and then I followed him back."

"Do you know how lucky you are?" Melissa asked. "He never follows anyone on Instagram."

"Well Lis, I met him yesterday and it's not just like I'm one of those fans. I mean I am a fan, but I didn't know it was him before you told me who he was." I said.

Melissa was silent for a bit at the other end of the line.

"I still think you are lucky." She said quickly.

"I have to go Soph, talk to you later?"

"Talk to you later Lis, I love you."

Then we both hung up the phone.

After I hung up I saw a new Instagram notification. It was Aaron again who had send me a message.

Aaron Tveit:

Sophie? I know we've technically already done this but.. do you want to get coffee with me sometime?

okay ich hab grad mark seiberts "einladung zum ball" gehört und es war tatsächlich besser als ich erwartet hab. der track von einladung zum ball vom castalbum auf spotify mit thomas borchert hat den ganzen dialog hinten dran, nicht nur das song, was nervig ist für meine "gute tanz der vampire songs" playlist, ich wollte also sehen, ob ich den track mit durch einen anderen ersetzten konnte, deswegen hab ich das mit mark seibert gehört.

er schafft es tatsächlich, etwas dunkler und schwerer zu klingen, als in anderen rollen. ich mag ihn eig ganz gut als der tod elisabeth, aber graf von krollock braucht halt ne andere stimme, und das bekommt er gar nicht schlecht hin

thomas borchert bleibt aber der beste. sorry mark

Elisabeth das Musical: The Japanese Productions, Takarazuka and Toho

Plot Summary: The musical opens with Luigi Lucheni, our narrator, being judged in the underworld for killing Elisabeth, the empress of Austria. He says that Death wanted him to do it, and that she wanted to die because she was in love with Death. The musical goes back in time and Lucheni narrates Elisabeth's life and we see her from age 16 to 60. Her obsession with death grows as her mental health declines, as Death falls in love with her and tries to convince her to kill herself so they can be together. The musical deals with mental health issues and also has multiple main LGBT+ characters.

For anyone not familiar with the musical, above is the summary of the plot. The summary of the life of the musical is it premiered in 1992 in Austria in the German language. There have been two Austrian revivals since in 2003 and 2012, and constant new productions in Germany, Hungary, Japan, Sweden, the Netherlands, Czechia, Switzerland and South Korea.

I would highly recommend watching the original 1992 Vienna production and the 2006 Vienna revival, both are on Youtube with English subtitles.

In Japan there are two different theatre troupes who have been performing productions of Elisabeth for over 20 years. Takarazuka is a theatre troupe of only female performers who play both the female and male roles. They don’t change the male characters into women, they essentially crossdress and perform as men, just as the female character of Edna Turnblad in the musical Hairspray is always played by a man. They had their first production of Elisabeth in 1996 and a few new songs were added for that production. There are the main casts but also every production has one night where junior stars of the troupe perform in the lead roles. These are called shinjin kouen or ‘Shinko’ casts. Toho is a mixed-gender theatre troupe who first performed the musical in 2000. It’s common in Japan for musicals to have pro-shots and DVDs so all the links to videos below are the official videos, not bootlegs. There are no official English subtitles provided for Takarazuka or Toho’s DVD releases, but some fans make their own subtitles that you can download and to play you’ll need video playing program like VLC in that can separately load up videos and subtitle files to play at the same time. You can also look on CastAlbums which is a great website that documents all musical albums and videos you can see lists of every CD and DVD release for Elisabeth here. 

Please support the musicals! You can purchase the DVDs and CDs new from https://www.soundofmusic-shop.de/ and you can find them new and second-hand on Ebay and Yahoo Auctions Japan (there’s a lot of other Takarazuka and Toho merch on Yahoo Auctions, but you will need to use a proxy shipping server. I personally use ZenMarket).

Under the read more is links to info on each production as well as links to where you can watch them and download audios and English subtitles.
