A sentence that I cannot say among my musical circle because I'd be bullied immediately: European musicals are ten times better than Broadway ones 😔

Flesh in the fruit and blood in the wine

I don't want anything if the whole world isn't mine

I can't believe it's finally finished! After 8 months of work I am glad to present you, ladies and gentleman my 17th century men's costume. It's made out of satin and trimmed with lace, which was sewn on by hand. The wig was also styled by me.

Le Roi Soleil. Le Roy de France, Louis XIV

"My Light with its force illuminated the heretic. Suddenly, It chased away the fogs of Calvin: Not by a Divine Zeal, But in order to hide my fragile Policy"

Jacob Gole, 1691

This artwork was produced in 1691 as part of a satirical series titled "Les Héros de la Ligue ou la Procession Monacale".

This series comprises caricatures of figures involved in the repression of French Protestants following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.

incorrect versailles quotes #1

random courtier: I heard that Madame de Maintenon…

Louis: You are BANISHED from Versailles!

Philippe: I hate your new wife.

Louis: That’s all right, brother. I still love you.

La comédie musicale Le Roi Soleil fête son retour en France.

- Reverie -

Running from this reality

Cursed by heavy burden of mortality

No chance of going back

Fear of loosing my track

No matter how lost

My heart will always belong to this ghost

Emmanuel, with his gorgeous voice, as Louis XIV, my beloved. what a beautiful performance. it was such a pleasant surprise when I was at Mylene Farmer's concert in Bercy & then I saw a familiar face and couldn't register it for a couple of seconds. until, finally, I realised that it was him & left my place in the first row and followed him while he smiled and waved. yeah, that was a lot. even remembering this makes me smile so much. he was quite a sweet sunshine & i couldn't believe my luck.

then Christophe as Philippe, my other love, comes out on stage. god, I nearly went to his concert in France in, what, 2013? 2014? was sad for quite a while that it didn't happen 'cause his album that year was a perfection. every single song on Je veux du bonheur was p e r f e c t. i adore his voice.

and Ça Marche? perfect in every way. the fact that they engages Louis in this? yeah, I was a bit obsessed with the royal brothers back in the day & the idea of it still makes me happy. i can even imagine watching this live. that must have been an experience & I'm sad they, after all, didn't relieve it the way they did with MLOR with their concert version. i'd pay to watch LRS live without a blink of an eye (because really, the quality of recording this musical? is a crime against humanity.)

the chemistry Emmanuel and Christophe have in this, the amount of jokes that went into this. i love it. i love it so much. Louis trying to hug his brother while his brother is being Like That. sunshines.

my!! beloved!!

Donc là vous me dites qu'en mars je vais pouvoir entendre Cécilia et Damien chanter "Aimer" et qu'en décembre je vais pouvoir voir Emmanuel reprendre son rôle dans le Roi Soleil et l'entendre chanter "Être à la hauteur" et "je fais de toi mon essentiel" ??!!!!!!!
