Did you write down a review for Stuttgart 2021? Asking mostly out of curiosity, no worries if you didn't ;)

Ahh I did actually, thanks for asking, it was one of my first proper euromusical original posts!!! And I actually liked it a lot more back then than I do based on recordings now, which is a bit embarrassing! :D

I was so full of excitement for actually getting to see the show - my first euroshow - IRL for the first time (plus also coming from a somewhat different mindset re: the show, I wasn't such a complete hardline main character Alfred / bisexual Alfred / Alfred x Sarah stan and truther yet also I was still shipping herbert and alfred - as i started to do upon first viewing as a teenager in 2016 - and have since been completely turned off from that lol). So the review is actually mostly very positive... I do remember having serious misgivings about the particular Sarah even as I was watching it.

The experience as a whole is still fondly remembered though, partly because the ticket prices were actually more manageable at that time and I sat in the middle of row 6 (arguably very best seat, sadly no audience interaction because covid!) in Stuttgart for about the same price I now sat at row 15 in Hamburg lol. Also I visited Bamberg, Nürnberg and Heidelberg on that trip and they were so cool, historic and pretty in the autumn colors (lol word doesn't quite exist in English, I mean the Finnish ruska) that back then I quickly began to seriously think about what it might be like to go live/study in Germany... and look at what happened two years later >:))

Anyway, here's the review:
