Dinge, die ich gerne Graf von Krolock fragen würde (teilweise nur um ihn zu nerven oder verwirren)

Lieber Herr Graf…

Frage 1: Können Vampire nach Afrika reisen? I mean, someone blessed the rains down in Africa?

Frage 2: Warum Knoblauch? Hätte es eigentlich auch Rein theoretisch jedes andere Gemüse sein können? Sellerie zum Beispiel (ein bisschen anspitzen und die funktionieren auch ganz gut als Pflock, also Stangensellerie)

Frage 3: Snacken sie jedes Jahr ein anderes Sternenkind weg oder war Sarah etwas besonderes?

Frage 4: Beißt man sich mit den spitzen Reißzähnchen eigentlich nicht auch mal auf die Zunge?

Frage 5: Wie machen sie das in der heutigen Zeit mit Ausweispapieren und so? Umgehen sie Kontrollen mithilfe ihrer vampirischen Fähigkeiten oder fälschen sie Regelmäßig wichtige Ausweisdokumente um nicht aufzufallen?

Frage 6: Bedürfen ihre Reißzähne bestimmter Zahnpflege?

Frage 7: Da ja die Spiegel heutzutage nicht mehr mit Silber bearbeitet sind, müssten sie ja eigentlich ihr Spiegelbild wieder sehen können oder ist das immer noch so ein Vampir Ding?

Frage 8: Wissen sie dass Vampire auch oftmals als Metapher für HIV gesehen werden?

Frage 9: Wie halten sie ihre Haare bitte so schön Knötchenfrei?

Frage 10: Wo zum Geier bekommen sie bitte schön diese coolen Gothic/Vintage/Royalcore Klamotten her? Bestellen sie etwa auch bei EMP oder Killstar?

God, what I wouldn't give to have a sexy vampire count (this one in particular) whisper in my ear seductively and then wrap me up in his cape... 🤤👌🏻😳💕

Musical questions! 28, 29, 30?

[To celebrate 400 followers I'm finally answering all these from my drafts :D]

28. What's a musical that you saw ages ago that you're still not over? What about it made you love it so much?

If watching a video counts as "seeing": Tanz der Vampire. I saw posters and ads on the street for the Helsinki 2016 production... but that was after it was already over, in April/May!!!!! I was so curious about it but forgot after the initial wondering. Then that summer I went to a two-week language camp/course in the UK (my first time abroad without parents!) where we were singing Total Eclipse in the music room and an older "camp counsellor" girl from Germany told us it's actually from a musical, and that night I took it as my sign to look it up and ended up watching sooo many clips on YouTube over and over for the rest of my time at that course, and eventually the whole 2005 proshot with English subs.

Something about it spoke to me in a way no other musical had before - I mean, I had liked POTO for years, that summer I also started listening to Hamilton, but neither of those rattled in my head to the same obsessive degree as TdV did <3

It came into my life at a special time, has come and gone since, and whenever I get back to it, it still hits the hardest out of any show I've ever watched. Whether it be the epic orchestral rock score (I'm not like an über Steinman fan but I like his stuff), the level of emotion (some would say melodrama <3) and the way the show itself has come to symbolise a lot of things to me over the years (freedom to leave an environment you're not happy in and remaking your life elsewhere; freedom to be yourself and go after what you want even if it goes against what's conventional or societally acceptable; the world belonging "to the shameless and the wicked" and the rest of us just having to roll with it). So yeah >:)

I've now seen TdV live three times: once in Stuttgart in autumn 2021, and twice in Hamburg this summer (2024). It wasn't perfect but it meant a lot :') I've also met Aris Sas and he liked my headcanons and hot takes, and wished me the best in my life and my studies 😭🙏

29. What's a musical that you used to really like but don't anymore? What made you fall out of love with it?

I think I'm falling out of love with Wicked!! It was one of the first shows I saw live (back in Finland) and that production left a lasting impression on me, but after seeing it in London twice (heheh) I think I'm satiated :') I will still want to see the movie though! I probably just won't have the energy to engage that much with the hot takes it will probably spawn kslsls. Plus I hate the discourse that the movie is stirring up about how the book is better and that should've been a movie instead dkkdldls. I think the book is kind of terrible and takes itself too seriously. Plus the sex scenes are bad bad bad bad....

Anyway - still like the musical, I think I have just overlistened to it and I don't usually find too much to "chew on" in the fandom space :D Especially since I don't know/care about Wizard of Oz lore 😭

30. What's a musical that's grown on you since you first saw it or listened to it? What made you appreciate it more?

Rudolf: Affaire Mayerling.......... I still think it's terrible but I keep making friends with people who know that it's inaccurate (and don't really care about defending its honor skkskd) and still love it for being camp 😭 I used to have a very negative view of it but now I can just listen to Du bleibst bei mir on repeat, enjoy wholeheartedly and pretend it's the whole show 😌 obligatory mention that I met and took a pic with Wietske at the Les Mis München stagedoor this year 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏

So like..sorry if this is a dumb question but like when some actors perform as krolock in Бал Вампиров they speak German when the entire other cast just speaks Russian? Like what is up with that? What’s the reaction to that I mean- Is the German a common language in Russia? I can’t comprehend

German has only been sung in the Russian productions of Tanz der Vampire (Бал Вампиров / Bal Vampirov) during special guest appearances. In 2018-2019 three of the actors who had played Graf von Krolock in Germany had guest appearances in the 2019 St Petersburg production: Mark Seibert, Thomas Borchert and Drew Sarich. These actors do not speak any Russian and where only in Russia for a short time for these guest performances and the decision was made for then to just keep singing in German rather than have them learn the Russian lyrics. I don't know why that decision was made, as when Ivan Ozhogin (one of the Russian Krolocks) has perfomed as Krolock in Berlin 2013 and Köln/Cologne 2016, they had him learn it in German despite him not speaking any German. The Russian fans of TDV seem very passionate and there are sizable Russian fangroups for Seibert, Borchert and Sarich, so they were actually very excited to see the German Krolocks perform. They all have done successful solo tours over there and musical concerts. I think Sarich has been over there touring the most, performing on his own and teaming up with Ivan Ozhogin for the 'Brothers in Music' tours. I can't say whether they would have preferred them to sing in Russian, but I don't think they were put off by the German. And no, German is not a language commonly spoken in Russia. If I have my dates right, Sarich was in St Petersburg TDV in Jan-Feb 2019, Borchert was there in June, and Seibert was there in May 2018. It is not something that usually happens. They may return again in the future to guest star in the Russian production.

Love the pictures!! The ones on the balcony turned out great 😍👌🏻

Yesterday I had the honor to be at the Derniere of TdV. It was a very nice last show. In addition, I could walk along the central aisle and met many nice people. Thanks for that!

[nekotato]

hi. so this is an insane ask to send you but. i have never seen anything of tdv except 1) you posting about it all the time <3 and 2) a clip i remember watching of it a few months ago . but i had a dream that i went to germany and watched stex in real life and for some reason they had a preshow that was just... a scene from tdz? like a full scene and at the end they were like "that was cool, right? now it's time for starlight express" and everything went on as normal

ASHGSSDBAHH hi ricky!! it may be insane but it brings me so much joy <3 Wait was it the clip you watched or did your brain make up a whole new scene?? If yes, write it down and send it to the theater asap
