That One Reference to That One Musical In Lies of P (that I think only I noticed)
Yeah you heard me.
Aside from the multitude of Pinocchio characters that litter the entirety of Krat, there's also a few other characters that are a reference to other things if you look hard enough. Veningi and his references to Batman, Giango and his reference to an actual famous alchemist - so on and so forth.
But there's one particular pair I don't see get mentioned in that list and would like talk about more:
The Red Actress and The White Lady
(spoilers below cut)
So first off there's actually two references between these characters - a reference to a musical AND a reference to a fairy tale - but since I said musical in the title I'll start off there.
Before we can reach the King of Puppets at the Estella Opera House, we have to brawl our way through Rosa Isabelle Street which is connected to Hotel Krat. If you roam around a bit, you get to encounter one of the fanciest Stalker bosses that wander the formerly entertaining street - The White Lady.
And no, her name is not Karen, but we'll learn that eventually.
Apart from being a difficult boss encounter and having the coolest outfit and mask EVER, her voice lines reveal early on that she is the sister of the famous Adelina Corday, the Red Actress. Given how devastating the Puppet Frenzy has been for every party involved, it's unsurprising that she takes her frustration and grief out on every puppet she comes across as it's likely her sister has perished to the hands of said puppets. Her locket even shows how close they were, wishing to share the stage of their dreams alongside each other.
Or so we presume.
After fighting our way through the streets we can finally reach the Opera House and encounter Adelina herself, tucked away in a side hall attempting to sing a song with her petrified throat and apologize to a woman named "Patricia". From there you can take on her last request - to feed her a plump apple full of juice to quench her thirst and restore her parched throat (using the Red Apple you can purchase from Polendina after finding a Krat Supply Box).
If you don't find her prior to fighting the King of Puppets, however, you only find her dead body lying on the ground with a locket containing a torn portrait of a girl and a scratched out name. Finding her prior to the fight will reward you her record "Fascination" along with said locket.
Now if you guys aren't getting the musical references yet (The White Lady's white mask, this Actress, and the ghastly theater with a swinging Chandelier prior to entering the King's boss arena) they're a nod to the Phantom of the Opera musical. However, Adelina's not a reference to the protagonist, Christine Daae -- she's actually a reference to Daae's rival, the Prima Donna Carlotta.
See, the characters Christine Daae and Carlotta were actually based on two real opera singers who also shared a rivalry: Christina Nilsson (left) as Christine Daae and -- wait for it -- Adelina Patti (right) as Carlotta Giudicelli who, in some adaptations, wore red as her main color.
The reason that's so important is because when you complete her quest, Adelina in the game asks that we listen to her final confession before she dies: while striving for stardom her jealousy provoked her to get rid of her biggest rival by tricking her into drinking poison that would ruin her throat and prevent her from singing for good:
Patricia Corday, her sister, whom she is uncertain about the fate of given that she is unable to leave the Opera House.
Well, we know what happens.
We kill her prior to arrival, not as Patricia Corday but as the White Lady.
Yeah. Kinda messed up ;-;
So now aside from being the angelic singer who could have become "The White Goddess" according to one of her fans, The White Lady has become the Phantom of the Opera herself as she is unable to show her face on stage due to the lack of singing voice after being poisoned. Or you could argue Adelina became the Phantom as she's the one who dies alone in the Opera House. Either way, both sisters suffer a horrible fate apart from each other, with neither knowing what happened to the other.
Speaking of sisters, guess what fairy tale involves a pair of color coded sisters written by the Grimm brothers:
Snow White and Rose Red
Now I know the two aren't related to the other Snow White fairy tale (also written by the Grimm bros) but given how much crossover references are in Lies of P it doesn't surprise me Neowiz decided to merge the two stories together so bear with me.
The sisters can fill in each other's roles as Snow White (The White Lady) and Rose Red (The Red Actress), but the rest of their story follows the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarves:
Adelina, the jealous sister, tricks Patricia into drinking poison that ruins the source of her charm the same way the jealous step mother tricks Snow White into eating a poisonous apple so she can be the prettiest person on the planet. Ironically, Adelina is the one who perishes after eating an apple - petrified and frozen by the disease, while Patricia became her own Prince by becoming a Stalker after her voice became ruined.
It's a loose reference, sure, but honestly it's a pretty cool one nonetheless!
I'm really looking forward to all the other references the game devs decide to hide in Lies of P (heck I didn't even put together Champion Victor being a Frankenstein reference or Murphy the Robo Cop boss), along with maybe future games they have in store (I see you Rise of P ending I know).
But I'll end my thoughts here for now! Check out the game yourself if you ever get the chance, it's SO worth it!!

My favourite Vinsmoke actors from the One Piece live stage show and Sanji Restaurant in Universal Studios Japan.
That one particular Niji performer does his act so SO good, it's just straight up unhinged madness. He tries to kick away staff members (it's just acting, of course), turned up his nose at fans who were waving at him (the fans love it), and even when just standing and posing he does it in a way where it looks like he's up to bad stuff.
I always joke that it's really just Niji who found a portal to the real world.
Also, this Ichiji always does his gestures with so much intensity and drama, I can usually tell it's him even if the face is blurry or not visible. The other Ichiji actors kind of leans more on a "cool and calm" sort of act, but this guy is just fire 🔥🔥
It could be all just unfortunate timing since Universal forbids the posting of videos. Maybe the other actors actually does dramatic flairs too, but the photos just don't show it, but the impression I got from the photos that were there.
According to the cast list his name is Uno, which is so funny. I know it's just a Japanese surname, but still.
And then Yonji. This one guy is tall and has muscle, so he gets to actually go around showing off and flexing his arms at the visitors. It also makes it 10000x more vibe when he does the "AAAAAAH CUTE GIRLS 😍😍😍" thing (yes, they really do that 😂😂). All the Yonji actors do it, but this guy is the biggest and tallest, so it just looks extra funny (and adorable 💚).
Sanji is Sanji, so there's been like dozens of actors through the years, I can't go through them all. Of the ones I've seen I like this guy the most. They're all so cute, but this one has a really really nice smile. It's just sunshine when I see it ☀️☀️☀️
Reiju is a brand new addition to the performance, but the actresses are all so lovely!!

im begging on my knees plz Adelina pics (specially angles of her face..I remember the tv tropes article saying she had been affected by the disease in her face but she looks normal to me??)
Hello anon!! Thanks for sending in! ^^
I posted a larger collection here!
Quite tough to say! Cause it very well could be prettification disease given her story, but it also may be dust and dirt from all she’s been through. I can see how it might read as the former from far away, however. But now you’ve got a collection of closeups!
What do you think?
