Mate Kamaras' Tod always feels at least a little bit unhinged and I cant explain it. Its really fun though

Genial!

Enttäuschend, nichts im Vergleich zu Willemijn Verkaik

Mate always gives it 110%, not just here either😂 - the growling - the hip thrusts - he also gets real up close and personal wit Rudolph later 😂 - more growling - the movement speed. His death has that UNHINGED vibe 😂

I gotta say the more recent performances just LACK something.. I think Mark does a great job at the intimidating yet seductive vibe, his eyes seem to really pin you in place. But I really liked the twirl, bc it feels like a kind of distorted almost pardoy of a lovers embrace, like when they do the thing of spinning the partner around bc they're happy you know? And that is just so ICONIC and tragic. Rudolph embraces death and holds onto them with desperation. More recently it feels more like death is mahandling him fully. Its also a good interpretation, but I personally prefer the earlier ones.

Felix Martin was putting in his whole Todussy (Im so sorry) No but really the kiss? Great. But the best part was the shawl removal imo. Like that was so ICONIC

Kim Junsu!!! you gotta see him live ❤️‍🔥

I got tickets to see the Dutch production next year (will go see this in May and October) and I'm exicted. As for seeing other productions, I'd say my favorite Der Tod are done by Uwe Kröger, Máté Kamarás (he's my top favorite), Szabó P. Szilveszter and Leo (from K-Pop group VIXX, although there is no footage of him aside from his concerts).

m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsCVqbqd1NvNZqM.html&pp=ygUaRGUgZnJhbnNlIHppZWt0ZSBlbGlzYWJldGg%3D Ganz ehrlich… Ich finde das Stanley Burleson aus der niederländischen Produktion hier gewinnt… 1:52

Where can i watch jesper tyden 2001?

lmao who drew on his brows???

are those cornrows???

Junsu❤❤❤❤

Draco Malfoy's great-great-great grandad and Raoul de Chagny

They turned into Phantom! As if this show need more Andrew Lloyd Webber allusions.

Dance lift of Kroger is very powerful, he spins a guy with the same height and weight easier than I do it with my dog while training it. It's hard for me even look at this but its very cool.

I Love the Mark Seibert one, it looks unhinged

Where is Junsu? He is like THE Korean Tod. He won rhe best actor award for it

Can anyone translate the interview part, by any chance?

I just saw Elisabeth live in Hungary for the first time ever and I loved this schene, they did it a lot differently tho. Rudolph was dancing with the angels of death the whole time who were taunting him with rifles, and only in the end of the song he is the one who runs to Death, kissing him and shooting himself, without any taunting from Death's side, showing how badly he really wanted to die.

I’m not gonna lie, this makes me really wish I could have the opportunity and skill to perform as Death in a production of this show, just to bring back the dress and Uwe’s twirl. The new choreography works super well, of course, but something about that drag backwards into a wild, leg-swinging twirl feels almost jarringly *joyous,* which makes what’s actually happening all the worse. Or maybe I just like the way the skirts move! 😂🖤🖤🖤

11:00 okay this one gives me chills. the dissonance between the gentle caress as he hands him the gun vs how coldly he drops him to the floor. Just... wow.

This is the content that I come to KZfaq for After all those Arno ones duds, I knew Seibert was going to kill it

Also an accidental comparison of how meh Der Tod's costuming has gotten in the German versions over the years. *sigh*

Seeing Máté Kamarás in three different languages really impressed me. Thx for the interesting compilation! Máté, Uwe und Martin are my favorites in this scene. 👌

Uwe slays so hard everytime 🫶

No one does it like Pia!

Wow the voice😮❤

i need the 12/12/2003 elisabeth recording so bad mate seems to be going ham in it

do you have any idea where to find the Takarazuka productions on video?

this is so important thank u for ur service

Though I'm not usually a Máté fan, I have to say he's great for this scene (second only to Uwe because he can't compare to the sheer drama)

I'm guessing the director has some thesis about mirror and/or reflections as a theme of the musical XD

What shocked me is that the fact that Paul kribbe twirled eight times as soon as he picked rudolf up is very interesting

Uwe is truly the master of spins.

16:30 Szilveszter serving his best Morticia Adams look

Why did they change the dresssss nooooo

2:09 thank u bye 🦋✨🦋✨🦋

Aww, they cheated on the Mayerling kiss XP

Am I the only one who's favourite death is Mark? Even though when I realised I had a bit of a crush on him I thought 'that's just so predictable'

Oh god I'm crying at "headbutt bitch" XD Mark is my favorite Tod but that first kiss of his in the video was definitely best. That said, it comes down to the director's instructions as well as where they're performing, what day each video was shot, etc. There's so much variation from one performance to the next, it's probably either coincidence that the kisses ended up getting shorter or else it was a creative decision to make the death seem more cold and calculating. Mark certainly has no problem kissing men so I'm guessing it's the latter lol.

shoutout to Thun at 8:20 for validating the "Tod wears the dress bc he's appearing to Rudolf in the form of Mary" reading

08:35 that's probably Mary Vetsera that is genius if you know her story but without any context it'd be super confusing

During my extensive Mayerling Kiss research (:webber:) I've discovered that the mysterious Thun u/s Tod is Armin Rostami!! I'm also pretty sure that the Rudolf in that clip is the understudy aka Oliver Arno, because main Rudolf Nico Gaik had very blond hair at the time of the prod (saw it on a curtain call pic), which the Rudolf in the clip doesn't. Just thought I'd let you know :D

im going feral

What i really what to know is why they changed from a dress.... the dresses looked so good!!!

OH MY GOD I watched the musical a few months ago anf there was no swish. Literally no. That's sad

Willemijn Verkaik es magnífica... 😍

So in the Thun production I believe the other person dying was ruldofs mistress who killed herself with ruldof in like real life

kinda inclusive☺️
