Idk why everyone is freaking out over a woman playing a male role. We're at a point where romantic/sexual interactions between women on stage shouldn't be taboo.
I know this was uploaded years ago, but I need to get this out;; I don't like it at all. I usually admire Wao Youka's performances, but this one... Verführung (meaning SEDUCTION, btw) is supposed to be a very powerful scene but this is just... meek. I was hoping the years had my initial impressions distorted and that I would like it now but they stayed the same, huh.
@@MaskedMan66 yes, and for basically the same reason. The governments thought theater was a front for prostitution, so they banned women. Japan does not have a history of women playing mens roles until recently.
No it's not. Wildhorn's Dracula is EVERYTHING BUT androgynous. The role is clearly written for a male and it's filled with sexual tention. This was just done 'cause it was Yoka Wao who wanted to do the show and play the role. It's a vanity project of hers. Otherwise there wouldn't have been a female Dracula. You're right about Der Tod in Elisabeth but dead wrong about Dracula.
Dracula is played by female, formally an otokoyaku from takarazuka (google). Because frank wildhorn's vision of dracula is that of an androgyonous person. He kept this spot specially for wao youka. I cld see much better makeup for wao-san, but her stage presence,acting and singing are pretty amazing.
I hate to be that guy but actually this was a performance put on by Wao Yoka and Frank Wildhorn after Wao Yoka retired from Takarazuka so Wao Yoka is the only crossdressing person in this production. Although I think she still has that otokoyaku charm from her time as top star.
Hi! Is it really possible to get this musical through the link? If so, the link isn't working right now. Could you please reupload it? I'd love to see the whole musical because 1: I love vampires and 2: I'm a fan of Wao Yoka!!:) Thanks!! P.S. First time on RU-vid, by the way:)
me gusta los openigs y endings de los animes, pero este musical en japones como que no, por varias razones: lo he escuchado desde el principio en aleman y solo la versión alemana me concuerda con la musica (el japones queda raro para mi, en ingles solo escucho a minas chillonas con voces que rompen mis oidos) y tambien porque dracula no es dracula es draculina ( eso si me encanta su pelo, es muy mona, mina no tanto).
