Pia Douwes and Maya Hakvoort in the same roles
Note1: I couldn't find pics of Maya as Velma and Milady, so I have to leave that to everyone's imagination
Note2: while they played the same character in 3 musketiere, the productions were not the same, they were different musicals by different writers/composers, based on the same story. Unfortunately I couldn't find much information about the St. Gallen one with Maya from 2000
Note3: just to make it clear, I didn't make this post to compare them to each other (apparently people like to do that, at least in the comment section of YouTube), I love both of them very much and I think they're both freaking talented and stunning
"Zero chemistry" is so mildly put 😂
For the ones who only saw the award video - this is like, a 122% better than what happened in the production on stage.
On stage they just. Took two ends of a rope. And pulled a bit. À la whip-pulling from the German staging. But with a think rope. Except of that no eye contact or touching whatsover save for ONE moment when Der Tod stroked the cheek of a kneeling Rudolf with the butt of the gun
(@fitzrove about Rudolf - I suspect he has a condition, because one side of his face is like "frozen"; especially visible in interviews)
Hi there! The Dutch Musical Awards were yesterday evening, and they always include some performances from the nominated shows and what else is in the theatre at the moment. And they did "Er valt een zwarte schaduw" (which is "Die Schatzen werden langer" in German?) From Elisabeth the musical! The performance is on YouTube, check it out:

Thanks for the link!
Milan sure is doing something (tm) as Death (he's fine, there have been much worse ones in Germany - not sure about that falsetto opt up lmao but idk, he's decent) but wow, these people have zero chemistry😭😭 I don't think the guy that plays Rudolf is even acting or trying to show what the character is feeling in this scene, he's just kind of there???
