Pia Douwes - Tumblr Posts
FACTS. You're so right about 2005. it's the perfect mix between historical and psychological. i love mate and maya so MUCH. *whispers* i also have fanfiction and i am also accepting prompts....
1992 with Uwe and Pia is fantastical and mesmerizing, the overall tone is like a story where Lucheni is the writer, flipping through each pages. 2005 with Maya and Máté is intense, it’s a constant struggle for power over the narrative and other characters, Elisabeth, Death, Lucheni. They seem to be truly living and occasionally intercepting each other’s stories. So full of drama. It’s the most cathartic for me. And Maya might not be THE Elisabeth like Pia, but her passion and fire is unmatched, like how Máté invented a new Death, she invented a new Elisabeth. I even adore the roughness in her voice.
Also drop the fanfic link, friend 👀
Anybody interested in a 1-hour-long video essay dissecting the consequences of Rondo of Love and Death in Elisabeth das Musical?
Ok so after mucking around with DeepL and replaying the scene a hundred times. Through a process I call trial, error, and rephrasing the translation to match the structure of the sentence then choosing from the synonyms to find the closest sounding words to Pia Douwes’ singing. I got what COULD POTENTIALLY be the original German lyrics of the 1992 version of Schwarzer Prinz (or as it was known then, Wie Du reprise). I don’t speak German so if anyone can correct any mistakes they found, that would be much appreciated.
Mama, wenn ich älter werde, such mir keinen Mann Alles, was mich glücklich macht, kann ich allein Träumen und Gedichte schreiben oder reiten mit dem Wind. Ich möchte nie gebunden sein
Does anybody have the transcript of the original German lyrics of the ORIGINAL Schwarzer Prinz? The one in 1992? 🥹 Cuz I can’t seem to find it anywhere. The only one I found is the one used in the Viennese Revival which is already changed …
Rebecca | Mrs Danvers through the years
Alright, so can we appreciate how beautiful she is? 😭😍
I'll just leave this pic here in case anyone wants to set a new wallpaper or something
If these are not the most adorable pictures ever of Pia, then I don't know which are
Pia Douwes - as Luigi Lucheni + Mijn Leven is Van Mij (yodel version)
Me: I'm watching musicals for the plot
The plot:
Rating Pia's characters based on how they'd act at a therapist
(leaving Diana and Helena out for obvious reasons)
Mrs Danvers 5/5 - would talk about Rebecca all the time so she'd make the therapist's job pretty easy
Elisabeth 3/5 - wouldn't open up about herself but would be very interested in the mysteries of the human brain
Velma 5/5 - no matter how she'd act, it would be a great musical number
Claire 1/5 - would rather pay to get rid of the therapist, she wouldn't feel like she needs one
Milady 2/5 - would get bored quickly and try to seduce the therapist for fun
Morticia 1/5 - the therapist would need their own therapist after a few hours with her, although she's truly an angel, #justiceformorticia
Norma 2/5 - would overdramatize everything and bring her monkey along who'd probably eat every hidden food in the room
Killer Queen 3/5 - would convince the therapist to join her side very quickly, a little world dominion is never a bad idea anyways
Pia in 1995 singing Life is a Cabaret and making us gay
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
