You mentioned you have a video of anouk- does that mean you can give a review of her? I love her voice but would like to hear some insight into her portrayal
You know what? Fine. FINE. I will review her. I will review everybody! I will review all the new cast members I haven't seen yet! Anouk van Laake? Sure, I'll review her right now. All you people who sent me asks to review Emilie Kouatchou? Send them again! Beatrice Penny-Toure? Guess what, I have audio of her, I'll review her too! Jemal Felix? Ashley Stillburn? Them too! James Gant? I was hoping for a video of him but no, I'll review him too! Kanisha Marie Feliciano? I will travel forward in time to get bootlegs of her!
Oh, and the person who asked me for my opinion on Rhys Whitfield a little while ago? You get your wish too! I'll review him right here!
All right, so let's get the first bit out of the way: yes, her voice is great. Classical, light, strong and pure on the high notes. 'Think of Me' was lovely, with Anouk van Laake displaying a lot of this joy of singing; she was almost Gina Beck-like in her enthusiasm.
That said, it's also clear that this was her "performance Christine", in 'Angel of Music', she's much more haunted, a head-in-the-clouds, reserved sort of girl. The only exception to that, other than when singing, is when the very next song, 'Little Lotte', came on. There's no other way for me to describe her with Rhys Whitfield other than the words "instant chemistry". I think this is because his Raoul has has "awkward dork" energy and she has "odd girl" vibes, so they matched very well. She basically thew herself into his hug so hard she spun herself to the other side of the room, and they seemed to share a similar nostalgia for childhood days and fairy tale stories.
And this is important, because when we get to the First Lair scenes, it's kind of obvious that her Christine acts more like a student scared of displeasing her teacher (and relieved when she hasn't) than one interested in a romantic relationship. Throughout 'Music of the Night', she was pretty aloof to the Phantom. Like, it took until the end of the song for her to even crack a smile. And this wasn't something on Killian Donnelly's end, because I know I like to blame him for everything, he had much better energy here than in previous videos. I also thought she didn't seem too scared of him in 'Stranger Than You Dreamt It', more wary than anything, possibly because she was reserved towards him to begin with, though she did do a big gasp when he revealed his face.
This really got noticeable during the Rooftop Scene. I thought Anouk van Laake started a bit weak here - again, she's not too good at showing that she's scared with her face, though she did emote a lot with her voice (and had a very pretty "soar"). Rhys Whitfield, on the other hand, was great and kind of made up for her initial weakness. He had this way of pausing between lines in 'All I Ask of You' that made think, "Oh no, he's making this up as he goes along", it was great and totally matched his overall vibe of "I know about socializing in theory but I have never actually engaged in it until now."
Anyway, there was so much hesitant hand-holding on his end, and he had a really funny moment where he was clearly trying to take Christine's hand again, but she moved away and he just stood there, looking extremely confused and slightly put out. He also had a wonderful point where he looked like he was building himself up to say his lines. And once Anouk van Laake got into the song, it was wonderful, because she was clearly more sure of herself and playing the flirt a bit, which just further confused him and delighted her. And there was so much giggling, one of them possibly because Rhys Whitfield slightly messed up his line ("Then share you'll share with me"). By the end they were totally in love, and the capper was Raoul doing this little eyebrow waggle like, "Yeah, I finally got a handle on this romance thing."
All right, moving on... 'Notes II' - Anouk van Laake was kind of fast here and in 'Twisted Every Way', but was helped along by Rhys looking totally panicked about her panicking. On another note, Piangi had a funny moment where he looked quite happy to be name-dropped in the Phantom's letter, right up until the Phantom insulted him. Saori Oda also had some nice moments, like where she clutched her throat when the Phantom's letter was being read, and when she nodded approvingly when Christine said she wouldn't perform. Anouk van Laake did have a very strong 'Wishing': great vocals and a lovely transition from sad, to downright tormented, then finishing with a lot of determination at the end.
Nearing the end... so 'Point of No Return' was honestly not that memorable, save for the beginning where Christine had a lot of apple rubbing. The most notable thing was that this was the scene where I realized that Anouk van Laake's chemistry with the Phantom, while not lacking, was nowhere near the level of chemistry she had with Raoul. (I suppose this should have been obvious in retrospect, given that I spent 2 paragraphs waxing rhapsodic about AIAOY and just 1 paragraph on the entirety of the first lair.) It's not necessarily bad (though I was amused by her almost complete lack of reaction to unmasking him), but there are points where bits became a bit unbelievable.
This became most apparent in 'Final Lair', where her Christine spent the entirely of it vaulting between being frustrated with the Phantom and being downright pissed with him. Her "Please Raoul it's useless!" was almost shouted, with the tone of, "Don't even bother, Raoul, he's not going to change his mind." She spat out "false friend" at one point as well. It was great and I have no problem with this interpretation, but at the end she did seem to do a complete 180 and looked like she was having trouble leaving the Phantom, and looking kind of sad at the ring return, which... I mean, was the Phantom's kiss that great? It didn't seem like it; I thought she looked far happier kissing Raoul.
(Slightly off-topic, but I had a similar moment during her 'Twisted Every Way', where, after Christine goes, "Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice?", I thought to myself, "No, I'm pretty sure you can, given your attitude towards the Phantom." I remember also an interview where Anouk van Laake said she had initially wanted to cry during the ring returning scene, but was directed not to. Looking over her performance here, I find it hilarious that she wanted to do that, because she sure seemed happy with Raoul.)
Some final thoughts: Killian had some good points here and there, he's definitely improved a notch since the last bootleg I saw of him. And Rhys Whitfield was good with the little he had: at the portcullis he was obviously checking on Christine between yelling at the Phantom, and he's very good at looking like he's choking.
So overall:
Anouk van Laake - Pretty good Christine, shines most on the vocals IMO. Kind of a reserved, haunted portrayal interspersed with moments of childish glee and joyfulness. A bit weak in certain scenes and when it comes to portraying fear. Definitely an R/C girl, chemistry with the Phantom lacking in comparison. I think Lucy St Louis and Holly-Anne Hull have the stronger overall performances, but Anouk van Laake is not bad at all, and with time and some more performances, she'll probably be excellent.
Rhys Whitfield - Lovable, socially awkward Raoul; I get the feeling he's never had a conversation that went beyond conventional social chit-chat in his life. Totally in love with Christine but is also totally clueless at showing it; he's winging most of AIAOY and it's only sheer luck, and this Christine's penchant for dorky men who don't know what they're doing, that he succeeds. So fun to watch (and also big improvement over my impression of him in the UK tour, where he came off very boring, so hooray!).
All right, now have at me with everyone else you want me to review.

I’m so sorry...aber ich bin einfach zu tief gerade in meiner Tatort Wiesbaden Obsession. Dabei schreibe ich im Hintergrund auch fleißig Tatort Münster-Kram. Bisschen weird gerade.
Aber mich lässt der Gedanke nicht los, was passiert, wenn jemals rauskommt, dass Wächter weiß, dass David Murots Sohn war. Dat fliegt denen doch dann sowas von um die Ohren, oder? Oder wird das dann wie bei “Es lebe der Tod” und Murot ist einfach so reflektiert, dass er versteht, warum sie es getan hat?
Und überhaupt sein ganzes Verhalten dort zeigt, was für ein feiner Kerl Felix Murot eigentlich ist. Statt sie zur Schnecke zu machen, ist ihm direkt klar, dass Steinmetz sie mit irgendwas in der Hand hat und er will ihr nur helfen. Und wer ist es verdammt nochmal, der ihn in letzter Sekunde ins Leben zurückruft? (Kleine Parallele hier zu Alberich und Boerne in Limbus - was uns natürlich doppelt gefällt)
Und dann in “Schwindelfrei”, wie er sich versucht so unbeholfen bei ihr zu entschuldigen. Das ist einfach nur cute. Und wen ruft er als erstes an, als er erfährt, dass er geheilt ist? Mit wem will er feiern? Was sagt er zu seiner Zirkusprinzessin über sie? “Sie war immer da. Das ist viel.”
Und dann in “Wer bin ich?”. Das Wichtigste für Murot ist es, dass Tukur Wächter grüßt, weil er sie “wirklich in sein Herz geschlossen hat.” Eh, come on guys. Dazu die ständigen Ehepartnervergleiche. Ich halte das ja kaum aus. Warum fällt einem immer erst auf, wie obvious manches ist, wenn man binge watching betreibt?
#tatort wiesbaden#I'm murotfiziert#wächter x murot#ich könnt jetzt leider ewig so weitermachen#das ganze eifersuchtsding in schwindelfrei und die ferien des monsieur murot#oder dass wächter über murot sagt das sie er alles ist was sie hat#ihr macht mich fertig eh#wieso hab ich da jetzt tausend fanficton ideen#felix murot#magda wächter

Funeral for a dog war schon ziemlich gut, aber so wie es ist, würde ich jedem raten, nur bis inklusive Folge 5 zu sehen und den Rest zu ignorieren 😂
- wen interessiert Svenssons Geschichte? Er hat sich komplett irrational verhalten ab Folge 6. Komplett. Kurzschlussreaktion, die jahrelang hält. Rennt von seinen zwei Lovern davon und sagt dann, Tuuli hätte sich gegen ihn entschieden?
- Fuck Felix nur aus dem Grund, dass er Tuuli und Samuli für sich alleine haben wollte und nicht kapiert hat, dass es Tuuli anders geht, und in Kauf genommen hat, dass sie Mark verlieren
- wieso war dieses poly Trio auf einmal mit Fokus auf Felix / Tuuli und Mark / Tuuli und nicht auch Mark / Felix, wie anfangs eher gezeigt?? Ich hätte es besser gefunden, wenn das weniger in die Richtung "eine Frau zwischen zwei Männern" gegangen wäre, sondern in die polyamoröse Schiene, die mit den 3 Ringen angedeutet wurde. Sehr schade.
- wie Mark einfach nix mehr für Felix empfindet und ihn einfach sterben lässt. Man fragt sich, ob da jemals wirklich Gefühle waren.
- Tuuli tut mir einfach nur Leid. Das Ganze kann man quasi als gescheitertes Experiment abtun
- Leider wieder ein Beispiel für nicht geglückte poly Story, man fragt sich, warum
- bei der letzten Folge habe ich Puls bekommen - who the fuck cares about Mark, und ob er sich umbringen will oder nicht? Der unsympathischste Charakter, der den charmanten Felix hat ersaufen lassen und Tuuli alleine gelassen hat... Warum sollte ich mich für den interessieren? Frechheit, dass er überlebt hat.
- ich hätte dem Autor einiges an den Kopf zu werfen über vergeudetes Potenzial
- Daniel in der letzten Folge, wie er mit gebrochenen Herzen schluchzend im Boot sitzt, das war einfach zu krass schmerzhaft.
- Fazit: Außergewöhnliche Serie mit viel Tiefgang, wahnsinnig guten Leistungen der Schauspieler aber mit einem seltsamen Knicks in der Erzählung ab Folge 6, der mich unbefriedigt zurücklässt.
Die ersten 5 Folgen waren Magie.

So if I’m 100% correct these are the cast members who will be leaving as of July 30th:
Leeroy Boone
Donald Craig Manuel
Jemal felix
Erin flaherty
Jonathan Milton
Janet Mooney
Beatrice Penny toure
Nikki skinner
Ashley stillburn
Manon taris
Karen Wilkinson
This means we will have two new gala dancers who I’m assuming will be Jacob Hughes and Thomas Holdsworth, 2 new swings, 2 new raoul understudies 1st cover is Connor Carson and maybe Rafe Watts as 2nd cover?? Not sure about a 2nd cover phantom yet. We’ll also have a new 1st cover Mme Giry who could perhaps be Michelle Cornelius or Lizzie Wofford, New Christine understudy is Eve Shanu-Wilson, Sky Weiss is now taking over as 1st cover Meg, and lastly a new Carlotta understudy who again could perhaps be Michelle Cornelius or Lizzie wofford (would be LOVELY to see Mme Giry or Carlotta played by a woman of colour for further diversity)
Overall a smaller principal cast change that I anticipated but VERY VERY happy the 3/4 Christine’s are staying and James Gant will be continuing to cover phantom! 🤍

[Album] Teodor Wolgers veröffentlicht zweites Album "Dialogues"!
Der schwedische Pianist und Komponist Teodor Wolgers veröffentlicht sein neues Album "Dialogues" am 19. Mai digital über [PIAS] Nordic.
Die neuen Songs sind inspiriert von den Werken des belgischen Surrealisten René Magritte, die sich auch in den Titeln, dem Artwork und den Visuals des Fotografen Adam Falk wiederfinden. Jeder Track ist dabei auch ein Dialog und eine Zusammenarbeit mit einem anderen Act. Für sein zweites Album, das auf das Debüt "Distractions In A Capitalist World" folgt, lädt Wolgers einige der interessantesten Künstler*Innen der neoklassischen Welt ein, wie z.B. Niklas Paschburg ("Reconnaissance Without End"), Fejká oder Midori Hirano. Aber auch zu anderen Genres werden Brücken geschlagen, darunter Sara Parkman (Folk) und Bear Garden (Jazz), mit dem er die aktuelle Single “Song Of The Storm” einspielte.
Wolgers begann bereits mit 14 Jahren mit dem Studium des klassischen Klaviers. Acht Jahre später wurde sein Sinfonieorchesterstück "Dreams" in den Berwaldhallen in Stockholm aufgeführt – und Teodor mit 22 der jüngste Student der Königlichen Musikakademie, dem dies jemals gelang. Im Jahr 2021 veröffentlichte der junge Schwede sein Debütalbum, ein höchst ambitioniertes Konzeptalbum, das die Strukturen des modernen Kapitalismus und die menschliche Verfassung in Frage stellt, gefolgt von der EP "Our True Nature" in 2022, eine Sammlung von Werken, die die Beziehung zwischen der Natur und dem Menschen erforscht.
Tracklist "Dialogues":
01. Reconnaissance Without End ft. Niklas Paschburg
02. The Pleasure Principal ft. Midori Hirano
03. The Art of Conversation ft. Tom Ashbrook
04. Nocturne ft. Felix Rösch
05. Song of the Storm ft. Bear Garden
06. The Dominion of Light ft. Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres
07. The Human Condition ft. Fejká
08. The Flavour of Tears ft. Timo Krantz
09. A Taste for the Invisible ft. Sara Parkman
10. The Healer ft. Violeta Vicci
11. Angelus ft. Luchs
12. The Misanthropes ft. Abul Mogard

Why did they give Joe a wig though? Is that normal for Phantom?
Most Raouls wear their own hair, unless their hair is not long enough for the standard-ish "swoopy romantic side part" Raoul style. So that means that even though the design and Steve Barton had straight-ish blond hair, there have been ginger/auburn, dark haired, curly-haired, and even touch of grey haired Raouls. Because the majority of the time, they do wear their own hair, but maybe have fake sideburns, although some like Jordan Donica and Tomas Ambt Kofod grow their own. But some Raouls have been bald or balding or had greying hair or I think David Shannon had cornrows at one point 🙄, so the wigs department gave those actors a wig.
Joe Griffiths-Brown has a more modern undercut style of hair IRL right now, so that's probably why they gave him a wig.
But for completeness, there have been 6 black Raouls (Liam Tamne, Jordan Donica, Jemal Felix, Callum Francis, Lewis Francis and now Joe Griffiths-Brown) and about half of them have worn wigs.
AFAIK Liam Tamne (London 2014-2015) wore his own hair but I would have to go really digging through his Instagram/Twitter to find pictures of him in his "civilian life" besides that tiny blurry one from almost a decade ago.
Jordan Donica didn't wear a wig for either his 2016 run (left) or his 2022 run (center and right). Which led to him becoming the first replica Raoul with a ponytail.
Jemal Felix wore a wig as an understudy from 2021-2022 (first pic was from a dress rehearsal)
And in the non replica Australian Sydney Harbor production, Callum Francis and Lewis Francis both wore wigs with a very dramatic side part. But when Lewis Francis continued as an understudy in the Australian restaged tour, he wore his own hair and not a wig.
and i'm not even covering the old raoul wigs that they all wear. i know jordan donica didn't have an old raoul wig that matched his natural texture in his first run, lewis francis did have in the restaged tour, and i've typed all i can about raoul wigs and all i can hear is this song
