Drew Sarich "Verdammt" Compilation - Tanz der Vampire
Переглядів 6 тис.3 роки тому
Drew Sarich is my favourite Graf von Krolock and the regular way this line is sung is just holding one singular note, a few sing two notes, but Drew sings four. Someone asked for audios of him singing this line so I thought why not make a compilation of all the clips I have of him singing it. The musical is Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires) and if you're not familiar and would like to kn...

Lifeboat Animatic WIP (Heathers The Musical)
This is a great video, I learned so much about genderfluidity and how harmful the show actually was... I really enjoyed having loads of different people's takes on the issue, it really helped solidify just how much damage the representation and lack thereof has caused. This isn't to say that just hearing you alone talk about it would've made the criticism any less valid, just saying that there is a different sort of power hearing the opinion of a big group of people, rather than the thoughts of one, if that makes sense. Amazing video.
Hadley Fraser and Ramin Karimloo at 25th anniversary!!!!
Oh my that was fun. The Drew count should be 8 tough as he was also Jesus in the first clip.
Just gals being pals.
Don't forget Starmania
8:41 2008
the 2008 and 2013 hugs :((((((
My beautiful accounts of my fave scenes cuz I am a huge Enjoltaire shipper 1:43 one of my favorite enjoltaire deaths 🥲the shirt grab?? Yeah I saw that r 4:58 MY HEART 😭😭 that hug but then Pontmercy goes and ruins the mood by being straight 6:06 Aaahh this death 😭😭 my heartttt 6:34 once of my faves since IT’S RAMIN and his E looks so amused by R I can’t 😭😭 7:17 enj said let’s get married bro 9:19 R SOUNDS LIKE HES ABOUT TO CRY AND MY HEART CANT TAKE IT😭 and the fact that r gives e his bottle and then enj takes it as like a gift AAHHHH😭😭😭😭 Anywho, thank you for this video it has energized me enough to make a rebellion
I also considered dropping the show. I decided that there were more things I liked about it than things I didn't. I am very glad I decided to give the second season a try, I liked it much more than the first.
Damn call me Bella Swan the way I ne stanning hot vampires who want to bite me😂
How is there no Rocky Horror Picture Show in this video?
Głoćny
Using this Vid as a watchlist cause I only saw Tanz der Vampire but i saw that one live and let me tell you the applause got like massively louder for Herbert
4:27 idk why but this line with this dude saying it lives rent free in my head everyday
7:53 Enjolras: Oh yeah, let me just tenderly kiss R's hand and get down on one knee in the middle of this REVOLUTION??? Honestly tho, I ADORE this!!!
Better be Invited to the wedding
i mean slay, but it's kinda sad to me that the only real sapphic rep we have is mrs danvers
RIP MOZART did u get the elisabeth copyright change email too 😔
5:18 Enjolas' "bitch are you serious?" Look versus his 6:32 "touche" amused look
WHEN DID HE KISS HIS HAND HELLO
Why is the 25th Anniversary Concert not on here? The Drink With Me chemistry between Ramin Karimloo and Hadley Fraiser is everything.
i had originally uploaded this with the 25th included, but any video that uses clips of the 25th immediately gets blocked by youtube for copyright so that's why there no clips from the 25th in here
2:27 This is wrong, the sentence was cut off to make ot look bi. 😑 He sings about the page boys mourning, not him being his victim.
Why did 2013 kinda hurt 😭 </3
i love that every single german-language musical has about a 60% chance of featuring drew sarich, mark seibert, or thomas bochert. bonus points if its a baritone role they cast drew in and just let him option everything up whenever he wants
2008 is the gayish one
everyone is the gayish one
but yeah 08 deginitely fulfilled the part most 😭
Drew Sarich ftw
All the best ones happened before I was born T^T
Just bros being pals, nothing to see here!
Thank you for this video. It was very informative. I’m a cis female, who loves the show, yet I felt very disappointed by the queer representation in it. Wasn’t sure why I was feeling that disappointed you showed me why I was feeling that way. And I am so sorry for the disappointment and anti representation it gave to you guys.
Im a little late to this video but as a cis person this was super educational! I knew some about Lokis gender fluidity and was excited at the possibility of it being discussed, but watching the show (though i do love it overall (especially from a technical aspect bc im a theatre kid)) I definitely recognized there were some major issues with LGBTQ+ rep even if i didn’t fully understand it. This was super fascinating to listen to and i think the information you have compiled here is super important to help people understand what their trans/genderfluid friends may be feeling so thanks :)
All thats missing is john eyzens mercutio and cyril's benvolio looking at eachother constantly T.T. Im not crying you are
What song is this? Edit: Now I know, it's tanzsaal.
EWW WTF IS THIS
That was truly a great video, and I'm really glad I came across it! Just through the significant controversy surrounding the Loki series, I've learned so much from people like you about what it means to be genderfluid and what it doesn't! I can well imagine that certain contributors to Season 1 probably had good intentions but were either not well-informed themselves and/or had various writers and authorities muddle things up, resulting in too many inconsistencies in the series. Even in Season 1, I had the feeling that I wasn't getting what I had hoped for from Loki as a queer character, I just couldn't quite put my finger on why I felt that way. Especially now after watching this video, I would hope that those involved with Marvel can learn something from it for future series/movies. However, even with Season 2, I once again feel like I'm not getting what I would have liked to see from Loki, and Disney seems to be pulling back on representation... which is really a shame, considering contributors like Tom Hiddleston surely had the best intentions, just as he always conveyed in interviews...
I’m a long time Enjoltaire shipper so every time they got close I was literally chanting “KISS KISS KISS KISS!!” and then there was the 2008 West End one and I thought ‘ OMG IT’S HAPPENING ‘ I am disappointed that it hasn’t and (unfortunately) probably won’t happen.
from which jcs version is the kiss? 😭😭😭
every musical clip is listed in the description with timestamps so you can look there to find whichever jcs production you're referring too
Drew carried this content but at this point you could've had a Mark counter as well lmao
2008 west end is forever in our hearts
1:16 it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that the man in the towel literally is one of my choir teachers
god,I just want to cry when I saw 08😢❤
I'm so in love with Tanz der Vampire, I only just saw it for the first time (live!!) about a week ago. An unforgettable experience. I knew about Herbert, but then the count approaching Alfred with that song had me like "huh? am i picking up on a ~vibe~ here?" Filippo Strocchi was playing Krolock that night and god, he was amazing! Though I will say Drew Sarich has a special place in my heart as Krolock, I just love him. I'm happy to see so much of him in this video ;) And uhm... maybe I should check out the Elisabeth musical after all...
I was twelve/thirteen when the show came out and had only just realized I'm queer, and, being a huge Loki fan, I was really excited about it. It's really sad to look back and have those memories turn sour with the realization of its many faults. I hope marvel does better in the future but to be honest I doubt they will.
when galois wrote chevalier "i embrace you with effusion" this is what i pictured
you just caused me to stop everything i was doing and go watch mozart l'opera rock. THANK YOU
BRO I DIDNT EVEN THINK AB THE POSSIBILITY OF EUROPEAN MUSICALS FOR SOME REASON (i’m stupid) THIS IS AMAZING
8:23 is a lie guys, it does!!
I know this video is over a year old, but I just want to say I really enjoyed it, it's probably the most in-depth discussion I've seen of Loki's genderfluidity, I hadn't even made the connection to autogynephilia so I'm really glad you pointed that out. Sadly a season 2 is supposed to be released this year so I can only hope they perhaps address it there, though I don't think I'd enjoy seeing them include his genderfluidity now though because they obviously don't care and don't know what they're doing, as you said they've already fallen into some very awful tropes and stereotypes, I wished they'd never tried to promise us anything in the first place. I really don't understand how they managed to mess it up this bad when the comics are literally right there, I know the genderfluid shapeshifter thing is a bit old now, I guess it can be a good visual metaphor and it's an easy way to get an audience to understand (though the trope it is a bit of a rubbish metaphor when there are other actual mystical creatures and such), though I think I'd prefer that to anything we got here as I think it'd be too much to expect from Disney to do ANYTHING else. Anyway, I do encourage people to read the comics, you'll always get better queer representation from them than anything Disney or the MCU could give us.
Saw this in my recommendations as a brand new Les Mis fan and felt SO VINDICATED in my suspicions! I saw a tender face clasp and was like..."Wait. Are they together?" Also, hello longstanding Enjoltaire shippers - may I join the club?
Of course join us!!! Everyone is important bc make our fandom alive
The same thing happened to me! So relatable It's strange to be new to this fandom now, feels like I'm late to this party But I can't stop loving every single detail about these characters so intensely
I’d recommend looking into the characters in the book. They’re all given more detail, but there’s so much content specifically fueling Enjoltaire shipping. One example off the top of my head is that they die holding hands after Grantaire asks “do you permit it?”
@@shammyturtle9741 I know i'm kind of late, but I second this. I wasn't ever a die-hard enjoltaire shipper, but reading the book, the way they are written is incredibly tragic and just over all really, really good, and it comes through a lot better in written format because of Hugo's use of literary devices like metaphors - he makes them perfect foils of eacg other, likens them to duos and couples from classic greek and latin works popular to his generation of writers, etc. When they finally die together in Orestes fasting and Pylades drunk, it's really incredible (and also makes for a good copypasta imo if you want it to hurt a little less)
I watched the 2001 and the 2010 versions of the roméo et Juliette musical and when I saw the Italian one and I was literally so mad at the French version of roméo et Juliette for not including the mercutio and roméo kiss!!
also, I really have the feeling that the kiss was actually not planned because it kind of looks like the one that plays Roméo ( sorry couldn't, find his name) is moving away from him
@@missikira I've watched like a hundred videos from the italian production and they do it everytime, I'm sure it was planned! it might just be an acting choice - while the actor, Davide Merlini, is expecting the kiss, Romeo, the character, is not.
@@saphira4366 oh , I actually only watched this one so I didn't know it was something they did in every performance but like you said I do think that the character of Romeo was not expecting that kiss
The only thing this video is missing imo is Drew Sarich performing (and slaying) “Poor Unfortunate Souls” while fully decked out in drag ✨
I think the 2004 London Grantaire is Matt Harrop. I saw the cast with Oliver Thornton in person. I also think the 2001 Broadway Grantaire is Paul Truckey (I saw him when he later took over the role on tour, and it looks like him), but I don't think the Enjolras is Ben Davis: it's probably Christopher Mark Peterson, because Ben Davis had blond hair.
