Since I seem to have little energy to do anything and way too much time to think these days, I realised one day that most of my favourite musicals are somehow connected.
Let's start with
Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tim Curry does Frank fantastically in the movie, but the role has also been played on London stages by Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from
Buffy), who is also in
Repo! The Genetic Opera. Also in
Repo! we see, and hear, the lovely Sarah Brightman, who was the first Christine in
the Phantom of the Opera, the one Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the part for, somewhat thinking himself as the Phantom. Right, so Webber wrote the music for the Phantom, and also for
Jesus Christ Superstar. Yay!
Mr. Head also sings in a few episodes of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and especially in the musical episode
Once more, with feeling! which is a special episode of a TV-series, as is the
Lexx musical episode
Brigadoom. Ok, so that's stretching it a bit thin. But that only leaves out
Dancer in the Dark and
Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I'm so tired but it's only nine in the evening... wahh. I've had
Zydrate Anatomy from
Repo! playing in my head all day long... I think I know the lyrics already.
