Romeo et Juliette: Les Infants de Verone (2010)

Well, first thing first...
The good news is you don't have to worry because it's non-task related. The bad news is I still can't get 'Romeo et Juliette Musical' out of my head and I have to spill it somewhere. I'd like to thanks you who read this post and to apologize if I made you worry. And I don't care what you're thinking about this post, I just want to share my amazement toward 'Romeo et Juliette Musical'. That's all.

The story begins when I, out of curiosity, was listening to a fanmade video of 'Les Rois du Monde, Multilanguage Version'. The song kept repeating several times and I finally thought that it's a nice song. So I looked through the lyrics and found the translation from French version. The lyrics was amazing.

If you by chance, want to read, then go to Les Rois du Monde Translation (There're 3 version).

And the next thing I found is, I was already watching a video in youtube. The 'Les Rois du Monde' live on stage (2001 version). And then I got to know that it's from a musical. A French musical of 'Romeo And Juliet'. So far, there're 2 versions that I knew, 2001 version and 2010. The difference were, maybe, quality, actors, etc. In 2010 version (the revival) there's a lot of significant change from the actors. I guess all of the actors were replaced except for Damien Sargue who played as Romeo and Tom Ross who played as Tybalt.

I, myself, prefer the 2010 version. From the way the actors acted, their singing, the properties, etc. So far, I only managed to watch Act 1 from internet (with english subs), I still can't find Act 2. I'm dying, I want to see it so bad. I already got the soundtracks, but I want to see the musical, the feels, it's different. I want to see it so bad.

Well, move on, I'll tell you about the characters I knew so far (and my opinion about them).

1. Romeo (Damien Sargue)

Well, who doesn't know 'Romeo'? He's a handsome man around his twenty, coming from Montague family. Who's later will fall in love to Juliet (and yes, die). He has two friends (or brothers?) Mercutio and Benvolio.

(His singing was great. He also played as Romeo in 2001 version but as a Romeo with long hair. However, I prefer him to be like the one in 2010 version.)





2. Juliet (Joy Esther)

And here's Juliet. A beautiful girl on her sixteen, coming from Capulet Family. She'll later fall in love to Romeo (and again, yes, die).

(Her singing was great. I love her hairs. And she's married to Damien Sargue but later divorced, aww too bad //okaystop)







3. Tybalt (Tom Ross)

Tybalt, the antagonist, Juliet's cousin who's secretly in love with her. And again, someone who died. He got killed by Romeo in a duel.

(His singing was great. He's a pitiful character and somehow developed as one of my favorite characters.)






4. Mercutio (John Eyzen)

Mercutio, Romeo's sidekick, friend and brother. He later died in a duel with Tybalt.

(His singing was great. He's kind of has twisted mind, bizzare, unique, etc. One of my favorite characters.)








5. Benvolio (Cyril Niccolai)

Benvolio, Romeo's sidekick, friend and brother.

(His singing was great. And he's kind of the reasonable one, the calm one, in my eyes.)









There're also other characters, but I won't explain. They're:
Prince, Paris, Lady Capulet, Lady Montague, Nurse, Lord Capulet, Death, Poet, etc.

Moving on~ So far that I understood are...
The story begins with some kind of prologue, 'Overture', then the Prince came out and sang 'Verona' which tells about the city and the people living there, about the conlict between Capulet and Montague. Next, both of the Lady, Capulet and Montague sang 'La Haine'. Then in 'La Demande en Mariage', Juliet got a marriage proposal (was it?) from Paris, and it showed Tybalt feelings toward her as well. Then Tybalt sang a song about him. Julite didn't agreed on that marriage proposal but she had to. And moving on, she's singing 'Un Jour' along with Romeo who's on a different place.

After that, Mercutio and Benvolio came out and they sang 'Les Rois du Monde' along with Romeo. And then Mercutio sang 'Je Reve' which tells about his dreams, ambition and such. And then Romeo sang 'J'ai Peur' which tells about his fear toward something. Later, Mercution and Benvolio showed up and told him to go to Capulet's ball. There, Romeo met Juliet and they fell in love to each other and sang 'L'amour Heureux'.

Tybalt who realized Romeo's presence then sang 'C'est Pas Ma Faute' which tells about his being the son of hate and contempt, got betrayed and that it's not his fault.

Soon later Romeo and Juliet decided to get marry in 'Aimer'. Later, Mercutio and Benvolio who found out, accused him betraying the family and such in 'On Dit Dans la Rue'. Didn't accept the fact between Romeo and Juliet in 'C'est la Jour', Tybalt sang his feelings out.

That's all that I had watched and understood so far. But, so far, it's really great! It's amazing! I love it!
The songs... it stucks in my head for days now :'

If you have any spare time, would you care to give it a try? To watch this musical. It's so great and I can't help it, I want to share it to everyone.

Well, then. That's it for now. And I apologize for my bad grammar and other wrongness.
I hope I can find Act 2 soon :'
So, for now...
Au Revoir~
