This has been niggling at me lately. If there is to be a Sakura Taisen step, this question has got to be answered:
What plays (or musicals) can be played (courtesy of Doug) and who would be cast into what roles?
This I believe is a tough question because you need to be familiar with both the play/musicals and Sakura Taisen.
So let me lead off with a musical that I broached at an earlier thread:
Andrew Llyoyd Weber's Phantom of the Opera (note the trademark)
The big question as far as casting goes is who will play the roles of Christine, Raul and the Phantom respectively?
I expect that the role of Christine will be the focus of ferocious competition among the Hanagumi. Sumire, Orihime and Sakura can play the role quite well. Kohran and Reni might be able to pull it off (though it would be a stretch). Though, if you were casting against type, Maria would be a perfect choice.
The roles of the Phantom and Raul would would be interesting.
If you're casting to type...Maria could fill the role of the Phantom (after all she played Skull X). but if she plays the part of Christine...who plays that critical role?...none of the other Hanagumi can play a dark male character well enough (*cocks eye at a certain Loon*)
As to the role of Raul....Kanna would be the first choice...but my thought is that Ohgami would be perfect for the role.
As to the role of Prima Donna....two guesses who? ^^
It'd might be fun to announce the role of Raul first then have a competition to see who plays the role of Christine next.
