And we're back. Now the music is all sad. Lilly, stop making hand gestures. Now the flowy sleeves are flying everywhere and they're still fighting. Didn't you all pay attention? Escalus's coat his kind of hard to miss.
Okay, so THIS lady must be Lady C. She's wondering where Juliet is apparently and telling her to look around at the fighting. The song's called 'Hatred' in English, so...makes sense. The fighting looks a little more dance-y now.
And heeeereee's Lady Montague. Probably here to sing about the same thing. One of those compare/contrast songs. It's nice. But why is her lipstick that weird color? No one needs lipstick a million times lighter than their actual skin. It just looks odd. I like her voice, though.
Still, what's with the dance-fighting?
Lady C points dramatically at the hate. Look. Look at the hate. It's a lot of hate. She's pointing right at it. There's some hate right there. Okay, Montagues and Capulets. You're not fighting. You're dancing dangerously. There's no fighting here. There's twirling.
The Ladies point accusingly at each other. Weren't we just talking about how bad hatred was? The audience claps. Why do we need to see them? They're not interesting at all.
Here comes Benvolio, aka Lance Bass. Does that make Freaky Beard...nah, it can't be. Not until I know for sure. I won't freak out until then. She asks him where Romeo is. Benvolio gets all nervous and avoids the question with such grace that I almost applaud him. But he finally admits he doesn't know. Lady Montague's hair is strange. I just noticed that. Huh.
She demands he go and search for Romeo. He mocks her. Well done, Benny-boy. Such grace. I can see why you were the sane cousin in the play. And here we leave off.
Thoughts: The voices in this are awesome. Benvolio's a bit out of character and still no main characters, but I can wait it out.
