oh wow i've forgotten sooooo much about the romeo and juliet story! Thanks for the dets!

I’m so late but this stage was a work of genius - the opening is Mancini’s Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet, immediately cueing in what the story is. They reshuffled the events of the play to begin with Romeo finding Juliet dead, and the remainder is a flashback - Ravn is Romeo, Hwanwoong is Paris (who opens the song, having come with Romeo to find Juliet dead), Leedo is Tybalt (being held back as he tries to get to Romeo), Keonhee plays Mercutio (they both die, falling backwards). Ravn wrote both his rap sections to closely mirror the events and quote the play, and of course the Crests of the two houses of Montague and Capulet he cuts through to get to Juliet (not to mention at the start she holds onto red roses for love, and at the end it’s blue roses for something impossible). The backup dancers even have white/black face decorations for each house. Plus they’re self choreographed and plan a lot of the stages themselves from theming to design!

Ha I don’t think it makes sense to do this now because it came out last year, but it would fun to see some of your reactions from the show Superband

I’m like 99% sure the bit right at the start with the strings is from 'love theme' which is the soundtrack of one of the many Romeo and Juliet films. It’s not Tchaikovsky's, which really confused me trying to find it, but it’s this: https://youtu.be/r3pzeS93j30

Great reaction. Thought you would like to know that at the very beginning of Oneus' performance they played Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet by Henry Mancini- one of my all time favourite pieces of music to listen to on the violin. Glad that you have been enjoying the RTK performances.

If you are talking about Good Girl, I say definitely watch it, even if just on your own time. I really enjoyed watching all the collaboration stages that the women and competitors created. Lots of different sub-genres of hip hop all in one show.

Perhaps you could watch I-land? That might be fun (or alternatively stressful) haha
