Rebecca

So is it standard practice for musical demo soundtracks to have these lovely in-between bits with a calm narrator telling you what happens between the songs? because I have now listened to the English demo of Rebecca and I AM IN LOVE WITH THE FORMAT. The songs are all beautiful and emotionally-intense, but then before I'm so overwhelmed with emotions that I can't continue, it switches over to the narrator matter-of-factly telling you stuff and it's like WHEW OKAY BREATHE GET MY BEARINGS IN THE STORY before continuing on to the next song. I love ittttttt!

(Please feel free to take this opportunity to rec me other musical soundtracks that do similar things (and also are good))

I enjoyed Rebecca beyond the format, of course! The music is great, and the story is interesting, though mostly I just want the young naive Ich to run far far away from everyone else in the story and find a nice and happy life for herself. (also obviously Mrs Danvers has a galaxy-sized pash for the late Rebecca, and probably they deserved each other)

(Please feel free to take this opportunity to rec me interesting fics about Ich. I have already gone through the AO3's offerings - for the book, since all it has for the musical is two fics in Russian)

Also: I am very fond of Levay's musicals, and my fannish activities of late have been making me aware for the first time that I'd....somehow never really thought before about how musicals have composers and that different composers might affect one's appreciation of a musical. BREAKING NEWS I KNOW. Ahahahaha how embarrassing.
