I've been looking through my TdV file on my laptop, thinking I should put a reel together with photos and videos... maybe a collage of my favourite photos... I don't know. Something. Anything. Because, I realised today that I never really acknowledged the show ending (with a post on Instagram anyways). I did put up some stories.
So... as I was looking through the file of photos, I started thinking about where I was when the show started and where I was when the show finished. When it started, I was coming out of a real low in my life where I couldn't see any future ahead of me, especially in Musical Theatre. And by the end of the show, I was planning for my next show... my future! DIE EISKÖNIGIN!
I don't know how much you all know about putting on a show, but from day 1 you become a family. You are immediately bonded with people who all live almost the exact same life as you, who have most likely been through the same (or similar) experiences and who are all heading towards the same thing as you - the show. In this case, Tanz der Vampire.
The sad reality about doing shows is, as soon as they finish, you almost immediately forget about the people you worked with. In most cases, you will remain friends with 1 or 2 people from that show. These days with social media it's easier to keep in contact with people, but at the same time, there isn't enough time in the world to be close friends with every single person you've worked with and remain in proper contact.
The important thing is that when you're doing the show, you be professional, you treat everyone with respect and above all... you have fun. And I can safely say that I did just that and I'm so thankful that I got the opportunity to do this show.
I truly believe the show will come back at some point in the future and when that day comes, I will get my teeth and rings ready and do everything I can to get the opportunity to play Krolock.
The important thing for you is, that you know how thankful I am that you all were and are a big part of my TdV journey; past, present and future... as well as any other show I do. If I see you at any stage door, we will remember how we all share this one special show with each other and I'll forever be thankful for that.
Thanks for reading.
S.
"Tanz der Vampire" ist mein Lieblingsmusical 😀!!!
Von daher immer wieder, insbesondere mit Dir (3x Ensemble, 2x von Krolock) war es eine absolute Bereicherung !
Hamburg ist eine kleinere "Reise" (morgens hin, Nachmittags-Vorstellung, abends zurück). Deshalb hatte ich bisher keine Gelegenheit, Dich an der stage-door zu treffen 😌 .
Stuttgart ist eine lange Anfahrt; das geht (für mich) nur mit Übernachtung - von daher hoffe ich sehr,
dass sich dies jetzt Ende November nachholen lässt !!!?
Viel Spaß und Erfolg jetzt erstmal in "Arendelle" 🎉
... und wo auch immer Dich Dein Weg danach hinführt, ich wäre dabei 😂 ...
And when you get your fangs back, I'll be there!! No matter where!! I'll come watch you! 😍 Travelling to Hamburg on my own to see you a second time was a tough decision, because for a couple reasons travelling is pretty hard for me at the moment, but I'm so glad I did and it was SO worth it!! ❤️ Maybe I'll even come to Stuttgart, we'll see!
I bet you know it and heard it often enough from me. But I can't say this often enough. Thank you Simon for everything. I'm so thankful to have you in my Life.
I don't know why and how it's possible but since I've met you, my life changed to a better one, it's more positive and I'm also more positive and made a big step to a better and healthy life.
I feel like I'm in a situation where you have been a few years ago, so I can learn so much from you and take so much with me, which helps me to take a step forward.
So thank you for everything, I'm happy I could be a…
I must admit that I was at TdV (for the 40th or so time) bc of Thomas. But I went out, desperate to know who this Nightmare solo singer is (and the red head, too ;)). I'm forever thankful that I found you in this industry to follow and to see you shine. I love how much you love your roles, what you put in there, your voice. I love watching you on stage and can't wait to do so in the future. I can't wait to fill up the collection with wayyy more pics and fill up my heart with great memories 🫶🏼
It was so nice to be „a part“ of you journey in TdV! And I can‘t wait for it to continue with everything in Stuttgart with „die Eiskönigin“! Thank you for everything! It‘s a really nice memory and I‘m hoping that Tanz will be back soon hopefully with you as firstcast Krolock even though I will be there way too many times, so maybe I should start saving money😂😂
