Backstage Journal is a short Kagek<\/em>i feature where very young cast members write anecdotes about what\u2019s going on behind the scenes of the productions. They\u2019re not very deep, being full of emojis and more like blog entries than articles, but they are a good way to get to know the newest actresses in each troupe, or to see what senior actresses got up to in their early days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one was written by Snow Troupe member Ayanagi Shou (of the 92nd class) during Otozuki Kei\u2019s prodution of\u00a0Romeo et Juliette,<\/em>\u00a0and published in the April 2011 issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Backstage Journal: Ayanagi Shou (Romeo et Juliette) – April 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello everyone! It\u2019s been ages \u2728 This is Ayanagi Shou, writing Backstage Journal for the second time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, I\u2019m going to showcase the passionate backstage scenes of Snow Troupe\u2019s Tokyo production of Romeo et Juliette<\/em>!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friar Lawrence side story?!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone, do you ever wonder why Friar Lawrence didn\u2019t make it there in time before Romeo and Juliette died? Don\u2019t you want to know what really happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day I discovered the truth \ud83d\udc40 During Romeo and Juliette\u2019s death scene I saw Niwa-san (Souno) who plays Friar Lawrence, desperately looking for her lantern\u2026 But since that situation seemed to happen with every performance, I continued investigating, and what did I find? It turned out Montague team members Ouka [Reno] and Suzuse [Miuto] were the culprits hiding it for a prank \u2728 Poor Niwa-san, searching so hard \ud83d\udca6 But wait!! If you look closely, she seems happy to be pranked  \ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96 Since Friar Lawrence was enjoying himself like that, he was late in arriving at the crypt!! That\u2019s the solution to the mystery of why he was just too late \u2728 Niwa-san, I know you\u2019re having fun on the way back but maybe sometime you could check on Juliette a little sooner (LOL) Currently I\u2019m also being allowed to participate \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where did the flower shop\u2019s flowers end up?!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the scene \u2018Les Beauxs, Les Laids\u2019, Mercutio, played by Chigi-san (Sagiri) climbs on a flower shop\u2019s cart and begins throwing flowers. The Montague men and women hanging around town start fighting over the flowers and it ends up basically like a bargain sale. Since Chigi-san is flinging the flowers behind her, I heard of all kinds of incidents happening so I thought I\u2019d describe some of those \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While normally the flowers were all neatly separated \ud83c\udf38 \ud83c\udf38 one day a whole bundle of flowers fell out of the sky. The bundle of flowers all landed straight on Karen-san\u2019s (Chikaze\u2019s) forehead \ud83d\udca6 Another time Chigi-san was too excited and a lot of flowers ended up on the roof of the butcher shop. Getting it just right is surprisingly difficult, apparently.  There was also an incident \ud83d\udc96 of amazing serendipity \ud83d\udc96 once one of the thrown flowers landed in the gap around the lift so it seemed like a flower was blooming out of the floor \ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96 how lovely~   \u2728 Also, also, one of these incidents happened to me too \ud83d\udc96 There are a bunch of badges on my costume, and once a flower bloomed there \u2728 Those were the kind of things that happened. When I informed Chigi-san about it, she was really surprised!! She might not look it but Mercutio is quite the romantic \ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96 \ud83d\udc96<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is just a tiny bit of what happened backstage at Romeo et Juliette, I hope you enjoyed it \u2b50\ufe0f Thank you for reading this whole thing!! Love from the passionate production of the newly formed Snow Troupe \u2b50\ufe0f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
