File Under: More Things About Which I Am Hella Excited

Holy shit holy shit holy shit.
I got this baby in the mail today - Frank Wildhorn's "Rudolf - Affaire Mayerling" on DVD.
I ordered it last week from Amazon.de and am amazed it came in the mail so soon - this is why Amazon is my lover forever and ever (ask me about my Kindle).

I've owned the cast album since its debut in summer 2009; however, I have delayed in ordering the DVD for really no good reason. The musical is based on Frederic Morton's fantastic book A Nervous Splendor: Vienna 1888/1889 and of course upon the historical Mayerling Incident - the (however contested) murder-suicide of Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Rudolf von Habsburg and his mistress, Mary Vetsera, at his hunting lodge at Mayerling.

Alys Mae is 24 and went to school for English Literature. She likes Victorian poetry, horror movies, German musicals, the Habsburgs, make up, comic books, Takarazuka, and things that make you say "Why? Because Japan."
Kymme Romigh is your typical mid-20 "I have a degree and I'm making a living doing nothing with it" year old. She lives in the middle of a cultural void with her husband, 2 cats, and a fat, lazy, alcoholic rabbit. Her interests include pirates, simulation games, reading, cooking anything and everything, avoiding the TV, the obligatory line about surfing the internet, coupon collecting, and making fun of the general public. Kymme believes ketchup & ice cream (not necessarily together) should be major food groups and has a thing for corny puns.
