Tatiana Larina from «Evgeni Onegin» on the Saint Petersburg postcard's reverse side.

I drew her a couple of days ago because I really like her. (My fav kinn in russian literature).

Something like that.

Onegin the Musical (a recommendation)

I want to bring a musical onto everyone's radar, since it has captured my heart, and probably become one of my favourite musicals of all time. It’s called Onegin, and it is a Canadian written and produced musical (made in my city, Vancouver). If you like Russian musicals, duels, rhythmic stomping, haunting music, heartfelt plotlines or clever humour you will like this musical.

Here’s the description from the musical’s website...

When Evgeni Onegin visits the Larin family home, his romantic charms stir passions long forgotten by its residents. Poet Vladimir Lensky’s romantic ideals are challenged (a duel!) after Onegin flirts with his fiancée Olga Larin, and even the sensible Tatyana Larin falls for the handsome rogue. The hit musical moves, shakes, and wakes audiences with its sweeping score, leaving the powerful question swirling in their minds: Look around, look around, look around, do you see someone worth dying for?

Not only is it underrated, but I’m pretty sure it hasn’t performed outside of Canada. In recent years, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so drawn into a performance. My friend (@thelowlysatsuma) and I were holding onto each other with a death grip, squeezing tighter each time something happened. It was refreshing to watch, and such a wonderful feeling to experience. It’s the exact feeling that made me fall in love with theatre in the first place. And you can get a taste of it too!

Here’s the trailer

Here’s the song Let Me Die

Here’s where you can buy the album (I assure you, it is worth it!)

Now please check everything out, and message my thoughts, because I would love to talk about it with someone! And if it’s in your city, GO SEE IT.
