I Know Theres Also A Bit Of A Time Issue Bc The Original Play Is In The Renaissance And Elisabeth Is Late 1800s - Blog Posts

adding onto the fact that i am insane

Elisabeth from Elisabeth das Musical is La Mort from Romeo et Juliette

reasoning?

In Wie Du, Elisabeth is talking to her father about how she wants to go and explore the world and have all sorta of adventures, and going to Verona seems like enough of an adventure to me.

in Elisabeth's sort of postmortem scene, we see her in a white dress, thin and long. La Mort's dress almost looks like it if it was that dress, torn into pieces.

And if Elisabeth is Death's lover/wife/SO post musical, that probably means she absorbs some of his power to be able to kiss people into death, hand them weapons, reveal herself at will.

Specifically, la Mort's muteness and only being a dancer- she will only dance in death's sight (wenn ich tanzen will), so whenever any Veronese peeps see their deaths coming, she reveals herself (or in moments of intense suffering for Comment Lui Dire). Specific to Comment though, Mort is taking Benvolio's suffering and physically moving and stringing him up by it, which totally recalls die Schatten Werden Langer blocking with Rudolf and Tod to me.

Elisabeth's hair is also totally long and fabulous enough for all those hairdos. Her choreo also often obscures her and her face, which is a bit of a callback to Elisabeth always hiding her face with a fan, but that might be a stretch.
