Awesomesauce! :D

Gernot makes a fantastic Rudolf, and Mark’s one cool Death (I wasn’t sure whether I should call the character “Death” or just stick with “Tod” :-P).

Gernot. Is. Perfection. Must say it again.

(I always find it a little odd, personally, when people talk about “der Tod” in English because it’s not a personal name or anything, it gets translated in every language the musical is performed in, so it makes sense to translate it when talking about it in English, too. I don’t speak of “der Tod” when I talk about the musical in Finnish either, I talk about “Kuolema” because that’s what he’s called in Finnish.)

My thoughts exactly. Also, to me, placing German words in English feels quite awkward to me, so I prefer to refer to the character as Death.

In Polish situation is different mostly because, as oppose to German or English, in Polish the word “śmierć” is feminine.
