All right, so a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I had the idea to do a Hetalia "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" from Avenue Q as a masquerade skit. But I was preparing for my wedding at the time, and I had only seen a bit of the series. Then Katsucon rolled by this year, and I was SO impressed by all the historical costumes, and by
mithrigil's 1776 Hetalia skit that I went home and marathoned the whole thing with my husband. We decided to give the skit a go at Anime Next. We've been doing skits together for 6 years now, and I can honestly say, this was THE MOST FUN we have EVER had doing one~! Our cast was great, we had fun and learned a lot while making our costumes, and the recording/rehearsal sessions were an absolute BLAST.
The audience seemed to really dig it (as did the judges, we won Best in Show which was COMPLETELY unexpected.) I hope you guys do too!
The cast:
ginnyseta - Belarus
madgophermm5 - America
neoangelwink - Ukraine
suzaku_seishi - France
roserevolution - Canada
jamminbison - Italy
rammyz - Prussia
siefer_sama - Japan
* Yes, America, France, and Japan are actually guys. Well, America is, I haven't checked personally for the other two ;-D
( The videos )( The script )I also just wanted to add that I am aware of the fact that at Colossalcon this year there was another Hetalia skit who used this same song and also won Best in Show (congratz again to you guys!) We are in different parts of the country and had no knowledge of each other, so please no dramu about that! It is a rather obvious idea if you know Hetalia and Avenue Q, and our skits turned out quite differently in the end.
Really hope you guys enjoy it even half as much as we enjoyed performing it!
