Marilyn Mastin Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 It could be that it has taken him 10 years to get it to the stage, maybe due to getting people to agreeing to fund it for him.Or he has been too busy to just sit down and work on it, hence the 10 years before it's been ready to stage. Just some theories. I agree with that. I also took it to mean, ten years from the concept of the show, through the writing of it, to the preparation and possibly the funding to finally getting it onto the stage. I love how Mika talks to us about things we've probably never heard about. I'd never heard of this guy, but I certainly admire what he has achieved.

I so hope he gets some inspiration from it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I really would like Mika to tweet like that in every city he is staying in Coz I would like to go to watch this show now, but LA is still pretty far away for me I wish he could share such things when he is in Paris too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceebs Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think you're right, or at least me too I understand that By the way, Mika in these days is in a kind of twitter-mania And I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alireine Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 In Paris he doesn't go to shows. He's too busy playing with the hotel cat He should I tried to tweet him a few recommendations when he was here, but he obviously ignored my advice. Or at least he didn't share the review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I've become a fan, I've begun to learn Italian, learned about Dario Fo, the books of Angela Carter, what a Maronite Catholic is, Lebanese culture, artists, this man who put on the play, cat lamps that turn on when you.....never mind. Anyhow, I feel like I've been enriched and I love that. Plus,I never would have met you fine people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I became Mika´s fan my English was very poor, I learnt so many new things, I started to travel through Europe on my own, I saw cities I never would have seen without Mika, he made me curious to google many interesting People and I met so many great people from MFC, here and in real life and found really good friends. I never want to miss all that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never want to miss all that again. Totally agree with you! I have known people that I never had the opportunity to meet or know their existence like for example, Nick Littlemore: if it was not for Mika, I would not have ever known his music, his work for the Cirque du Soleil... For not talking about all the places even the most remote places of the world that I would never have dreamed of knowing Before Mika, I only listened to classical music or musics from 70s or 80s and liked only painters until the early twentieth century.. Thanks to him, I've discovered a new world full of amazing and creative people...not just in music or in art but even in his fans and that's the most important thing IMO! I believe that each of us had more or less the same experience and I think that it's totally amazing because with him you don't only love his music but he improves you in all aspects. It's a bit like a "Do ut des" or at least for me it is. I believe that if I had not started to follow him, I would be a different person and possibly I'd still be fighting many of my nightmares. I guess he did not even imagine that Edited February 16, 2014 by Lucrezia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine Mika doing something like that someday, and when he meets inspirational people it must give him such a buzz. I agree that he brings out the best, and most creative aspects of his fans.

Alireine Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Group hug for all us cultured and brilliant fans! (not quoting everybody here but hugging everybody ) That's one of the things I love about this fanhood, that it's more than just about the music. Since I've become a fan, I've begun to learn Italian, learned about Dario Fo, the books of Angela Carter, what a Maronite Catholic is, Lebanese culture, artists, this man who put on the play, cat lamps that turn on when you.....never mind. Anyhow, I feel like I've been enriched and I love that. Plus,I never would have met you fine people. But I missed this connection with Mika (cf Angela Carter), can someone explain me? I have no idea who she is That´s exactly how I think about it too. When I became Mika´s fan my English was very poor, I learnt so many new things, I started to travel through Europe on my own, I saw cities I never would have seen without Mika, he made me curious to google many interesting People and I met so many great people from MFC, here and in real life and found really good friends.

I guess he did not even imagine that So much agreeing with you all I'm very interested in the artists that Mika likes, do we have a thread about that? I mean, we know he loves art and drawings and all that, and we know DaWak, but do we know more in details who are these artists, for example the ones whose paintings are hanging on the walls of Mika's (many ) houses?
