** The Lithuanian production has Death wearing black leather pants with a highly exaggerated high waist, a black leather duster [[WalkingShirtlessScene and nothing else]]. And half his face is covered in gold paint and what looks like sequins or fake glass squares.

* UncannyValley: Shirota Yu (Toho production)'s portrayal manages to be a mix of this, NightmareFuel, and NarmCharm. His movements as Death is an odd combination of feline, simian, and human.

** The entirety of the blocking and choreography for "Die Schatten werden länger (Reprise)" in concert. Death has a longuing whip that he cracks a few times [[note]]presumably as Bratfisch, the carriage driver who took Rudolf and Mary Vetsera to Mayerling, and was the last person to see the Crown Prince alive[[/note]], then uses as a cat toy or fishing rod. Rudolf grabs the whip and has a tug-of-war with Death at the end of the song. It's narmy, sure, but it's full of symbolism.

* ToughActToFollow: It's the most successful German-language musical ever made, so this is inevitable for Kunze and Levay's later collaborations. Their next musical, ''Theatre/{{Mozart}}'', wasn't nearly as successful. They had slightly better luck with their third, ''Theatre/{{Rebecca}}'', which is more popular than ''Mozart!'' but not nearly as popular as ''Elisabeth''. Their fourth, ''Theatre/MarieAntoinetteMuscial'', was a flop in Germany but had a much better reception in Japan. Their fifth, ''Theatre/LadyBess'', has only been performed in Japan and there's no word of it ever coming to Europe.
