some moments from (one of) the revolutionary girl utena musical(s)

[@chickenwithitsheadcutoff]

also in case anyone is wondering the entire thing is literally on youtube!!! you can watch this specific musical right here (@ least in the us) however it is the first in a series, and i haven’t seen the others on here

[@ratbones620]

This musical looks so fun, but seeing a full human sized chu-chu really put me off guard lol

[@lets-all-love-lain]

Somehow they made it gayer, impressive 👍

[@wareforcoin5780]

My slow self just realizing that it's a totally female cast.

[@lucideandre]

4:04 the saxophone almost sounds like it wants to play Careless Whisper

[@magg7107]

one of The most iconic scenes in the musical is when nanami yells at touga and calls him mean. girlboss

[@Inda1]

where can I find it?

[@magg7107]

@@Inda1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpbFg5eMo8edbdE At around 30:10!

- Very cute Utena / Anthy song - I was not ready for the Rat Man - Omg they turned Wakaba straight

[@MollyGermek]

Wakaba's always been straight, she's just always under the assumption Utena is a closeted trans man.

[@TheCedarFresh]

​@@MollyGermekGood take 👍

[@trappedontheinternet]

Wakaba's song literally just here to remind everyone about heteronormativity

[@emmad.8815]

the woman who plays anthy is so perfect for the role ugh

[@scentedpapers6569]

Just noticed how this adaptation leans closer to the manga version of the story!

[@reyofdawn]

im so sad no one has posted the songs separately from each other :( just wanna listen to soft lesbian music on loop

[@BunnyandMoon]

Actually they have, but they don’t sound exactly the same as the ones from the musical.

[@BunnyandMoon]

If you search for The Rose Bride, Rose with No Flower, For the Sake of Revolutionizing the World, I Want You to Protect Me, you might find them.

[@badulgumm5458]

The actress who play Anthy is so pretty!

[@ilovemanasama5339]

Pls someone say I'm not the only one crushing on the actress who plays Touga ☠️

[@harukaru84]

crushing on Saitou Rei is the correct way to react to her she has a you tube channel by the way

[@wendyundead]

THE SAXOPHONE I-

[@endervalentine9588]

I DIDN’T KNWO THERE WAS A MUSICAL HOLY SHIT

[@josephine4s]

Turns out that there were multiple! Sadly, it seems that only three are now viewable :( . There is La Comedie, Bud of the White Rose, and the later’s sequel, Blooming Rose of Deepest Black.

[@prowlandsasuke]

An all women cast 😍😍😍😍😍. Jesus I feel like those school girls that you in mangas that pine and swoon over their female senpai.

[@Realtin_Ravage]

5:00 I just realized touga's background dancers are the shadow girls :0

[@SingingDragons11]

Gotta love the sax solo in the middle or Utena’s song to Anthy and the liberal use of electric guitars. Absolutely perfect

[@MitchellTF]

...What's hilarius, is "Suddenly becoming a musical" would be pretty tame for Utena. ...they didn't do that at one point. Did they? It's Utena. WALKING UP STAIRS is dramatic stock footage.

[@bigjedimullet]

so 20 frickin years ago I had Utena fansubbed on VHS, and there were clips of this but only a couple of highlights from the first act (all untranslated) but I also had the album where it’s basically one actress singing most of the songs, and I didn’t know “Girls’ Season” was a Wakaba song and now everything makes sense.

[@Papismackmyassss]

I laughed harder than i will ever admit at chu chu XD

[@josephine4s]

RGU Bud of the White Rose was a better and more faithful stage adaptation than this, but it’s fatal flaw is that it lacks Chu Chu :P

[@Papismackmyassss]

@@josephine4s oh damn, chu chu made the show how dare they

[@josephine4s]

@@Papismackmyassss I kind of want to see a play where Chu Chu fights in a duel, wearing armor and wielding a giant fork-him vs. Saionji when that jerk comes back to the school!

[@Papismackmyassss]

@@josephine4s okay that is an amazing idea

[@josephine4s]

@@Papismackmyassss Thanks! I'm not a writer, let alone a playwright, but if I was, I would be trying to make a new adaptation so badly!

[@penthe-e]

Why did I literally start crying at her voice at 2:50 😭😭 she sings is so beautifully help 🤬😍😍

[@harukaru84]

Gou Mayuka playing both Dios and Akio and making me liking Akio is not fair. at least he wasn't as trash here as he is in the anime.

[@anonimoon2826]

The actress who acts as Anthy is so pretty omg

[@jacksonhyde9617]

thank you for a positive reaction to this musical, it's cursed but has some genuinely lovely moments

[@kasuari]

PLSSS THE DO YOU NOT LOVE ME ANTHY WAS SO SAD,,, AND HER SHOUTING ANTHY'S NAME

[@kinoleogeo7998]

Wakaba: The Manga Author’s hand on Ikuhara’s page as she shakes her head. Too much sapphic for her.

[@elina3016]

I loveeee how everyone in the cast put their all in it! But gosh, Anthy's actress was SO great

[@poorsmolchildissmol]

I found out Utena had a musical (and probably Utena in general) by stumbling into a shot of Rei (Touga) and I was so caught off guard because at the time, I knew her as one of her previous roles (Sailor Pluto). Looking here, I noticed even Sailor Uranus's actress is there too. The musicals world back then was a small one, huh. I haven't watched the anime itself yet since just recently I decided to dive into it and so far I've only seen pictures and they look pretty stunning.

[@poorsmolchildissmol]

Oh yeah, I just finished both the series and the movie recently after losing a mental struggle whether to take my time or binge it. I felt like that one meme guy pointing at a TV, going "Hey, I know that reference!" and I actually really liked it. It's a little confusing since it's my first time watching but considering how symbolic it is, I think I might need to give it a couple more goes.

[@mewmacaroni2070]

[@NeonAtary777]

I would cry all the time if I watched this life 😭😭💖 it's so beautiful especially Anthy's singing

[@couldnt-think-of-a-usernamelol]

ok but can we talk about how anthy absolutely stole the fucking show? her singing voice is actually PERFECT?

Guys is it just me or is every actor a girl??? I've heard of Japanese musicals that deliberately use only female actors for every role (don't remember the name)

[@carpewhatsit]

It's performed by Takarazuka Revue, an all-female theatre troupe!
