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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

...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.

The actress who acts as Anthy is so pretty omg

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Sanae Kimura is such a good Juri 🌹.

amazing execution - super weird rendition of the story hahahaha. thanks for sharing

Omg I'm so glad I came across this hidden gem :')

after see this version i suddenly like touga 😳

now upload the whole play but with ur commentary ur so funny pls

CHU CHU IM SCREAMINSsj

The description in this video is so accuret

Saxophone, more like SAPHOPHONE !...I'll see myself out...

This is actually one of the best things I've ever seen

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

I’m so sad that I didn’t find out about this earlier because oh my gosh Anthy’s voice sounds so gorgeous😳

TBH THIS MUSICAL HAS MY FAVORITE LIVE RENDITION OF ANTHY
