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
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.
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.
...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.
@@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!
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.
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 not takarazuka, but 3 former members of takarazuka are playing in it. it's just a single gender cast, not really uncommon in Japan.

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.
@@MollyGermekGood take 👍
My slow self just realizing that it's a totally female cast.
one of The most iconic scenes in the musical is when nanami yells at touga and calls him mean. girlboss
where can I find it?
@@Inda1 ruclips.net/video/0ebRdVnbj7o/видео.html
At around 30:10!
Somehow they made it gayer, impressive 👍
Wakaba's song literally just here to remind everyone about heteronormativity
Just noticed how this adaptation leans closer to the manga version of the story!
im so sad no one has posted the songs separately from each other :( just wanna listen to soft lesbian music on loop
Actually they have, but they don’t sound exactly the same as the ones from the musical.
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.
4:04 the saxophone almost sounds like it wants to play Careless Whisper
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 ☠️
crushing on Saitou Rei is the correct way to react to her
she has a you tube channel by the way
The actress who play Anthy is so pretty!
I DIDN’T KNWO THERE WAS A MUSICAL HOLY SHIT
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.
THE SAXOPHONE I-

Why did I literally start crying at her voice at 2:50 😭😭 she sings is so beautifully help 🤬😍😍
thank you for a positive reaction to this musical, it's cursed but has some genuinely lovely moments
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.
I laughed harder than i will ever admit at chu chu XD
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
@@josephine4s oh damn, chu chu made the show how dare they
@@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!
@@josephine4s okay that is an amazing idea
@@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!
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
The actress who acts as Anthy is so pretty omg
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.

An all women cast 😍😍😍😍😍. Jesus I feel like those school girls that you in mangas that pine and swoon over their female senpai.
Wakaba: The Manga Author’s hand on Ikuhara’s page as she shakes her head. Too much sapphic for her.
Sanae Kimura is such a good Juri 🌹.
5:00 I just realized touga's background dancers are the shadow girls :0
amazing execution - super weird rendition of the story hahahaha. thanks for sharing
Omg I'm so glad I came across this hidden gem :')
I would cry all the time if I watched this life 😭😭💖 it's so beautiful especially Anthy's singing
after see this version i suddenly like touga 😳
This is actually one of the best things I've ever seen
now upload the whole play but with ur commentary ur so funny pls
The description in this video is so accuret
Saxophone, more like SAPHOPHONE !...I'll see myself out...
I’m so sad that I didn’t find out about this earlier because oh my gosh Anthy’s voice sounds so gorgeous😳
I never get tired of watching your epic response supercut THANK YOU
CHU CHU IM SCREAMINSsj
My sister/brother in Christ, you made a perfect edit here
TBH THIS MUSICAL HAS MY FAVORITE LIVE RENDITION OF ANTHY
ive seen this musical at least 20 times
ALSO how could you forget the "its over now ;)" "yeah ;)" from touga and akio at the end lmao /nm
you’re so valid for that
@@anhane6133 i ALMOST did include it, but it along with a bunch of song bits were cut from the vid cuz my original draft was so long :,)
they are so funny and odd though fr
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)
It's performed by Takarazuka Revue, an all-female theatre troupe!
@@carpewhatsit i knew it!! They're all so good in their roles 🤩🤩🤩
@@carpewhatsit it;s not takarazuka, but 3 former members of takarazuka are playing in it. it's just a single gender cast, not really uncommon in Japan.
WHY DID I NEVER KNOW THERE WAS A MUSICAL THIS IS SO RAD
Uhhhh I wish we got more musicals of our favorite anime.
Are the bells at 9:20 playing fucking DIES IRAE dhxoqheuxjwb
