The King and I:
The King and I: Utena Style
Author's notes: Yeah, yeah, I know
what you're thinking. The Utena cast in a musical? Is Lady Kat
insane? Yes, I am. If you don't like it, tough. Anyhoo. Here
goes.

Kakumei Utena or The King and I. Feel free to sue. You'll only
get a smiley-face mug and a bottle of green nail polish.
::the Akio-car drives through a
wall, into a random, or rather not-so-random theater. Akio(of
course) is in the driver's seat, along with Touga in the
passenger's seat. Utena, Anthy, and Lady Kat are all stuffed in
the backseat.::
Kat: ::jumping out of the car,
indicates giant hole in the wall:: And you're sure that will fix
itself?
Akio: Positive.
Kat: Good. ::Anthy, Utena, and
Touga get out of the car:: Akio-san, would you pop the trunk?
::he does so, and the rest of the Utena cast pops out:: Great,
now we can get down to business. ::hands the cast list to Anthy::
Here, give everybody their parts then send them over to me
backstage. I'll be doing costumes and stuff. ::goes backstage::
Anthy: ::looks at cast list::
Utena-sama, you'll be playing Anna, and I'm Lady Thiang. ::hands
cast list to Akio:: Shall we go?
Utena: Sure. And will you please
stop calling me Utena-sama??
Anthy: ::smiles:: Hai, Utena-sama!
Utena: ::sweatdrop::
Anthy: Bye Oniisama! ::waves to
Akio::
Akio: I'm Sir Edward Ramsey. And
Touga, you have the title role.
Touga: I'm the king? ::smirks::
Nanami: Tenjou is starring
opposite *my* Onisama?!? And Himemiya is the head wife?
Touga: You're one of my wives
too....
Nanami: I don't just want to be
*a* wife, I want to be *the* wife!!
Touga: Calm down, Nanami.
::smiles::
Nanami: Hai, Oniisama. ::walks off
in a huff::
Utena: ::from backstage:: I hafta
wear a *what*?!?
Kat: ::also from backstage:: Chill
Utena!! Jesus Christmas, you're uptight.
Anthy: ::backstage:: Anyone for
curry?
Kat and Utena: ::run screaming
back into main audtitorium. Kat is carrying a needle and spool of
thread. Utena is wearing a huge-ass hoop skirt with a crinoline
thrown over the top and a corset.::
Anthy: ::walks onstage in a tight
short-sleeved purple dress and is carrying a pot of curry:: What?
Nanami: ::slumping in chair:: They
get the good roles....I'll show them. I'll show Himemiya!!
Chu-chu: ::hops onto Anthy's
shoulder and eats curry::
Kat and Utena: ::breathe sigh of
relief and return backstage. Anthy, Touga, and Akio follow, with
Nanami hops out of her chair and runs after them::
Juri: ::who has by some unknown
way acquired the cast list:: Shiori is Tuptim, I'm a wife of the
king, and ::rolls eyes:: Ruka is Lun Tha. ::throws list towards
Shiori::
Shiori: Really? ::pause:: Who's
Lun Tha?
Juri: ::sigh:: Tuptim's lover.
Shiori: Yay! ::glomps Ruka::
Juri: ::heads backstage followed
by Ruka with Shiori still firmly attached::
Kat: ::from backstage:: Utena, you
look fine. Touga, put the jacket *on* please. Arigato. Anthy, get
Chu-chu to stop eating your headdress. Akio, get your hands off
of me! Shiori, I can't do a decent measurement of Ruka with you
hanging off of him. And dammit, will all of you just shut up for
five seconds?!?!?
Miki: ::discreet cough:: I'm Louis
Leonowens; Saionji you're the Kralahomme.
Saionji: What?
Miki: King's right hand man.
Saionji: ::scoffs:: Figures.
Utena: ::walks out followed by
Anthy and Touga:: I'm *not* wearing this thing. ::Utena is
wearing a blue skirt over the hoop, a lacy blouse, a blue jacket
with lacy sleeves and a blue hat-thing. Her hair is pulled into a
neat bun.:: I look ridiculous.
Anthy: No more than the rest of
us, Utena-sama. ::smiles. Anthy is wearing the aforementioned
purple dress and a lot of big, clunky gold jewelry::
Akio: ::walks out to Touga, Anthy,
and Utena. He's wearing a very nice 1800's-style tuxedo:: How do
I look?
Utena: Great!
Anthy: ::smiles::
Touga: ::looks at Utena, then
Akio, then Utena and then frowns. Akio smirks and sits down just
as Shiori comes out dragging Ruka Shiori's wearing a white
leotard with gold trim and white poofy pants(think Princess
Jasmine) also with gold trim. Ruka has on a very long blue robe
that looks somewhat like a dress::
Juri: ::follows the aforementioned
two scowling. She has on a toga(no pun inteneded) and lots of
jewelry Nanami comes out wearing the same thing.::
Kat: ::yelling:: Kralahomme!!
Louis!! Let's go!! ::Saionji and Miki head backstage:: Princess
Ying-Laowluk, Prince Chululongkorn!! Captain Ortin!! ::crickets::
Mitsuru! Mari! Mikage!! Get up here! ::they head backstage::
::a white car drives into the
theater. A girl with long black hair gets out of the car, drops a
large bag on the ground and drives away. The bag happens to be
moving, so Keiko, Yuuko, and Aiko all go over to investigate.
Wakaba bounces over them and rips open the bag. There are five
bishonen, all tied up.::
Kat: ::runs out from backstage::
Oh good, Kelly delivered my package. ::picks up a tape:: And the
next four episodes of Sailor Stars!! Whoo-hoo!!
Wufei: ::sees Kat:: Oh no. Not
*you* again!! ::struggles to get untied:: Onna, this is
INJUSTICE!!!
Kat: I missed you too, Wufei.
::sitting down inbetween Trunks and Gene( Starwind, that is. ^_^
):: Hi!!
Trunks and Gene: Hi.
Trunks: Could you untie me?
Spike: ::from behind them:: Us.
You mean us.
Kat: Trunks honey, you can untie
yourself.
Trunks: This is true. ::breaks
free of ropes::
Tigers-eye: These ropes are
leaving marks on my skin!!
Kat: What a tragedy! I'm
distraught. ::wraps her arms around Trunks who in turn blushes::
You all are gonna be the preists in my play!!
Wufei: No!!! Not again!!!
Kat: He just had a bad
experience.....acting.
Wufei: You gave me split
personalites, onna!!!
Kat: Oh. Right. That. ::laughs
nervously:: Anyhoo! Trunks, bring these four backstage for me,
woudja? ::goes backstage. Trunks follows, carrying Gene,
Tigers-eye, Spike and Wufei::
::an hour later, Miki and Mikage
are dressed like an English boy and English ship captain. Mari is
wearing a wraparound dress witha sash and jewelry. Saionji is
wearing a open jacket and what appears to be a skirt. Mitsuru is
wearing blue Aladdin pants and a blue jacket that's open in the
front. The preists are all wearing....tougas...no, wait, I mean
togas....damn, this is gonna be confusing. The remaining
wives(Keiko, Yuuko, Aiko, Kozue, Kanae, Wakaba and Tokiko) are
all wearing different colored togas with lots of gold jewelry.
Tanaka, Suzuki, Yamada, and Tatsuya(the Amazons/guards)are all
wearing purple Aladdin pants and purple vests. Mamiya is wearing
a green turtleneck and green Aladdin pants.::
Kat: You all look....so
wonderful!!!! Okay, now. Hair. All female cast members except for
Utena and Shiori. You have to have your hair up in tight buns on
the top of your head. No loose strands. Good luck. Men with long
hair.....I'll deal with you later. Preists, you guys......have to
be bald.
Gene, Tigers-eye, Trunks, Spike,
and Wufei: NANI?!!?
Kat: ::cringe:: This is going to
be hell.
*Well, that's part 1. Next time,
the opening! Whoo! Hoo!! Anyway. Please review, I want
feedback!!*
