NOW Do I Look English?

Description

It took a lot of hard work but King Paramount of Utopia finally managed to master English costume on his own...well mostly on his own. He always needs help with the tie. This is his first honest-to-goodness English suit--one not made in Utopia and not an altered uniform--and he's ridiculously proud of it. Even though Utopia's weather is balmy and tropical he'll wear that coat until he gives out form heat prostration.

King Paramount the First is from Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera 'Utopia Limited'.

A few years ago, the Seattle G&S Society did Utopia Limited. I was at one of the rehearsals for the Drawing Room scene, in which all the Utopians parade past the royal family in their new English regalia. One of the chorus members limped across the stage. The directed noticed and asked if he was all right. He answered, "I'm a Polynesian; I've never worn shoes before. Of course my feet hurt."
