Heartless: Audio Drama
RoshiVA for King of Hearts (Supporting)
The King of Hearts is a very sweet, simple-minded man. He is cowardly and often covers up problems in the kingdom by throwing parties to keep the people's spirits up. He is well-intended but foolish. He is head-over-heels for Cath and enjoys her baking, but finds it hard to express himself. He is awkward and silly. His voice should be high and reflect his high-strung, overly positive nature. A good reference for him comes from the fan musical production of Heartless, see here: https://youtu.be/T3lOcC_lo7o?si=8jh4t6AKxP0ej3Si

Lady Pinkerton, you are a treasure. Though I must confess, I have a particular weakness for key lime tarts as much as lemon. You know what they say. Key lime is the key to a king’s heart! (giggles obnoxiously)
I cannot call myself an unbiased judge, your honorable Mr. Rabbit, our most thoughtful master of ceremonies! I am full of bias. For this very pumpkin cake set before us was made by the ever-charming Lady Catherine Pinkerton, a girl that is someday to be my bride! So, you see, for any contest in which she is a participant, I will say to you, yes! She wins it all, my heart, my joy! What a queen you will make, Lady Pinkerton, cake baker, and happiness maker! Oh, oh, somebody write that down! Jest - there you are! Write that down! I shall include it in my next poem!
(frightened) B-b-but, darling! We…we have never… In Hearts, we don’t… Why, sweetness, we don’t even have an executioner!
