well I have heard that it's just "bling" now, no need for repetition...
I suppose there are likely spelling variations, for the others, as well?

We're producing The King and I at my school, as a few of you know. I like thinking about updating the dialogue, and instead of the King's saying, "Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera," he could say, "Yadda dadda dadda." It would change the flavor of the character altogether, but, oh, what fun to read someone's satirical development there!

I saw Yul Brenner live in the stage version and I just cannot picture him saying "Yadda dadda dadda" [mind-boggling-e]

JFTR, it's not my production; it's my high school's production. The only very small thing I have to do with it is plunking a few piano keys for rehearsals and then performing as an entirely unnecessary part of the orchestra in production. But I wouldn't mind having Yul for a page turner!
