Shirota Yuu + Sweeney Todd, Araki/Zukkii Plays Update
Well, we finally have some Shirota Yuu (2nd Generation Tezuka) information!
There were rumours that were floating around that Shirota might appear in the Broadway production of Sweeney Todd; however, it's very much false because it's impossible for him to be in the Broadway production of Sweeney Todd as the Broadway production will close in September 3rd, 2006.
HOWEVER!
Thanks to amamiyarin, Shirota's going to be in the Japanese production of the Sweeney Todd musical. He's playing the character, Anthony Hope, I'm not too sure how it's going to be pronounced in Japanese, but basically he's playing the cheerful young sailor that accompanies Sweeney Todd when they dock from their ship. There will be performances everyday from January 5th, 2007 to January 29th, 2007 at the Nissay Theatre.
Tickets will go on sale for front seats on August 26th (Saturday):
S seat for 12,600 Yen and A seat for 8,000 Yen.
