Summary translations
Okay, I waited until midnight before posting again :P
So, those summary translations. They're about as good as I can get them without outside opinions, so I thought I'd ask people's thoughts before putting these on the Wiki.
Studio 54
Set at "Studio 54", a discothèque in New York that captivated celebrities all over the world from the latter half of the 1970s to the 1980s. A musical production about a runaway papparazzo following a scandal and his target, an up-and-coming actress, who connect with each other after a certain incident. Holy Ashley is a freelance journalist who supplies "scoop" photos and gossip articles to tabloids and evening magazines. One night, a party is held at Studio 54 celebrating the release of rock star Z-Boy's new album. Holy gets an exclusive story on the up-and-coming actress Giselle Morgan, who is rumored to be Z-Boy's lover. But Z-Boy's agency interferes with the article being published. Holy needs money -- to give back to the orphanage where he was raised. Desperate, he chases after the pair and gets involved in an incident...
* I know, I know, "Holy Ashley" XDDD I couldn't help myself, that's what I thought when I saw ホーリー・アシュレイ. I mean, Cate said "Holly" but I think that would be ホリー, so... Hoary Ashley? ^^;;; Alternative romanization suggestions welcome.
Dancing Heroes
A dance performance by Moon Troupe's younger members, led by Kiryuu Sonoka. Young people who become heroes through dancing. A two-part composition -- the omnibus "Heroes" making the story of dancing dreams a reality, and various styles of dance in the dancing show time "Dancing!" A stage production overflowing with youthful vigor, honed bodies and unquestionable artistic skill.
Ai no Prelude
Set in the port town of Santa Monica -- the pure love story of a man who pulls away for the sake of those he loves, and chooses to walk down various paths. Freddie Clark once worked taking jobs from those who were troubled in life and solving their problems, but now lives as a free-willed gangster. He receives a request from an acquaintance to follow and guard a certain woman. The woman is Kathy Lauren, the pretty but not-yet-mature daughter of a company president. Freddie thinks it sounds dull, but is lured in by the large sum of money and takes the job. The gangster and the company president's brat spend lively days together until they are involved in an incident. The task of protecting and escorting an annoying pest becomes that of a bodyguard... Freddie fights to settle the incident, but...
Le Paradis!!
A mature revue with the themes of "splendor", "dreams" and "time". Paris holds the slightly bittersweet image that "life" is only for a moment; a splendorous dream. This production is composed of scenes related to the color and scent of every part of Paris, capturing its charm through a modern eye.
Ugh, especially that last one took FOREVER and is still such a mess. And someone, please tell me what to do with DH's "honed bodies" x___x
