It has been announced that Morning Musume’s Tanaka Reina and the 9th and 10th generation members will take part in a new stage play titled Stacey’s Shoujo Saisatsu Kageki (Stacey’s maiden repeated killing opera).
When I first read the announcement, I was really happy to see that the 10th generation members are getting their first chance at appearing in a stage play so soon since it has only been month since their addition to the group and it’ll be amazing to see their acting skills at the moment, and while Reina and the 9th generation members have already appeared in several stage plays either individually or all together, It’s always a pleasure to see them perform in various settings and in different storylines and roles.
Apart from that, the stage play seems really interesting since it mixes drama and tragedy with elegance, and while we don’t have a set theme for it yet, it looks promising as to the story, and having the girls as the main act for the stage play is the most impressive even though Reina, Riho and Kudou seem to have the most important parts.
Hopefully more information and reports about the stage play will be featured soon and I urge everyone who can attend a performance to do so in order to enjoy the play and check out the members’ acting skills as well.
The musical will run from 6/6~12.
