Celebrated novel finally gets a musical version!

Ikebukuro-based Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre has twice previously held workshops themed around the Ira Ishida novel series “Ikebukuro West Gate Park” in 2014 and 2015, with a view to creating Ikebukuro-set dance-based entertainment that appeals to a general local audience.
Now in 2017, the project is finally being taken to the next level, with a performance in front of an invited audience in Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre’s Theatre West hall.
The theme of the new musical is the street gang warfare of the “Sunshine-dori Civil War” installment in the series. The drama that unfolds between familiar characters from “Ikebukuro West Gate Park” will feature additional original songs and group dancing.
