Haikara-san ga Tooru ("Here Comes Miss Modern"), a classic 1970's shoujo manga by Waki Yamato about a modern-minded girl trying to avoid being pushed into an arranged marriage in 1920's Japan, is being adapted into a stage musical by the Takarazuka Revue, a world-famous all-female theater troupe.
Originally serialized from 1975 - 1977 in Kodansha's Shōjo Friend manga magazine, Haikara-san ga Tooru follows the exploits of Benio, a strong-willed and tomboyish young lady who finds herself in a pickle when she discovers that her family has arranged for her to be married to Shinobu, a handsome young soldier.
The musical adaptation of Haikara-san ga Tooru features a script and direction by Naoko Koyonagi and stars Rei Yuzuka in the leading role. The production will run from October 07 - 15, 2017, at the Umeda Arts Theater Drama City venue in Osaka and from October 24 - 30, 2017, at the Nippon Seinenkan Hall venue in Tokyo.
Tickets to the Osaka performances cost 6800 yen ($62.62 US), while tickets to the Tokyo performances cost 5000 yen ($46.05 US) for A class seating and 6800 yen for S class seating.
