"Naruto is a wildly successful anime and manga. What's the next step, then? ANS tells us that it's live-action theater. Plays based on anime aren't as unusual as one might think--Prince of Tennis and Sailor Moon are two series that have already been adapted into Japanese musicals. As for the Naruto play, it's supposed to debut next May."

The live-action "Bleach" stage play is currently touring Japan, IIRC. So I guess this isn't too surprising.

. . . It could be 'Orochimaru's Flying Circus' with Sound ninjas running around Konoha wrecking havoc and Kabuto sending it anonymous letters complaining about the lack of logic.

...oh... oh my god...

...Do they use the seiyuu to record their voices and THEN perform using actors? . . .god, I hope so.

I dunno about other anime plays, but I recall the Hunter X Hunter play had the seiyuu do the parts of their characters in the play. It's kind of funny.

POT and Bleach musicals are using actors who can sing.
Not the seiyuus.

You want nightmares? I've seen pics from the live-action Sailor Moon and Sakura Wars plays. 30-something women should not be running around dressed like eleven-year-old girls.

Aah. I'm a theater geek, so I love plays, but... GOD, I hope they don't screw up Naruto. And I hope they don't fuck with the outfits. The Seramyu musical costumes (http://sailoroon.free.fr/images%20seramyu/group75.jpg) still give me nightmares.

Then Orochimaru would suddenly pop out onto the stage dressed up like the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and sings a song about how he loves children and- i should stop.

ahn, I've seen Japanese musicals on NHK, and they remind me of SD anime moments, with characters suddenly stumbling or falling over when something funny happens. The only stuff missing are the giant sweatdrops and throbbing nerves.

Seriously, are they gonna make Naruto the same? What about the chakra and jutsu thinamajigs? Special effects? Argh, I don't put a lot of stock on theatre people.

Argh. I wanna see it just to compare it with the anime and manga. (That's the only reason why I watched Harry Potter, to compare it with the book. Ahn, of topic.) How do they pull off the jutsus and stuff? That's what I REALLY wanna see.

Oh, dear God, NaruMyu?! XD I would soooo totally fly to Japan just for that. This takes the cake. Ahaha...as for who will be playing them...well, in the HunterxHunter Myus, in the first ones, the original voice actors played them, so...maybe they'll get the original cast for it too?

I can't wait, I love AniMyus~! XD

Well, I can´t wait to see it because I think that the Bleach Musicals and the Prince of Tennis Musicals are already very good. And I´m not the least bit scared of the Sailor Moon costumes XD I think that they´re very good O_o;; But whatever...XD

I only know that Gaara will be in the musical...And that´s everything I need to know XP

i knew this was bound to happen. XD
after Bleach?
the other thing i'm still "waiting" to happen, cos i'm quite sure it's something franchises like Naruto should do, are Image Albums per character XD

and oh btw, we've already seen Junko Takeuchi in Naruto's suit. ;D so i guess it won't be a surprise if she actually does Naruto in this play considering she's done the HxH one. ^^
