Musical Romance
Beau Brummell: The Beautiful Man
Written and directed by Ikuta Yamato
Composer: Frank Wildhorn
(story)
"...Okay, let's do it. What you couldn't do!"
It was late 18th century England, a time when class society still existed, with people divided by their birth status...and across the sea in France, a revolution was about to break out...George Brummell, a commoner, enrolls in a prestigious school that he would never have been able to attend, at the request of his father, who had made a fortune in one generation.
"I will do whatever it takes to make the Brummel family upper class in my son's generation..."
By a stroke of good fortune, the father sees what lies beyond the tightly closed door, and his excessive obsession with class and ambition eventually eats away at and distorts his son George.
George went on to university, but was unable to fit in with his classmates who were living comfortably because they were from the upper class.Instead, he fueled his ambition by hanging out at red-light districts where ``snobbish people'' frowned upon him, along with his girlfriend, actress Harriet, whom he met in the downtown area.
George, whose classmates secretly nicknamed him Beau Brummell (Beautiful Brummell) because of his good looks, decides to use the inherited fortune and his good looks to carve out a new life for himself as "Beau Brummell" after the death of his father, who had been holding him back. This means abandoning the image of "George, born in the slums" and parting ways with his past, including Harriet...
Beau Brummell charms people with his refined grooming, fashion sense, and witty manner of speaking. He soon becomes acquainted with the Prince of Wales (later George IV), who has heard rumors about him, and his charm captures the Prince's heart, allowing him to join the ranks of the upper class. With his simple yet clean and elegant fashion, Beau Brummell reigns over high society like a king and achieves glory. However, when he unexpectedly meets Harriet, who has become the Prince's new mistress, the gears of his life begin to go awry...
Beau Brummell, known as the "father of dandyism," rose through the ranks of British class society with his good looks and fashion sense, and this musical romance depicts his triumphs and setbacks.

Written and directed by Nakamura Ittoku
Since ancient times, people have offered prayers for peace, happiness, hope, dreams, love, and sometimes to express gratitude. These prayers eventually became songs, dances, and performances, and through these, they have always been connected to the energy to live tomorrow and the future.
This fantastical and festive show begins with a prologue in which a great god descends in response to prayers from all over the world, followed by scenes themed around celebrations filled with prayer and joy. Through song and dance imbued with a variety of emotions, the show offers "prayers" and wishes for the happiness of the world and its people.
