If you are from Overseas, try to get your tickets via Pia Tickets, you have an option to pay via your credit card and collect your tickets in any Family Mart Convenience Stores in Japan later when you are there. Tickets have to be collected at least 2 days before the show.


If you are a guy, try to catch the show during the Tokyo run. The Takarazuka Bow Hall can be a little intimidating if you are not used to having 95% die hard females fans around you in the theatre. Also, the Bow hall is a 500 seater theatre, you might want to book your tickets early.

cast

Phoenix Wright フェニックス・ライト : Tom Ranju
Leona Clyde レオナ・クライド (*Takaradsuka ver. only character) : Asahi Miwa
Edge Worth エッジ・ワース : Hikaru Nanaho

What's "Edge Worth"???lol

---

I wonder about the new charater mentioned, Leona Clyde. What do you think the pun on her name is?

---

"Leona Clyde" has no meaning in the Japanese.
Is there any meaning in the English?

---

None that I can think of right now.

Are there any pictures of the performers? I'm interested in this Edge Worth character.

---

If Takarazuka came up with the name there might not be a pun. I don't see anything obvious in it, at least.

---

sigh

leona clyde
i hope you aren't the love interest

Ooh, thanks for the info! This is going to come in REALLY handy, since I'll probably have to buy my tickets here in the USA before I fly over to Japan.

Question: Where exactly are the two venues? ^_^;; I guess, as in, which prefectures?

Takarazuka Bow Hall is in Takarazuka, Hyogo and Seinenkan is in Tokyo. If you are coming down from Osaka, you should try to go for the Bow Hall run.

Ticket pricing is 6000 yen for all seats in Bow Hall and for the Seinenkan, it is 7500 for the S seats and 5000 for the A seats

Thank you! I'm definitely going to be hitting the one in Tokyo, then. Since that's where I'll be.

I really appreciate the information. ^_^

---

They changed Miles's name so Nick can feel free to call him as "Edgey"

Wow both of the two new actresses are very pretty!

...I don't really like the idea of adding an OC though

---

"EdgespaceWorth"? lolwut

---

Hehe. ^_^

Yeah, I don't really like them adding an OC as well... but at least this way, no one can really say that "It's canon." (Even though it's not anyway, but I can see people being like, "Well, it happened in the musical! So it HAS to be canon.") I think that they did it in order to placate the shippers or something like that. ^_^;;

---

Oh, man. I like how they're using the English names. It's kinda strange, but it's very interesting.

I think Edge Worth = Edgeworth. Yeah. It's just too much of a coincidence.

---

If you are curious how they will end up looking like

T_T I wish I could go.
