Hello Kitty Land Tokyo launches the first ever “cute” KABUKI Theater in March 2018

Sanrio Puroland (Hello Kitty Land Tokyo) will launch a new program of its Märchen Theater, a unique blend of traditional Japanese Kabuki Theater, the concepts of “Wa” (traditional Japanese culture) and “KAWAII” (Japanese “cute” culture). The new production, “KABUKI×Sanrio Puroland”, has been created in collaboration with the leading kabuki promotor Shochiku and will premiere on 10th March, 2018 with the full-scale musical “KAWAII KABUKI – Momotarō by the Hello Kitty Troupe”.

Sanrio Puroland has decided to join hands with Shochiku, a leading kabuki Theater promoter, to create an entirely new show aimed at a broader audience. It will bring together world-renowned kabuki theater and Japan’s well-loved Sanrio characters such as Hello Kitty.
This new KAIWAII KABUKI performance is based on the popular Japanese folktale “Momotarō” (‘The Peach Boy’). In this magical story Momotarō, a boy born from a peach, goes on a journey to destroy evil demons accompanied only by a dog, a monkey and a pheasant. As added feature the new show, the first of its kind, will include acrobatics performances coupled with a powerful video display.
